This was our first cycling holiday and didn’t really know what to expect but we loved it. We felt that it challenged us but was doable and it was great to arrive each night to somewhere new - the hotels were great and we really enjoyed the varying and contrasting experiences of cycling along the Danube making it really difficult to pick out a favourite day or part. The bikes (push) were in good condition and luggage transfer was excellent. There were designated cycling paths virtually the whole way and it was exciting being able to cycle into Vienna. Overall a brilliant holiday which we extended with a night in Munich (booked independently) before hand and an extra night in Vienna at the end (booked through UTracks).
They did everything they promised, but it is what they did above & beyond that stands them apart. We were caught in the fires in Portugal & they arranged transport to get us out of danger, changed hotel bookings to accommodate the new circumstances & made us feel very safe. We were more than impressed with the level of communication & service. I won't be looking anywhere else when I book my next trip.

We went in early Sept, so warm enough for walking and a swim in the sea but not hot. Hotel in Sagres very good and lots of good restaurants nearby. Two walks on the west coast and three on the south coast. All walks relatively flat with short ups and downs. Really stunning and interesting geography and geology.
Walk leader organised supplies for picnic lunches.

Great trip to a not over touristed area. Great itinerary with a relaxing pace and free time. Sonia’s enthusiasm for the area rubbed off. Highlights were Matera and Alberobello. Had great food especially a tasting menu organized by Sonia. Would highly recommend this trip.
