Julien Grisha Quester-Semeon
Our tour with Vasco was definitely one of the highlights of our holidays in Portugal. The value we got for the price with paid was insane, from the top-spec bikes (Orbea RISE H15!!!) to the guidance and nice attitude of Vasco, who knows every single trail in the area by heart … I would do it again without any doubt. Vasco adapted the ride to our technical level, which made the experience a pure pleasure, without having to worry about anything. Thanks a ton for the best 4h of our vacations.

Vasco Set us up on some fantastic mountain E Bikes and gave us maps of routes to take with best lookouts and places to visit. I would highly recommend Irondeer E-Bike tours and rental. We had great rides up and down the coast and certainly enjoyed the extra help on the hills south of Nazare!!

We had the best time going on an e-bike tour with Vasco! He is an experienced cyclist who knows the area very well. The bikes are extremely high quality, and built to endure mountain biking trails, but he can tailor your adventure to mountain biking or street riding. There were three of us, and two were not comfortable riding on difficult trails, so we did mostly streets with a few simple trails. We saw so much that we wouldn’t have otherwise! Dinosaur tracks, a hangliding takeoff point, small towns in the hills, the piers south of Nazaré, and views of Nazare from the other side. We also got to stop and enjoy some coffee and pastries. Some of the views were obscured because it was a foggy day (this is why I included fewer pictures), but we still had an amazing time.
We highly recommend it. The pedal assist makes it pretty simple - the hills would be insane without it! This was easily one of the highlights of our visit to Nazaré.
