Good set of highlights, with time for your own activities.
Sintra is beautiful but pick one thing as its bigger than you think.
Lots to see in Lisbon and the transport is easy to use.
Choose a tram ride , Porto is a good one so you can reach Sevales in style

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.

Many wonderful experiences on our holiday in the Azores - thoroughly recommended. Special mention must be made of our superb tour leader Tania. She was faultless - knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful and caring in every way . She worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and we all counted ourselves very lucky to be with her. We were genuinely sorry to say goodbye, as we enjoyed her company so much . She worked so hard to ensure we had the maximum enjoyment from our holiday. Thank you, Tania.

This holiday was made extra special for us by the professionalism and kindness of the Headwater reps - Tony & Ludmilla. The one day when we got soaked, they came to our rescue and collected us early with no no fuss whatsoever. Apart from that one day the weather was kind and the walks spectacular
Walk the quieter trails between historical Coimbra and Porto on stage two of the Camino Portugués. The second stage of our self guided walking route along the Portuguese Camino between Lisbon and Santiago takes you from the historic and lively university city of Coimbra through vineyards, woodlands and villages to Porto, set on the banks of the Douro River and famous for its port wine production. Throughout the walk there are ample reminders of past pilgrims and the route offers many insights into the religious significance of the Camino. The Portuguese Road, or Caminho Portugués, is considered by many as the most spiritually connected pilgrimage route. Following the path St James' body took to its resting place at the site of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the quieter Portuguese path offers a wealth of history and delightful landscapes to discover. Visually stunning in parts, there are many other advantages in walking the Portugués route.
Enjoy the flavours of the Portuguese Cuisine in Lisbon traditional places. The guide will give you lots of inside tips on Wine, Petiscos, Food and Good Company! Bring your appetite! Districts we visit: Baixa – Chiado – Bairro Alto. Try the famous Codfish Cake and Green Wine in a typical tavern at the Rossio Square. Go to Bairro Alto for a couple of Tapas with White Wine in a Wine Bar. Have a taste of Port Wine together with marmalade and cheese in a tradicional groceries’ shop. Enjoy the local’s favorite drink Ginja (cherry liqueur) in the original historical place. Finish with the typical chorizo (Portuguese sausage) with bread and Red Wine at a 17th century Palace.

Your staff drivers and guides is brilliant They are planned, super sweet and helpful I liked that the tour gave us enough time to spend on our own and also let us see major highlights of a city.
This was a GREAT trip I found the experiences with the guides wonderful. They were very informative and interesting.Inart of the trip I was the only English person. The guide that worked with me was Maria Hoyer. She was very very good, provided detailed information, was very easy to talk to and had a GREAT personality. This in particular is key to a memorable experience. She made that part of the trip very enjoyable

The itinerary was perfectly curated, allowing us to see so much in just 10 days without feeling rushed. I particularly enjoyed the blend of city tours and beautiful coastal views. The guides were exceptional, and their passion for their countries was evident. This tour is a wonderful way to discover the rich heritage and stunning beauty of Spain and Portugal.
