    The trip to Montenegro was wonderful, especially the off-road routes and the walks around the lakes. The food was a bit disappointing, but overall it is highly recommended

    We wanted to travel in Portugal, visiting the classic spots but also adding nature and less touristy places. We are glad we found the solution in Indie's self-guided package. It allowed us to visit Porto and the Douro Valley, and also enjoy the scenery and side roads of Serra da Estrela and Peneda-Geres National Park. The Portuguese people we met were very friendly, and overall we highly recommend both Portugal and this way of traveling.
