El Castillo de Portland es el punto de partida y llegada y los participantes pueden explorar antes o después del recorrido. Puedes caminar alrededor del castillo o entrar y explorar.
Fortaleza victoriana con vistas al puerto
Rufus Castle, también conocido como Bow and Arrow Castle, es un castillo parcialmente en ruinas con vistas a Church Ope Cove en Portland, Inglaterra. Su nombre deriva del rey Guillermo II, conocido como William Rufus, para quien se construyó el castillo original. La estructura existente data en gran parte de finales del siglo XV, lo que lo convierte en el castillo más antiguo de Portland. Construido sobre un pináculo de roca, parte de la estructura original se ha perdido por la erosión y el colapso a lo largo de los años. En esta parada podrá caminar y disfrutar del hermoso paisaje y también almorzaremos.
El faro de Portland Bill se ha mantenido majestuoso durante los últimos ciento catorce años a una altura de 41 metros (135 pies). La distintiva torre roja y blanca brilló por primera vez sus famosos cuatro destellos de luz cada veinte segundos el 11 de enero de 1906 y tenía un alcance de 25 millas náuticas que ha guiado a los barcos que pasaban a través de las aguas peligrosas alrededor de Portland Bill, además de actuar como una marca de camino para barcos que navegan por el Canal de la Mancha. Podrás caminar o entrar al faro durante la parada.
Tout Quarry Nature Reserve and Sculpture Park es una cantera de piedra abandonada que ahora se ha convertido en un parque de esculturas de piedra. Ahora, una de las atracciones más populares de Portland, puede descubrir más de 60 esculturas ocultas en Quarry, como la escultura 'Still Falling' de Anthony Gormley, y disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas de Chesil Beach y el puerto de Portland. El parque también es un paraíso para la naturaleza, especialmente para aquellos que aman las flores silvestres y las mariposas. Puedes caminar y tomar hermosas fotos.
Chesil Beach en Dorset, Inglaterra, es una de las tres principales estructuras de playa de guijarros en Gran Bretaña. Su nombre se deriva del inglés antiguo ceosel o cisel, que significa "grava" o "guijarros". Tiene una longitud de 29 kilómetros desde West Bay hasta la isla de Portland y en algunos lugares tiene hasta 15 metros de alto y 200 metros de ancho. En esta parada podrás pasear por la playa disfrutando del paisaje único. Tenga en cuenta que la duración de todos los recorridos es diferente debido a tantas variables, a algunos grupos les gusta quedarse más tiempo en algunas atracciones, a otros les toma más tiempo el almuerzo, otros pueden andar en bicicleta un poco más rápido o más lento, etc. Esto hace que cada recorrido en su a la medida de nuestros participantes.

What a great experience being able to take an E-Bike all about Portland. The views were amazing and worth the 1,000 foot climb to the heights of Portland. Nick was a great communicator through the entire process, from booking to the day of the ride. Andrew and Carolyn were expert guides along with Nick. I have not ridden a bike in some time and was able to catch on to riding an E-bike pretty quickly. If you have a chance to practice in advance of your tour, it will make the start of your ride a bit smoother. That said, it didn’t stop me. If you get the chance to take this tour, you should do it!
Nick and John were fabulous guides on our bike tour. They had a thorough knowledge of the area and made the ride totally enjoyable. Would highly recommend a bike tour with them.
Great bicycle tour. Spent 4 hours and about 15 miles. Some paved some trails. Beautiful and interesting sites. Lunch was also nice.
Great tour! Nick & team were awesome! Loved the sights! Portland is so cute. Go to the rock beach Fun
Easy E bike ride around the island. Beautiful scenery and many photo ops. Learned history & folklore. Guides are great.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your day with us. It was pleasure to meet you both. Nick and Emma
This was hands down one of the best excursions I’ve been on and is absolutely worth your time and money. We had a beautiful day of weather which also helped. You get to see so many beautiful locations around Portland and the guides were very kind and knowledgeable. It was very easy and convenient to find once off the ship as well. Cannot say enough good things about this trip. Book it! You won’t regret it!
Thank you for these kind words. It's much appreciated. Was lovely to meet you both and hope you have an amazing rest of your trip! Nick and Emma
Our tour was in October. We started our tour at Portland castle that we got to see at the end of the tour. The shuttle bus that we took at the port only took a few minutes to get to Portland Castle which was the firat stop. Our tour guide, Peter and is wife Michelle were very knowledgeable of the area, but most of all they were caring and succeeded in helping us feel mat home in a foreign land. I'm a very healthy 86-year-old and a little after the first half of the tour my wife and I felt a little tired and Michelle offered to take us in her car to the rest of the stops (two more). The pub or small restaurant had tasty local food and excellent service. The views were stunning, and the rock quarry art was particularly interesting. Peter ushered us into a quaint church building where we were the only tour group there. I even had my picture taken from the pulpit! Pebble beach may not look like much in pictures, but the pebbles are bigger that you might think, and the expanse of the beach and the view is unique. If you have never used an electric bike, Peter will give an introduction to e bikes and let you practice. I am 86 years old and had never ridden an e-bike, but I found it was not that difficult. If you want an active tour with interesting sites to visit and excellent guides, then this bike tour is for you.
Loved this activity! I was a little nervous since I don’t spend a lot of time biking and hills are always a challenge for me. These were quality e-bikes and you get started on top of the hill so there are only some ups and one big downhill. Nothing the bike can’t handle. Peter and Michelle are awesome guides and do a good job assessing the ability level of the group. Lunch stop food was awesome, views amazing, quirky stops, and cool beach. Would love to do another biking adventure with Peter and Michelle. Highlight of our trip so far.
My husband and I would 100% recommend this tour!! So fun and Michelle and Peter were awesome. Sooo much better than sitting on a bus looking out the window! The views were beautiful!! We felt very safe and cared for… we are 65 and we’re a little concerned about of our biking abilities… but it all went so well! Michelle took some great pictures of all us and shared them with us at the end of our trip. They treated us to a great lunch by the shore and bought us a tasty drink at a pub at the end of our tour. So fun… you should definitely take this excursion!
Thank you so much for you kind review, it is much appreciated!! Kind regards, Peter & Michelle.
Amazing guides. Michelle and Peter were very knowledgeable about the area. They were very kind and considerate of our needs. The last time i rode A bike was 10 years ago so i was Quite rusty. But Michelle and Peter made sure we rode at a comfortable pace. Safety was their #1 concern. They offered snacks and water throughout the ride and we were able to stop for a delicious lunch. Although the day was cloudy, the views were still breathtaking. Michelle and Peter were very patient. Michelle even took a lot of pictures on her phone and we were able to transfer it to ours. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for you kind review, it is much appreciated!! Kind regards, Peter & Michelle.
