“Walking in Europe with the timed tickets booked at release”
A walking operator whose main skill is administrative: Alhambra slots, Sagrada tickets and hut beds, booked the day they open.
Lisbon & the Algarve done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Good value for what's included.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Recommended.
Lisbon & the Algarve done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Would send friends their way.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Pena Palace runs timed entry and sells out in season, and the Sintra hill becomes a traffic jam from mid-morning. The 8 AM train and a prebooked slot are the whole trick.
