Sagres Tours and Trips

When I initially booked the trip I was under the impression from the description that the hotel had a pool, I was disappointed when I found out from others that this was not the case, I had planned to chill out by the pool on the free day. However having said that the hotel was very good and the breakfast was lovely. Regarding the walks, some of them were not as long as the description and I wouldn’t describe them as remote

The Explore experience remote coastal walking holiday was a great experience. The walks were very easy and enjoyable nothing hard, we had to take hiking boots off on one walk due to path was a bit flooded. Martin our guide was an excellent guide and a brilliant lunch provider. His skills at providing 3/4 course meals on the go was excellent. The meals at various restaurants at night were well thought out. Not much for vegetarians. I would recommend the holiday great experience and you get to meet people from around the world. The only downside was hotel didn’t have a pool. It was a very clean hotel all rooms were painted in different colours, very big rooms. Unfortunately no kettles in your room. Clean rooms nice staff. The taxis we’re waiting to take us to the start of the walks and returning us back to the hotel.

A delightful mix of road and offroad tracks for our 6 day route south from Lisbon. It was the perfect way to experience the rural and coastal beauty of SW Portugal in May. Our guide João briefed us each evening for the next days ride outlining coffee and lunch stops, the route and profile. Alex provided excellent support with the van to transport bags and provide cycle maintenance when required. João and Alex are local experts in the region and happy to share their experience and knowledge on all local matters, history, flora and fauna. Hotels and restaurants were of high standard throughout. I opted for an e-bike which reduced any worries about holding up the group. Highly recommend.

My cycling trip along the Atlantic Coast from Lisbon to Sagres between 18-25 May 2025 was an unforgettable adventure. The detailed itinerary notes provided ahead of the trip were easily accessible online, making pre-planning very easy. The accommodation was generally of good quality, offering comfort and hot showers after long days of riding. We dined at outstanding local restaurants that served high-quality food with extensive menu choices, including regional wines. The bikes provided were robust and well-suited for the varied terrain. The organisational and logistical support from Alexandre Conceição (A2Z) was proactive and efficient (nothing was too much trouble), and João Colaço proved to be an exceptional Ride Leader. My only less than positive observation would be the assessment of the ride's grading. This is graded as an Activity Level 3, however, given the significant amount of off-road cycling, including stretches on sand, consideration should be give to recategorise this ride to an Activity Level 4. The trip documentation should also highlight that approximately 65-70% of the route involves off-road cycling, as some riders were unprepared /inexperienced with the technical aspects associated with off-road elements.

Rafael and Francisco from Algavarian Roots made this a memorable hiking,cultural and special experience. They were a fountain of knowledge and the visits to the olive making facility, the winery and the distillery added to the trip. Great hikes in various locations from the Monchique highlands to the coastal trails. But it was the caring guides who did it all. Driving safely, briefing us and Rafael helping and looking out for my wife on the steeper parts. They both were proud of this region and they and their families were connected to the land.

Walking the wild Algarve is a wonderful intro to Portugal's coastal landscape and culture. The trip offers a good balance of sightseeing, experiencing the area's culture and tasting local food and drinks
