William Wade30 Noviembre 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. This past September Helder Cerejo from The Way Tours put together an outstanding bike trip for 10 of us. The route from Sintra Portugal to Santiago Spain that was planned and pre- ridden by Helder himself, following the Portugal Camino, was challenging and breathtakingly scenic. Helder did an exceptional job in supporting the ride while allowing us to explore and ride at our own pace. He was personable and flexible making everyone feel comfortable. Helder was very particular with following our requests, be it booking quaint and unique accommodations, to renting quality gravel bicycles. The entire trip was a once in a life time experience. This was our second experience with The Way Tours and as previously, they did not disappoint. kristen S google22 Noviembre 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a fantastic almost 2 week bicycle trip through Portugal with The Way Tours in August 2024. Our tour director Helder was wonderful. He was kind, funny, organized, at every stop, was where he said he would be, had food and water for us along the way. When it rained, he picked me up in the van. He had a well organized itinerary on paper and digital. He did two city walking tours for us as well. The bikes they had for us were very good. We did a road/gravel trip and the bikes handled everything well. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. I have too many great pictures to upload.

It was an amazing experience. I love hiking the Camino — even more not having to worry about anything because everything was so well planned. Our guide Helder took really good care of every single detail, allowing me to just focus on hiking and enjoying the beautiful landscape.
