Add your own reviewUnforgettable time!
I enjoyed the experience with wonderful scenery, and relaxing walks around glorious fields, and vineyards. The hotels are also comfortable with good views of lakes and nature. Good food and delicious wines and very kind staff.
The group was also very nice, we shared and laughed all the time.
Most Inspirational Moment
I enjoyed every second, of the fresh, healthy, and renewing environment.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Luis Coelho and Teresa, our trip guides, were very kind, they always made sure that we were all well. Good teamwork.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It was my first experience with Exodus and I highly recommend it.
Great holiday in beautiful surroundings with excellent leaders
Five days of short walks in fascinating and varied countryside, brought to life by our great leaders Lina and Carla, with instructive wine tastings, followed by a day and a half in vibrant Porto.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too difficult to select from so many great experiences, but the wild flowers and lack of crowds in the Basto region, and three memorable lunches including Carla's home-made picnic, will stay in our memories for a long time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Lina was very well-informed and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our first three days despite some personal difficulties. Nothing was too much trouble for Carla and her knowledge of and love for her home district of Basto were an inspiration.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Late April is a great time to do this trip as the wild flowers are stunning at this time of year, but the walks are very definitely "leisurely". Note that it is, in fact, very easy to get to the start hotel in Regua by direct train from Porto.

Very knowledgeable trip leader. She took great care of us.
Most Inspirational Moment
The dinner at the restaurant in that way out place. Picnic lunches. The hike through the forest. The lunch at the winery on day 2. Swimming in the pools. The stars and the sunrise on the first night.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Lina is a fantastic group leader. So knowledgeable of everything.

From the moment we came through from baggage collection and saw the Exodus sign being held up we were looked after by Lina and Antonio, nothing was too much trouble
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many but Quinta do Tedo was special as was Quinta das Escomeiras and the wonderful surprise 'picnic' after the four village walk - brilliant
Thoughts on Group Leader
One of the best - nothing was too much trouble and full of local knowledge

Lina and Antonio were fabulous guides and drivers with a wealth of knowledge and if they didn’t know an answer or translation they would soon get back to you with an answer.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first vineyard that we visited was interesting and the guide we had was knowledgeable and very funny, the wine tasting was really good and the food that they had prepared for us was truly delicious. The walk around this vineyard was beautiful and some of us glimpsed a Kingfisher. Lina and Antonio were fantastic guides, very caring and couldn't do enough for us, even to the extent of pruning back brambles so that no-one got scratched or fell over during the walks. Carla's picnic was amazing, fantastic cook.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We could not rate them any higher, really lovely, sincere people who clearly love their country and environment. Knowledgeable, caring for the whole group. Great drivers, they organised fantastic and memorable lunches, 2 of which Carla prepared the food which was devoured by the group and enjoyed by all. If we had to say any more please keep employing guides of this standard.

The organisation and support from the leaders Carla and Fernando was superb, could not be faulted, they went over and above and made the trip. The locations were very well chosen and an excellent mix of walking, wine and port tasting and culture and information.
Most Inspirational Moment
The mountains, the walks, the group and the leaders
Thoughts on Group Leader
Carla was excellent. She was very well informed in all areas of the history and local knowledge of the area, fauna and flora etc. She worked tirelessly to make all members of group feel included and supported. Travelling as a single person, albeit with friends, this was very important to me. We felt very much part of the Costa family, and Carla went over and above to make our trip the best it could be. Her communication skills and English were very good indeed. If all leaders were this good I would travel with Exodus again. She is a valuable asset to your company.

Quality of local reps, and their caring attitude to travelers. This trip they were exemplary. Overall quality of the trip was excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Just a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, with good company and two of the best reps we have ever encountered. You are so lucky to have such two dedicated people in Carla and Hernando
Thoughts on Group Leader
She was a delight in every aspect, caring and worked over and beyond the call of duty - you are priviledged to have her working for you. The videos, and records she hade as a PDF of the whole holiday, and the setting up of the WhatsApp group was amazing. Asere were late arriving, she waited up for us and had arranged that we had food served in the restaurant, at a table with waiter service. What a lady!! Her local knowledge was amazing. Hernando, the other driver was in the same category.

We have been on 9 Exodus travels and enjoyed each one. They have all been quite different but the one we have just done has been especially good.
Most Inspirational Moment
Each day brought different aspects of the region which is not on the general tourist trail so we had time to take in all the views and learn a great deal about wine.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Carla was the best Leader we have had with Exodus though others may have been close. She was caring to all in the group. She knew so much about the area and was passionate about it. All our questions were answered with a very full explanation. She gave everything to the group and she made sure we had fun as well. On our return she sent a video with photos of each day of the trip and notes of each day so we have a permanent reminder of the holiday and our fellow travelers.

Carla and Fernando were amazing guides. They went above and beyond- providing wonderful food, sending great photos and delivering a first class, informative service.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Carla and Fernando. A lovely couple who really cared about their environment, their country and, of course, us!
