“What an adventure! This E-bike tour gave us a great chance to admire the gorgeous scenery on the North side of Madeira and to travel with a fun group and a knowledgeable guide. Some things to know for folx considering this tour…make sure to be flexible with the pickup time and location as it may change the night before. This is an incredibly mountainous area and you will be going up and down steep hills. The whole trip is on the roads with fairly constant traffic so you need to be comfortable with road riding. The bikes’ electric assist worked well but some of the bikes were pretty beat up.…”

He allowed time to become comfortable with the controls and we were off - the ebike’s turbo level made it all very easy. James was very aware of our levels and our comfort, providing water and offering numerous stops along the way. History, local lore, and personal Insights combined with beautiful views made the trip go by quickly. The views from the top of Mt Brasil should not be missed and you will be glad you out in the effort. James made our trip effortless, fun and insightful.…”
