Karen Lutz and Susan Reinard | USA

"I cannot imaging any tour company providing better service than A2Z - the guides were superb & we were able to experience the local culture, natural environment and historic villages of Portugal knowing we were in really good hands. Our guides really went out of their way to ensure everyone in our group had a great time. I would book through A2Z again in a heartbeat!"

Karlene Brintzenhoff | USA

"We rode the Hybrid bikes from Porto to Óbidos with a2z travel in October. For the price you could not get a better tour. Breakfast, accommodation, bike rental,gps, panniers, cell phone and bike computers were all included. Most of the hotels and breakfasts were great and the bike route was very interesting along the ocean, through pine forests and fishing villages. The problems we had were dealt with promptly in particular assistance due to forest fires was outstanding! We would highly recommend this tour!"

Vivian Vandenhazel

"We enjoyed a self guided road bike tour from Porto to Óbidos, into the direction of Lisbon with A2Z. Perfectly organized, on good Trek Carbon bikes we easily made 60 -100 km per day - because of the wind from the back and no mountains - spectacular views, comfortable hotels and very friendly support. Recommended!"

Roland Ernst | Austria

"We have generally arranged and planned our own hiking trips in Europe over the past 15 years. We have had a few experiences recently with “self’guided” walking, with varied results.  Our experience with A2Z and the Schist villages is by far the best experience we have had. "

Don & Anne Mazer | Canada

"We just wanted to sent a heartfelt "Obrigada!!!!!" for such a wonderful trip last week. The hiking was stunning (especially Day 3); the logistics were smooth; the accommodations were lovely. A2Z gave us the structure we needed to make the most of our time out of the city and we are grateful.
Thank you again for helping us to see and experience your beautiful country. We will hold onto our memories of the Rota Vicentina for a lifetime!"

Elizabeth and Ethan | USA

"Queria agradecer a presteza no atendimento aqui no Rio de Janeiro da Ana Cecília e in loco com o Ricardo - já indiquei o passeio que fiz para um amigo. Queria registrar os pequenos cuidados que foram tomados. Quando chegamos ao ponto de partida, na van, tinha: água, barrinha de cereias e gél, sem contar a atenção do Ricardo. Só tenho a agradecer a experiência que tive com a A2Z....super recomendo a todos."

David Mattos | Brasil

"This tour was an amazing experience for me! Very good value for money!! Thank you Carlos for being so professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind, accommodating and gracious - everything one could wish for in a tour guide!!!"

Kit Fu | China

"My daugh­ter and I had a won­der­ful self-​guided trip from near Lis­bon through Alen­tejo and Algarve to Spain. A2Z laid out a won­der­ful route for us, and was very will­ing to adjust it to our par­tic­u­lar wishes. The equip­ment was top-​notch, and Tiago, our sup­port staff per­son, was very help­ful. We stayed at excel­lent, and very var­ied, places. We ate really well, some­times but not always in the hotels. Our lug­gage was moved each day with­out dif­fi­culty. all we had to do was ride — which was a chal­lenge, but excit­ing and grat­i­fy­ing. Alto­gether, a superb expe­ri­ence — what a great way to mark my daughter’s col­lege grad­u­a­tion with her!"

Richard Fried­man | USA

"I think your tours are excel­lent. Office/​administrative staff very good, atten­tive and respon­sive. Feel free to use my name as a ref­er­ence when­ever appro­pri­ate. I think you have a good prod­uct. All of my guests were very happy."

Karen Collins | USA

"I was given a once in a life­time oppor­tu­nity to explore the cul­ture, scenery, and food of a new coun­try in a way I never would have been able to with­out a tour like this."

Rebecca Fried­man | USA

"Our trip was excel­lent in every way; our guide Joanna Seco was truly excep­tional — knowl­edge­able, friendly, car­ing, and com­pe­tent. She pro­vided excel­lent sup­port, good com­pany, and was a plea­sure to be with, and took great care of us! Couldn’t ask for a bet­ter guide."

Linda Rudolph and Jim Bel­lows | USA

"A2Z gave us a good bik­ing expe­ri­ence in Por­tu­gal on their rout Porto-​Lisboa! The tour was well orga­nized from A2Z’s side!"

Anton Gjør­ven | Nor­way

"Uma expe­ri­en­cia inesquecível!"

Manoel de Car­valho | Brasil

"Pas­seio deli­cioso ao ritmo alen­te­jano, vagoroso e pací­fico, que tanto difere de nossa vida na cidade grande. Momento único para re-​carregar as bate­rias com exce­lentes energias!"

Daniela Boecker | Brasil

"Única, char­mosa e extrema­mente praze­rosa. Sabem unir o con­forto e bom gosto dos hotéis de charme a exigên­cia física dos per­cur­sos. Qual­i­dade top!"
