Frank Abetti review 28 Sep 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The Douro Valley because of the stunning views of the geometric vineyards, the Autumn colors and the harvesting of the black grapes. Also great choice of hiking paths.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Coffee in most hotels was not great, so consider going to a local cafe-bar; also consider doing the Caminho backwards as you meet more pilgrims that way. ??3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, because we support local businesses through our “tourism,” which was low impact on the environment because we were walking.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent plus, because everything was perfectly organized and executed by the operator. Both Ines and Paolo were great.Anne Holmbjerg review 12 Aug 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We really enjoyed the whole vacation. Mostly the walks in the National Park, but in generel the varied content of the vacation was very satisfying.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Avoid the month of July, if you do not like to walk in very jot climate. For us it was not a problem, and we did not feel uncomfortable, but more heat-sensitive people maybe would prefer e.g. June or September.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not in particular, but not the contrary either.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
A really nice trip, and well organized.Holiday Reviews
