How Our Self-Guided Tours in Portugal Work

Luggage transfers are optionally included and you have access to a cellphone we provide for local support and emergency services. Our self guided tours in Portugal offer the same quality, style and comfort as our guided tours, with the main difference being that you set your own pace, your own hours and your own rules.

It is important to understand that a self-guided tours in Portugal is not the same as a self-contained tour, because in self-guided hiking and cycling tours the routes, accommodation and luggage transfers are all arranged for you, while on a self-contained tour you are responsible for everything including planning routes, booking hotels and carrying your own gear. On a self-guided tour we take care of all the arrangements and make it as comfortable as possible, with every tour including a detailed book covering each stage with maps, points of interest, recommended places to eat, climbing and distance details, water points and track suggestions. Although you are technically on your own, we will support you 24 hours a day for anything you need, and our team will always be ready to assist with bad weather, illness, bike issues or any unexpected situation.
