Portugal Self-guided Tour Reviews

“We have travelled with Sherpa many times and have always been extremely pleased. The staff are very helpful. We always listen to their suggestions because they always advise whats best for us. Excellent rooms and accommodations. The Casa and Christina were delightful and of course The Vintage Hotel was special.”

“Did self-guided walk in Jan/Feb and liked the uncrowded paths and friendly hospitality at the hotels who were pleased to have guests. Very easy to navigate as entire walk is marked with yellow arrows. The cooler weather was great for walking but also mean raingear was essential and well used. We condensed to 5 days, which meant one 34km day and no stay in Balugaes - we would recommend to others. A rest day in Ponte de Lima would probably be a good option if you do this. Best option for return from Tui to Porto is a taxi to Valenca and then local train at 8.30am which is only two stops and you can easily buy tickets on the day at this time of year. Overall very impressed with the tour operator once again and would do more such walks.”
Beautiful Bike Rides and Fantastic Food

“This is a leisurely trip with some lovely rides in mountains, along rivers and by the coast. There are some nice little villages and quaint towns. The food and local wines were all superb everywhere I went.”
