GUIDED TOURS

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.

So glad we picked them to guide us on our family’s first walking tour in Portugal. Daniel was not only a foodie like us, it was like having a friend hike with us and help us get acquainted with the Portuguese culture and people. His easygoing nature and knowledge of the hikes made it so enjoyable, from the picnic with wine, sausages and bread to the delicious dinner at a winery. If you want a more intimate hiking experience without the quirks of too many strangers, I highly recommend them for a hiking tour!
