The Walk of the Gods and the people I met on this tour was amazing. This was a wonderful trip, the hotel was nice, larger than I thought and the quality of the rooms seemed to differ quite a bit.

Despite having a mobility problem, I managed 3 out of 4 walks. They were amazing and Rudy was invaluable to give me the confidence to carry on even on some quite hard terrain. The hotel turned out to be experts in gluten free cooking and so the other perfect half was the ability to eat enough food to fuel the walking. Also the food was delicious. And the staff were lovely.

Walking from Correggia to Locorotondo, which turned out to be about 15 miles, we loved being in the countryside and seeing the trullis, flowers, olive groves and local people. Also the city of Matera, Ostuni and realizing how long this area has been occupied by homo sapiens.

No one particular part because the whole holiday was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

It was a very interesting and varied holiday with the contrasts of Porto, Atlantic coast, villages, Obidos and ending up in Lisbon.
