4 of us went to Portugal for some active vacations and besides cycling we also booked a self-guided tour in the Southwest Coast with Live Love Hike. They met us at our hotel in Lisbon and transferred us to the coast to start our hike. We stayed in a great mix of rural hotels, all very comfortable, and hiked along this unexplored coastal area of Portugal. Some great scenic hikes along the rugged coast and clifftops of Arrifana, Carrapateira and Sagres with the ocean as backdrop. Beautiful beaches and coves, some of them almost deserted. Brilliant food, especially the fresh fish and seafood. Finishing the hike in a place like Sagres, right in the southern tip of the country is fantastic.

Great communication. Answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Our 7 day self guided trip (5 days of hiking) was both beautiful and challenging. The hike we did-Algarve Southwest Coast-is recommended for experienced hikers. You will encounter some steep ascents/descents so be sure to match hikes with your experience. Luis was extremely helpful and available when we had questions. The provided app with maps and restaurants/sights suggestions worked well. The hotels were excellent. Highly recommended!

If you are reading this review … then you must be considering … Live, Love, Hike … so research no further … you have already found the BEST company to hike with in Portugal!!!

We did (2) different 1 week hikes with LLH. Our first was in the Douro Valley and the second was a month later in the Algarve. Both were FANTASTIC! We were particularly blessed to have the same guide each time!!!

Sergio was an absolute ROCK STAR! He was a complete professional … extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, food, wine, vegetation, etc about each area. It was such a joy having someone make every decision for us. Leaving us with nothing to do but ENJOY!

He knew all the best restaurants, cafes & picnic stops. In the evenings he would recommend the specialties of each area and what wine to pair it with. We ALWAYS knew that we were in awesome hands with Sergio.

We upgraded to the premium accommodations and found them to be delightful. They were always welcomed after our long daily adventures. I can confidently say that LLH will offer you a wonderful opportunity to truly immerse yourself in whatever area of Portugal you choose to explore. And ask for Sergio if he’s available😉
