Walking in Portugal - Remote Coastal Trails

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.

Martin went above and beyond as our guide.

Trip was beyond my expectations at every level

Perfect week. Great leader, good company with like minded people and good varied walks. Well organised

Lydia was excellent, always ready to help

An exceptional tour with Ester, the most proactive, professional, friendly and helpful guide ever. She made everything a delight. The scenery was extraordinary, the routes varied each day, and, in general, pretty easy to navigate. Ester was quite vigilant in areas that were challenging. When I had a challenge with my toe, Ester came to the rescue with a pair of toe socks - something I’d not heard of before (do take note as it would be wise to bring a pair). Things like this could have taken my holiday in different direction. Each night we were taken to a wide selection of fabulous restaurants. The family run hotel had simple, clean, and highly functional facilities. Breakfast was very good. Highly recommend.
