An absolutely excellent trip and a great way to see three countries in two weeks. There was a real mix of cycling, from rough, tough, dirty stuff, to long smooth straights as well as everything in between (it's essentially a road trip though). A few hills were quite demanding (not least in the heat), so the gravity downhill afterwards was welcome! There was some stunning scenery and it's pretty green and lush everywhere. Beyond the cycling, the other activities added to the sense of holiday, while also giving greater insight into what each country has to offer.
We finished the Portuguese Coastal Camino in early December 2023. It was a fantastic experience. UTracks made everything seamless from the initial contact with the company to the completion of our walk. Accommodation was always clean and comfortable, our bags were transported each day and were waiting for us on our arrival at the next accommodation. Unbeknown to us there was a change in our accommodation one day. A local UTracks representative contacted us and told us of the change and the rearranged accommodation. A brilliant example of their organisation. The information and maps provided in the package which we received at our first hotel were excellent. We'd definitely use UTracks when planning another trip.
Gustavo was my tour guide 7 years ago ""Best of Europe"" and I was so happy when the announcement came out for my recent Spain and Portugal tour. Gustavo is the absolute BEST tour guide who goes above and beyond for every single guest. He is very passionate about his job and not many people are as considerate, empathic and kind as he is. A true gem for Expat Explore. Paolo and Joel were our drivers and were also just as helpful, courteous and kind. Wonderful tour and I would absolutely book with Expat again in the future!
