Algarve Tours in July 2027

We throughly enjoyed walking the algarve. Communication, instructions and accommodation were all great. The walk is fairly exposed with stunning scenery. Good adaptations for when tides are in or you wish to walk inland. Easy to follow even for novices.

Excellent trip! Everything very well organized and all transport responsive. In terms of the landscape and trails it was extremely inspiring to walk by the ocean for days and enjoy the scents of spring flowers. A beautiful walking experience.

This was one of my favorite activity vacations. The Algarve region of Portugal lives up to its reputation--gorgeous, unspoiled, uncrowded, and wonderful seafood. I sing the praises of our guides Francisco and Rafael who made the trip so special. They were knowledgable, passionate about the region, always good-natured, and extremely patient. The daily walks were easily managed, just challenging enough for those who are very casual hikers. The daily visits to various local craftspeople who introduced to local traditions were all interesting, and the food uniformly excellent. One of the three hotels we stayed at was a bit rundown, but the other two were quite lovely. We had a great, international group, small enough to get to know everyone, and they certainly were a big part of why the trip was so enjoyable. A special shout-out to Jess, an Exodus employee who also came on the trip. She was so much fun, and her energy was infectious. Plus she agreed to take a surf lesson with me on our day off from hiking--try it, you'll like it!

We were delighted with our self-guided trip, Rota Vicentina to Algarve. The beautiful beaches, with interesting vegetation and colorful cliffs. We enjoyed the guesthouses, Celeste had very much charm although not luxurious, our house in Carrapateira were excellent for us. We were happy the tips you gave us to stop in Sarges on our way from Cabo de Sao Vicente (we asked our taxi driver to drop us out on a beach bar). In whole the trip was an adventure.
