Cycle Porto’s Douro riverfront, surf the Atlantic, and enjoy a local snack on this flexible self-guided day for $64.
“Heerlijke activiteit om met een groep te gaan doen. Zelfstandig door Porto fietsen (centrum is wel wat hoogte verschil maar langs de kust is het prima te doen). Het surf gedeelte was top. Uitleg duidelijk en na 1,5 uur was bij de meeste de energie wel op. Het eetgedeelte bij soundmix was prima, leuk om op een plek te komen waar de locals zitten en niet de gemiddelde toerist. Eten en drinken was van prima kwalitiet.”
Review of Tobogã’s 5-hour self-guided e-bike tour through Gerês, with Soajo, Lindoso Castle, GPS guidance, tips, and honest value advice.
“Verrassend dat de gids via GPS was, misschien duidelijker vermelden. Was zeer goed aangeduid en goed te volgen. Zeer mooi landschap ondanks de recente bosbranden. Hiervoor werden we goed geïnformeerd bij start. Heel verschillend terrein en omgevingen. Echt een aanrader voor iedereen met een goede conditie.”
