Leave everything behind, grab a motorclycle with charisma, go away in a charming road and feel unique emotions which you can record and share. A motorcycle has to be so much more than just beautiful, it has to have an exciting engine heartbeat. A road has to be so much more than a paved road, it has to generate emotions. A landscape has to be much more than the view of the horizon, it must be breathtaking. If we add to this the best that gastronomy, culture and entertainment have to offer, then that is a Soulful experience.

Inclusions: The activity includes 1 Royal Enfield 500cc, 1 Helmet, unlimited Km's, liability insurance, 1 luggage option, taxes and toll identification device during the experience 24H.

Exclusions: The listed price doesn't include fuel, the condition is full deposit by full deposit.

After searching high and low for a reputable motorcycle company in Faro, based on the already positive reviews and feedback this one stood out from the crowd and also seemed very reasonably priced. I immediately made a phone call and was answered by Nuno, in perfect English he immediately asked me about my riding ability and what I was hoping for in my bespoke biking experience. At short notice he was happy to take my booking for the following morning and agreed to meet me at one of their conveniently situated City locations. Like clockwork at 9:00am on the dot, Nuno appeared from around the corner on the green Mash 400cc Sidecar, reminiscent of Steve McQueen from the Great Escape. Through a non-descipt garage entrance, we were then guided to the collection of what can only be described as a small showroom of immaculately kept bikes. As it was myself and my partner we decided to opt for the characterful Mash greeting vehicle. As soon as the bike was selected we had to go through the usual administration for license and insurance. Then we went throught a particularly thorough check on the gear, to ensure that it was correctly sized and adjusted for our safety - which was reassuring and felt very official. They had a wide selection of new premium helmets and jackets As we were not familiar with the local area and wanted to cram in as much as possible into our half day experience we decided to upgrade to have a guide to accompany us, which undoubtedly was money well spent. After the final checks on the bike and familiarising myself with the sidecar off we went into the unknown. Our trusty guide carefully leading us through some of the most scenic hill top spots and winding coastal roads. Along the way we visited some real hidden gems; forests, fanstastic hilltop cafes, historic sites and even ending at the Faro Motorcycle Club - where we were warmly welcomed by all. These areas of interest would have been missed without the local knowledge of our guide. Without any further spoilers, this comes highly recommended to anyone who simply enjoys beautiful views and bikes. This experience was one of the best days that I have had on three (and two) wheels. A truly affordable VIP experience. Thank you to Nuno and the brilliant team at Soulful Bikes.

I visited the Algarve and wanted to try something different, I found Algarve Trialriding and booked on for a full day, I've never been trial riding before but have a full bike license, anyway it was simply brilliant, after some basic instructions and a few tips we set off out into the Wild West and all I can say is that if you've never done this before then you're missing out, great trails and only about 500 meters of tarmac all day. What a fantastic way to finish my holiday. Thank you. Andy

We did the half day Jeep Safari to Monchique and had a fantastic time. Pedro our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and was obviously extremely passionate about the Portuguese traditions etc. We saw some stunning scenery with fantastic views for photo opportunities (Pedro took a fair few photos-many unbeknown to us-and sent them to us the same evening!). Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this trip. Next time we’ll do the full day tour. Thanks Pedro.
