Knowledgeable travel specialists

Our holidays are designed to make good things happen, for you and the places you visit. We believe that tourism can be a force for good, so we strive to preserve and support local communities and wildlife wherever we go. For us, a Portugal holiday is all about getting back to nature and experiencing local hospitality. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere by camping by the riverside in Alentejo, spot whales off the coast of Madeira, sleep amongst the vineyards in Douro Valley or make new friends by staying at a local guesthouse in Mafra.

Nothing beats hitting some of the highlights when you visit a new destination and Portugal certainly has lots of famous spots to include in your itinerary. But we love to also go to places that you may not have heard of or activities which you wouldn’t think to do too. Cycle through cork trees, kayak by starlight, sample local delicacies and immerse yourself in the unique culture with Rickshaw Travel.
