  • Douro Wine Region self-guided hike tour reviewer 1
    · October 7th, 2024
    Authentic Trails provided fantastic support throughout our hike. From beginning to end, Teresa was always responsive, helpful and prompt. This was particularly important as were doing a self guided tour and reliant on GPS - all went well, and Teresa was quick to respond to any questions. The accommodation was beautiful, restaurants at the hotels provided delicious options. Would recommend taking the option of picnic lunches or making sure you have plenty of snacks for the trek as the hikes included remote, authentic trails throughout the vineyards. The scenery was beautiful, true hikes through different terrain. Teresa and the team made sure the experience was authentic with a bit of luxury at the end of the day. Special thought was given to make our experience a special one.
