MContours organises guided motorcycle tours in Portugal, with the Algarve as our main base

Choose between Fly & Ride with motorcycle rental and guiding, or selected tours where we transport your own motorcycle from Sweden to Portugal.

MContours uses the Algarve as a base for several different types of motorcycle travel.

The Algarve offers a varied network of paved roads, gravel roads and smaller tracks. Away from the coastal areas, the landscape quickly changes to hills, forests and rural areas with relatively little traffic.

Our Portugal tours are primarily focused on smaller roads away from the main tourist routes.

You choose the number of riding days. Motorcycle rental and guiding are provided by MContours.

Our Fly & Ride option is designed for riders who want more flexibility than a fixed group tour.

You arrange your flight and accommodation and choose how many days you want to ride.

MContours provides:

• Motorcycle rental
• Local route knowledge
• Guiding
• Routes adapted to the riding level of the group

A guided multi-day motorcycle tour with approximately 1,200 km of riding over six days.

The routes combine gravel roads, smaller paved roads and more technical sections. Different riding groups can be used depending on experience and preferred difficulty.

You can bring your own motorcycle, transported by MContours from Sweden to Portugal, or rent a motorcycle from us in Portugal.

Our routes use a mixture of:

• Gravel roads
• Smaller local roads
• Mountain roads
• Forest roads and tracks
• Selected more technical sections

The exact route can vary depending on weather, road conditions and the experience of the group.

This six-day road tour takes you from the Algarve through Évora and Alentejo to Lisbon and the Atlantic coast before returning south to Armação de Pêra.

The route focuses on winding paved roads, smaller roads and daily stages at a comfortable touring pace. MContours transports your motorcycle from Sweden to Portugal and back, with collection points from Umeå and southwards.
