    Hi Therese, Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and generous review! ???? We’re truly sorry that your trip started with the challenges of lost luggage and illness. At the same time, it means a lot to hear that, even in this “worst-case scenario,” you felt our team went above and beyond to make your experience as positive and memorable as possible. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the hotels, meals, route planning, and the support from our team throughout the trip. Feedback like yours reinforces our commitment to providing authentic, personalized experiences where every detail matters especially for solo travelers. We hope you’ll have the chance to return to Portugal soon and ride the routes you missed this time. Perhaps during a quieter, equally magical season! ✨ Thank you again for your trust and for sharing this wonderful review. Warm regards, Teresa de Oliveira Authentic Trails Team
