How was Top Walking tours Portugal Born?

All started from the owner’s experience as a cycling passionate, who decided to overcome all difficulties and make a cycling trip to Santiago de Compostela. It started as a simple shop only focused on bicycle rentals and maintenance. However, the owner’s objectives were much larger and undoubtedly related to tourism. And that way was Top Bike tours Portugal born, seeking to provide an adequate service to customer needs, showing the best that cycling has to offer without the stress of having to plan, and organize, everything, and thus providing the best possible experience, whose value is the key ingredient in the ultimate satisfaction of the customer.

Marta was born in 1996: "Since I was a little girl, my biggest dream has ever been to become a tourist guide, because I love to discover new people and new ways of thinking. I went to the university to study tourism and, in the end of all of it, this job opportunity appeared in my way. During a whole month period, my colleagues prepared me to become an expert in this field, being supportive all along the way. Finally I had my first tour. It wasn’t long after that I also had my first review. That was, in itself, the best payment anyone could ever have had, because in this way I touched the heart of the people by showing them the amazing culture my city has to offer. I am a sports girl. I practiced badminton, karate, swimming and the bicycle was my transportation for everywhere.
