We enjoyed our re-booked Camino Portuguese. The walk from Lisbon to O Porto was harder than we thought it would be...some very long walks back to back, combined with hot weather. From O Porto to Santiago de Compostela, up the Atlantic Coast was wonderful.

Overall, I had a great time. Love that the group size was small at only 20 people. It meant that the group hung out together a lot and our tour guide got to know us quite well. I think the tour should be longer such as 13-15 days rather than 10. We didn’t get enough time in places to really ‘delve deep’ such as Porto and Barcelona. I’d suggest 2 nights in each major destination so we can really explore a place. I think this would help with the long drives in Spain as well. Would recommend as a taster to Portugal and Spain!

A great experience!

This was my third cycling trip with Exodus but the first one that is more or less hotel-to-hotel cycling, with only a bus transfer at the end to get to Lisbon. I loved that the focus was very much on cycling (as opposed to other trips that combine the cycling with lots of sightseeing) and the pace was nice and relaxed. I'm a pretty fit 40-year-old and, yes, I could've cycled faster and further and I still would've enjoyed it but for an active holiday that's not super-strenuous this was perfect. Since I loved the cycling so much I found the beginning of the tour in Porto and the end of the tour in Lisbon to be the least enjoyable. In fact, I think it would be better if the final day was a choice between a day trip to Lisbon for those who want it or an additional day's cycling around Óbidos. Most of us signed up for a walking tour in Lisbon, organised for us by our cycling tour leader, but for me this was definitely the most disappointing part of the whole trip since the guide just wasn't very good. In general, we were all left to our own devices in Lisbon and somehow it felt like an anticlimax after the five days' cycling togather. However, there were plenty of other positive points - the accomodation was of a very good standard and all the hotel breakfasts were delicious, the bikes were pretty good, and the cycling routes were a lovely mixture of coastal roads and forest paths.
