We rate each tour on a five-bar scale. Send us your riding history and we’ll recommend the right route — we have options from accessible rides to full-day sustained stages.
Yes — and many riders do. We handle the airport transfer, a pre-ride service, and we have a spare bike in the support car in case of a mechanical issue.
Small groups, between 3 and 7 cyclists, with guide and mechanic. Small enough to move quietly across the island.
Each ride has a plan B route in the briefing. We adjust stages to the weather windows when needed — in the Azores, the mountain sets the calendar.
