A guided walk along the best sections of the Portuguese Way from Lisbon to Santiago. For many pilgrims, the Portuguese Way is more spiritually connected to the Camino than any other way. The Camino is all about the apostle St James, and Portugal, it is said, is where he was known to have first preached. It is also believed that his final journey to Santiago was via Portugal when his bones were brought back from Jerusalem following his beheading. The Portuguese Way, which is second only to the Camino Francés in popularity with modern day walkers and pilgrims, extends from the capital, Lisbon, across the border to Santiago, and this guided walk takes in the most popular, beautiful and intriguing sections between these two classic European cities. You'll visit the must-see Portuguese cities of Coimbra and Porto, enjoying guided walks and port tastings, and from Porto you'll experience the best of the Central Way, which passes inland through historic towns and countryside, and the Coastal Way, which traces the Atlantic shoreline before heading inland. Crossing into Spain by ferry, we'll continue along the Atlantic coast and another section of the Camino, and visit a manor house near Pontevedra before arriving in the famed cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela.

Surging from the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira offers a temperate sub-tropical paradise perfect for year-round walking. One of Madeira's many charms is its infinite variety; each day's walking and every levada - the island's unique network of water channels - is different.

Portugal Walking Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Walking Portugal tours
Anonymous | Traveled in July
A great tour, with a variety of walks, (agree on level 3) taking in different sceneries, locations, gradients and types of paths. Got a good snapshot of Madeira. Adjustments made to suit the weather, but this was no issue . Nice to stay in different locations in the week, all good. Tour leader João was excellent, very friendly, informative, with the essential good sense of humour. He went over and above organising things for group members. Great food recommendations in the evenings too. Can recommend this tour.

A very interesting tour through a less well known part of the world. We were on four islands and saw the differences and similarities among them. Some of the walks were much harder than I anticipated from the tour description but it is fine to skip a walk if you are not up for it that day. A highlight was a soak in a hot mineral pool. Good food, comfortable hotels, friendly people. Our tour guide, Coco, was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour.

Overall I was really pleased with my trip. We had a few minor issues - our bags not being delivered to our hotel on our first walking day, the taxi driver of one of our scheduled transfers wanted to change the time of our morning transfer to a later time which did not suit us, and one of the hotels we stayed in I would not recommend.

Great holiday, good walks - some fairly demanding, some easy, and always wonderful views. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative and fun and introduced us to lots of cultural nuances that we would otherwise have missed. The accommodation was good but a bit 'corporate' - i.e. we could have been anywhere in the world, I would have preferred a more authentic and local feel. we were introduced to local cuisine, which was interesting, but not to everyone's taste! Overall very enjoyable and efficiently run.
