About us
Introduction of Wheel Nuts Cyclotouring
We at Wheel Nuts Cyclotouring organize bicycle tours in Portugal, one of Europe’s oldest and most scenic countries. For those who want an active vacation, we offer a range of relaxing cycling tours from one or two days to longer endurance trips of up to two weeks.
The basis of all our tours is to promote the cultural values of Portugal, its people, its rich history, architecture and natural beauty. Our own personal, positive experiences over the years inspired us to start Wheel Nuts Cyclotouring. Our goal is simple: to share our experience and enthusiasm for cycling in Portugal with others who are interested in discovering this great country for themselves.
In order to offer relaxing, quality bicycle tours, we organize and guide them ourselves. This way, we are able to provide our customers with personalized attention and custom tour designs. If you happen to have an idea for a tour that we don't already offer, please contact us about your idea. We will always try our best to accommodate your request!

András Herczog: Co-founder of WNC, tour guide and organizer
I am a 30 year old engineer and bicycle mechanic from Hungary. My passion for bicycles started 18 years ago when I began racing as a mountain biker in MTB XCO. After seven years of professional competition, cycling became a permanent part of my lifestyle. I now spend as much time as I can on the saddle of one of my bikes, riding every chance I get. As Cyclotouring is my passion, my philosophy is that everywhere this path leads me is always an interesting place. I am grateful that over the past few years, I have had the privilege to follow my bliss for cycling in Portugal and Spain together with my wife and co-founder, Barbara. The time we spent together on the road cycling inspired us to share this passion with you, which we call Wheel Nuts Cyclotouring.

I am a 30 year old light industrial engineer, I currently work as a packaging engineer. I always loved to cycle, but my true passion rose, when my husband András, showed me how interesting and exceptional discovering new places on two wheels could be. We have cycled in many countries together, visited a lot of beautiful places in Hungary and in Portugal as well. Our company’s goal is to share these unforgettable experiences.
