Exodus Does Premium Adventures

I couldn’t believe it when I stumbled on this tour. Walking and wine! Two things I love and a journey through the countryside. For months, I anticipated the trip and planned. A friend decided to join me. And what a trip it was! Wonderful in every way. Our tour leader Carla and her husband Fernando were the perfect hosts. Because they grew up & live in the region, I felt like we were getting a hyper local, personal experience. We were able to see their home through their eyes, as Carla told stories of history, culture, recipes, current community challenges. Every day was a different landscape -all beautiful- and the food & wine was fantastic. I don’t want to give away the little surprises that were along the way, but I can promise enjoyment of them. Most days, we had a walk in the morning (a few steep hills, but mostly flat, minimum 5 miles) followed by a lovely lunch, and then we had free time in the afternoon. I really liked that we only had 3 hotels for the week. I could settle in, and the views from the rooms were something else! Weather was hot in September. I highly recommend this tour if you want to really get to know the friendly, welcoming country of Portugal and make new friends along the way!

We had a fantastic tour with Luis and Teresa! They were both very attentive and had a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited. The walking was varied and the views were spectacular. Although the weather was not always the best, Luis and Teresa adapted the itinerary to ensure we could still have all the experiences promised. Would highly recommend.

The hiking in the Dolomites was awesome. One day was a little long 20km and not very interesting given the extra distance. But overall, I enjoyed all the hikes. The food is the hotel was disappointing. As a vegetarian, my choices were limited and the servings were quite small. One day we had 3/4 of a potatoes as our main. Another day it was a marinated vegetable. The advertised Tryrolian dinner was also not very good. Although the waiter was able to secure a chicken schnitzel and fries for those of us not eating beef.
Dinners were also too long after. Full day of hiking.
