We booked this ride through our travel agent in New Zealand starting from just outside Lisbon doing the coastal ride. As the timing of other group rides didn't suit our schedule it was just us and a guide for the first 6 days to Porto. We found our guide great and the ride was very scenic and mostly easy riding only a few off road trails that should not have been included as they were over grown and impassable. We were glad to have had a guide in these situations as we would have had to work out an alternative route ourselves. After spending 3 days in Porto having a rest we self guided over 6 days to Santiago de Compostela. Again easy to follow GPS we only had a few issues on a day where we were taken through the middle of a very large city that was extremely hard to navigate and our longest days ride and the hilliest. At time we felt we were riding in someone's back yard but we had no trouble understanding when we were being told off. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Bikes were great, bag drop everyday was seamless, accommodation outstanding.
