Great trip. Amazing views. This walking trip was a great way to spend a week. There’s a great variety of walks which meant each walking day was different and interesting. Staying at four different hotels across the week, we covered a lot of the island. We went at New Year and the weather was really mild, t-shirt weather during the day. The views were fantastic and it’s a lovely island. Highly recommended. Local food was great. A good balance of walking and some time to relax.
This trip is perfect for people who want a moderate amount of exercise but may not be up for a big hike. Apart from the Camino walk, I enjoyed our late afternoon/evening walks at the various towns along the way. Denis, our guide, provided deep insights in to the history and culture of Portugal and I felt we were lucky to have such a knowledgeable, and patient, guide. I loved everything about Portugal and would return in a heartbeat! Just watch out for the delicious Portuguese tarts. They are addictive!
We enjoyed almost a week in Portugal touring Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Our guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the area, history, and culture. We highly recommend hi and Destination Services Portugal - they both exceeded our expectations and made our time in Lisbon memorable.
