About Us

// Our experience

bikeiberia, established in 1999, provides top biking services in Portugal and Spain to an international clientele. We know the parts of Portugal and Spain that offer some of the most unique biking experiences in the world. Sharing these with you is our goal.

bikeiberia is the only bicycle tour & rental business that's owned and operated by Portuguese and Spanish nationals. Thus, nobody else knows the treasures of the Iberian Peninsula better than we do. We not only carried out detailed studies about Portugal’s and Spain’s historic and cultural landmarks but also have a lifetime of experience about the destinations you'll be visiting. With us you will get to know places that most other travel companies haven't even heard of.

// Our philosophy

bikeiberia believes in traveling with all senses wide open. The vantage point of your own bicycle gives an outlook to the most beautiful surroundings. The fresh and clean air carries scents of flowers and blossoms. Only by leaving the car behind, one can hear the sheep’s bleat or the locals' chat. Few things feel better than the Iberian sun on your skin while pedaling through an idyllic valley. A regional specialty or a glass of local wine seldom taste better than after healthy exercise in the outdoors.

The character of a region needs to be actively discovered. Traveling on the footsteps of the regional culture & history reveals its true spirit. Via a close contact with the environment, rich and long lasting impression will be found. On a bicycle one never loses the freedom of being on his/her own ways and the possibility to see the world a little differently. Anyway, bikeiberia does not strive to participate in the “Vuelta de España”. On the contrary, we are convinced that by slowing down one experiences more of the world. In any case, we also welcome riders with faster paces and will find good biking solutions for them.

We at bikeiberia want you to feel at home when traveling through our beautiful peninsula. Imagine traveling with us as if it was visiting a friend who shows you his/her home. Our tours are trips that we personally love to do; the places we would like to show you are the most beautiful ones we have found in a lifelong experience; the regional specialties we propose that you try are quite close to the cuisine that our mothers have spoiled us with. We would love to build bridges between our cultures and by this way create foundations for a peaceful world.

// Our people

bikeiberia and its people strive to be perfect hosts who introduce you to the secrets of the Iberian Peninsula. We speak fluent English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Our guides’ job is to make your tour one of the best weeks of the year. They are knowledgeable and charming individuals who take the job they love seriously. They are the people you’d most like to vacation with, those with passion for people wrapped in a winning personality. Furthermore, our tour leaders are specialists on the historic, cultural and natural highlights of the respective tour. You can be sure never to feel lost with them.

// Our destinations

bikeiberia would be delighted to show you the natural diversity of the Iberian Peninsula: Cobblestone streets in whitewashed villages where life has changed little over the centuries, the old roads once traveled by Romans, plantations of cork and olive groves in hidden and still intact landscapes, river valleys lined with slate, rolling hills punctuated with megalithic monuments, medieval fortified towns, ancient castles, and much more…

bikeiberia also wishes to open to you an insight into the rich history and culture of Europe’s westernmost countries: With us you will get to meet the locals along the way. They will be proud to share with you what marks their regional identity: delicious foods & wines and one or another story or tale. Let yourself get enchanted with their hearty politeness and feel the romance of the people’s way of life in the country, remarkably unchanging over the years. Of course, we also know to guide you through the diversity of the bustling metropolises – e.g. Portugal’s brilliant and charming capital Lisbon, cradle for a once worldwide naval power.

// Our hotels
