Most Inspirational Moment
Beautiful scenery and the Portuguese are very kind and friendly.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great but didn’t understand Group process.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Even if you are a friendly person you may find yourself excluded if the group is cliquey.
We’re grateful for Cathy for taking the time to leave a review, and are glad to read that she enjoyed cycling across beautiful Portugal. However, we are sorry to hear that she didn’t feel her group gelled as well as she had hoped; while from our experience our trips attract like-minded, sociable travellers who bond during the time they spend together, and we find that Cathy’s experience is a rare one, we do regret that she felt this way during the trip. We would like to mention that on all our trips, our groups go out to dinner together on most nights accompanied by their tour leader, though on some days we leave the evening free for travellers to make their own arrangements if they like, with their leader’s help. We are confident that Cathy would have a much more positive trip if she travelled with us again, but we have taken her comments on board, and have spoken to our local team to remind our leaders to facilitate a sociable atmosphere within our groups as best they can, and to provide support if necessary.
