The trip was very well planned, all the accommodations, luggage transfer, meals and GPx tracks were exactly as stated in the itinerary. It's nice to have such a stress free trip given all the different cities and towns we hiked too.

We had a fantastic trip doing the Portuguese Coastal Camino with this company. Our accomodation was great, bags were always there when we arrived hot and tired at our destination and Julia and Melissa, the agents who organised our trip were amazing. We had lots of queries and questions which they always responded to quickly and professionally which we were very grateful for. I would highly recommend them if you are planning a trip.

Completing the Portuguese Camino with luggage transfers, accommodation and itinerary organised made the self-guided hike even more enjoyable. The standard of hotels and rural B&B's was excellent. Most of the accommodation in Portugal had swimming pools which at the end of a hot walk was bliss. The initial communication when booking the trip was great and was always kept up to date. Would highly recommend this company and would use them again.

The trip was well organised from start to finish. The bikes were really good quality and route was easy to follow from the apps. The hotels where basic but met our needs after cycling all day with good food and comfortable beds.
