4.5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed on 19 Oct 2025 by Marie-Claude Davies
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The walks in the beautiful mediteranean landscapes of Spanish national parks
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Think about food in advance, as meals are not included in this trip and when you have walked 3 hours in the morning, you go back to your hotel in the countryside, nothing to eat but traditional late lunch or the sandwich you made for yourself at breakfast !
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not really. Benefit people, maybe, as as tourists we are much better off than the local s are both in Portugal and Spain
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Very good, if you enjoy walking, wines and discovering local history

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The whole package - very well thought out itinerary. Delivered walks, wine, and site-seeing.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
You're on the go. Walk pace leisurely but ground can be rocky/loose underfoot.
Be prepared for most commercial operations to close in the afternoon, with dinner unlikely to be offered before 20:00.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, in the sense of smaller local hotels, restaurants etc. being used.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
To help leave a lower carbon footprint we travel overland from Spain into Portugal using local bus providers and public transport where we can, including taking the train along the Duero valley between Pocinhos and Peso da Regua. We also take walking tours in Madrid and Porto so as to see the sights without the use of a vehicle.The tap water is both safe to drink and clean in Spain and Portugal and we encourage clients to take a reusable water bottle to fill up, rather than generating plastic bottle waste.
As a travel company we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key, and so all staff, Tour Leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage.
People
As we travel through the Ribera de Deruro wine region we visit of variety of bodegas - local wine producers with shops selling their wine. This provides the group with an insight into different wine making techniques from the producers themselves and the opportunity to taste different wines of the region. Along the way we also try local food, including Spanish tapas and a visit to a small farmhouse for homemade cheese.We visit and stay in small villages which are often away from the main tourist routes, this helps to provide income to more rural communities, keeping traditions going and spreads the economic benefits of our visit across the countries we journey through.
As a company we have valuable and longstanding partnerships with UK charities Toilet Twinning and Send a Cow, plus many smaller initiatives and projects around the world. We’re members of the UK travel industry body AITO because we believe it’s important to share our knowledge and experience, as well as learn from other operators.
