Any recommendations for Enduro/downhill guiding set-up with uplift vans, accommodation, etc? Obrigado.
I did a day with We Ride Portugal in the north (Terras de Bouro), but they also have other centres in Lisbon and Algarve. Great fun, decent bikes (I had a Transition Patrol) and kit (Came with a Fox Flux helemet and Ion knee pads) for rentals and awesome trails. Really good value too.
Check their website but they do tours/uplift etc
Check Pé Do Negro at Ponte de Lima.
They're mostly into uplifts, guiding and trailbuilding, but I'm sure they can sort out something for accommodation.
Incredible trails there, including stuff from an EWS qualifier last year
http://wheelersmountainbikeholidays.com/ is highly recommend, they are based where the world cup round is this year.
+1 for weride, great hire bikes, good ratio, great guys. We had a couple of days with them in Sintra outside Lisbon.
brilliant, thanks chaps. It's a shame there's not some resource that lists out all the guide companies across Europe and has user rating etc... I've searched all summer for stuff in early June (that I haven't already done in Slovenia, Basque, Verbier, Vosges) that's good quality and ticks all the boxes.
I'd recommend Wheelers also.
