I would rate it rather Good, not very good. Our group was very small - 5 people plus driver/guide. Hotels were average, all very basic, 3 stars. Think, 4GTS should have done better for the price we paid. My husband and I visited Lisbon two years ago, so good for us, that time we covered all major sites.Time in Lisbon could be planned better. For example, we spent lots of time driving to other part of city for lunch (included) and when others got to Sintra, it was too late to visit a palace! Boat trip to private beach with lunch (included) - when at least 50+ people from two boats get on a tiny beach it become very crowded and lunch was not good. I would prefer to do just a boat trip which was amazing and cost less.
Relaxing walking in a relatively undiscovered part of Portugal - beautiful coastal scenery, great food (lots of fish!), great company. Our little group was SO happy to get away post-pandemic!
The walking was highly enjoyable, and relatively undemanding for an Exodus trip - though some of the sand dunes can be good for the thighs!
The first two hotels were fine, but the Sagres place is a REAL treat - a fabulous place to end the trip. I really did not want to come home.
As a first time solo hiker, this trip was perfect. Very well organised, great accommodation choices & the maps were easy to use. Staff were always very helpful with any questions leading up to the trip.
