We wanted to travel in Portugal, visiting the classic spots but also adding nature and less touristy places. We are glad we found the solution in Indie's self-guided package. It allowed us to visit Porto and the Douro Valley, and also enjoy the scenery and side roads of Serra da Estrela and Peneda-Geres National Park. The Portuguese people we met were very friendly, and overall we highly recommend both Portugal and this way of traveling.Show more

We traveled last month in mountainous Greece. Even though we have already had a few holidays in Greece before, we were surprised to discover completely different landscapes and experiences in the northern mountains. We drove deep into nature with the 4x4, and even though we do not have any off-road driving experience, iraklis the local expert helped us a lot espiescelly finding good tavernes and hiking trails.Show more
