Hiking or Walking Tours in Portugal

If you want guided walking with a small group, try HF Holidays:

https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/destinations/europe/portugal/

For self-guided, try Mac's Adventures:

http://www.macsadventure.com/walking-holiday/europe-walking-holidays/portugal/

Both companies are based in the UK and are well-regarded.

Hi.

I'm not a hiker so have no experience with these companies, but at least you can look at some of the itineraries presented:

October would be a wonderful time to walk the Rota Vicentina, I did parts of the walk in March of this year.
Very easy to plan using the information on the site. Absolutely beautiful coastal walks.
I did not even consider using a tour. I stayed 2-3 nights in 3 places along the route, starting from the most southerly in my plan, Arrifana, then Odeciexe, then Vila Nova Milfontes.

Did not need to rent a car, the local taxis are wonderful. I would walk to a point 15-20 KM and call a taxi to take me back to my base. About 1 euro per KM, which made it cheaper than a car without the bother.
Lots of lovely accommodations very reasonable in cost.

One of the best known UK operators running walking holidays in Europe is inntravel.co.uk. They have lots of Portuguese walking holiday options in October.

I would expect a UK operator to offer ATOL protection (for if the company goes bust). Inntravel do, as do Macs Tours as previously mentioned, although I haven't heard of them. HF Holidays don't have this protection.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out.
