    We had the unfortunate experience of participating in a walking tour that was led by an extremely unprofessional tour leader, lydia. She led the walking tour of Faro, Portugal. May 5th to May 12 2024. From the outset, it was clear that she was disengaged and uninterested in her role. Rather than interacting with the group and providing insightful information about the area, she spent the majority of the time on her phone, neglecting her responsibilities. There was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm and effort on her part. We were not given any meaningful context or background about the sites we visited, which greatly diminished the overall experience. The tour felt more like a self-guided walk with a stranger who was constantly distracted, rather than an informative and engaging exploration led by a knowledgeable guide. Additionally, she insisted that local restaurants did not accept credit cards and collected cash from the group on the first night, quickly dashing to the register. It was obvious she had a deal going with these restaurants, which left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Out of the 8 restaurants we dinned at, only one location didn’t accept credit card. To make matters worse, she often talked behind tour participants’ backs, causing gossip and division within the group from day one. This behavior was highly unprofessional and created a negative atmosphere among the participants. It's disappointing when a tour leader fails to enhance the experience, especially when part of the attraction is learning about the history and significance of the places visited. Unfortunately, the tour leader, Lydia did not meet our expectations, and we would not recommend this tour leader to others based on this experience.

    The tour was good, the guide was somewhat distant primarily because the organization tour radar was anything but excellent. The TourRadar organization upset every single one of the members of this tour because of the lack of accommodation of the same requests from everybody on the tour. Tour radar refused to agree to provide transit from Faro to Segress because some of us arrived in Faro a day before the scheduled tour was to begin. I found that the majority of people on this trip bothered to radar enough that TourRadar gave in and gave people transit from Faro to Sagres. I guess I didn’t bother you enough because I took a train and then a bus to Sawgrass. This was not the fault of the guide. It was the fault of tour radar, being unnecessarily aware of the needs of the people who paid plenty for this tour. I very likely will not ever book with TourRadar again , so the trip was good but to radar failed miserably

    Good overall. This is not a once in a lifetime holiday. Mainly a chance to walk coastal paths and enjoy the coast when it is rather cold and wet to do so in the UK

    Craig

    Asked on March 19th, 2024

    Am interested in one of the trekking trips in Portugal (i.e. Walking in Portugal - Remote). Note average day is 10 to 15 km and takes 4 hours. It seems like a very slow paced? I can do 10km in less than 1.5 hour easily. Are the trails extended for those who can do longer?

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten March 2024

      The pace is calculated as an average so dependant on the group it may be quicker than this. As the trip is a centre based trip, we stay in the same hotel throughout, if you wish to walk further there may be opportunities to do so and the tour leader will be more than happy to assist.

  • D

    Dawn

    Asked on February 29th, 2024
