Die Gepäcktransfers klappten tadellos. Super Service, prima verlässlich, absolutes Vertrauen! Ich habe für vier Transfers von je zwei Gepäckstücken 60€ bezahlt. Der Preis ist angemessen, der Service hervorragend. Das Gepäck musste täglich 9 Uhr ins Foyer der Unterkunft gestellt werden und war pünktlich im nächsten Hotel, wenn ich eintraf. Einfach spitze. So konnte man die Unterkünfte frei wählen, auch 2 Nächte bleiben wie ich und alles wurde geregelt und das Gepäck dann abgeholt. Vicentinatransfers ist wunderbar! Immer wieder! The luggage transfers went flawlessly. Great service, extremely reliable, absolute confidence! I paid €60 for four transfers of two pieces of luggage each. The price is reasonable, the service excellent. The luggage had to be left in the foyer of the accommodation every day at 9am and was at the next hotel on time when I arrived. Simply great. You could choose your accommodation freely, even stay 2 nights like me and everything was organised and the luggage was then collected. Vicentinatransfers is wonderful! Again and again! O transporte das bagagens decorreu sem problemas. Serviço excelente, extremamente fiável, confiança absoluta! Paguei 60 euros por quatro transferências de duas bagagens cada. O preço é razoável, o serviço é excelente. A bagagem tinha de ser deixada no átrio do alojamento todos os dias às 9 horas e estava no hotel seguinte a horas quando cheguei. Simplesmente excelente. Pode escolher livremente o seu alojamento, mesmo ficar 2 noites como eu, e tudo foi organizado e as bagagens foram recolhidas. A Vicentinatransfers é maravilhosa! Mais uma vez e sempre!

Absolute Topleistung! Vor 10 Jahren hatte ich einen Gepäcktransport mit lokalen Taxifahrern in Griechenland aufgebaut (www.e4-peloponnes.info) der noch heute funktioniert, doch was das Rota Vincentina-Team macht - Hut ab und GRATULATION. Danke, danke, danke!!!

This was a great service - we went from worrying 'will it work?' on day 1 to knowing 7 days later that our case had faithfully followed us along the trail. For those who are Terry Pratchett fans, it was like owning The Luggage!

MYA

Greece

José and his team were absolute lifesavers for me this trip. I can't carry my bag while walking for long periods cause of my back so their bag transfer service was exactly what I needed. It was such a nice feeling to arrive at your next accommodation and find your bag already waiting for you there after a loooong day of walking. I enjoyed the trail more cause I could stop more often and take in the views cause the sandy trails can be challenging. Plus, they pretty much know everybody along the route (and the trails themselves) which just goes to show just how local this small business is and worth supporting. Thanks again for all your help guys!

Everything went smoothly, and even dropped off our bag at a hotel that was not listed. I will use this service again in May :)

Perfect service! Thank you very much! Our specific group-settings were very well managed and now everyone from Porto Covo to Odeciexe knows Linda with 9/11 luggage items 😄 Can't wait to go next part of Fisherman's!

This is a great company and service. Their communication was always very polite and timely and most importantly, when we arrived at the destination after hiking for 5 or 6 hours, our luggage was waiting for us, in perfect condition, every single day. Brilliant. Can't thank them enough, as without them, it would have been so much more of a challenge.

Greg

Netherlands

We walked the Fishermans Trail and used Vicentina Transfers to deliver our luggage from hotel to hotel. Everything was delivered every day on time and in perfect condition. They even-carried sunglasses from one destination to another that my wife had left behind. Great service!

Angelina &Enzo

Wir sind von Porto Covo bis Sagres auf der Rota Vicentina gewandert ohne Gepäck. Die Beste Entscheidung. Eine unserer Unterkünfte hatte ich nach einer Adresse gefragt und diese haben mir den Dienst von Vicentina Transfer empfohlen. Sie hätten nur Gutes gehört. Ich hatte einen ähnlichen Service schon auf dem Jakobsweg und war so dankbar dass es ihn auch auf diesem Fernwanderweg auch gibt. Unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht enttäuscht. Unser Gepäck wartete immer in den gewählten Unterkünfte auf uns. Auch längere Stops sind kein Problem. Die Buchung erfolgt sehr einfach und schnell. Danach eine Bestätigungs-Email und schon kann man unbeschwert losgehen ohne den eigenen Rücken unnötig zu belasten. Vielen Dank dafür. Ein wirklich genialer Dienst und durchwegs positve Erfahrung.

Dana

This was a godsend!!! Hiking this majestic incredible trail without luggage was freedom!! I was able to enjoy myself much more through the sand and sun without the burden of a backpack. The service was perfect and getting to our new destination with our bags waiting was magic! I cannot say enough about doing this hike this way! Be free!!

Bernd

Germany

Thank you so much for the excellent service ! We made our hike with 12 stops, some at quite remote locations and we included some days of rest in our hike calendar. The bagage was always where we needed it and when we needed it. Hiking with just water and towel is so much enjoyable that I recommend this service to every hiker on Vicentina

Can not recommend Rota Vicentina luggage transfers more. They made our hike so effortless and stress-free. My partner and I both got sick and had to adjust our plans and Rota Vicentina Luggage Transfers were so flexible and timely in their responses to us. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service. Thank you!

Wir sind vom 30.05.2023 bis zum 04.06.2023 von Porto Covo bis Odeceixe gewandert. Der Transport des Gepäcks hat hervorragend geklappt. Er ist individuell planbar, so dass man auch mal länger an einem Ort verweilen kann, bevor es weiter geht. Dieser Service ist nur zu empfehlen. Grüße Jana und Jörg

Il trasferimento dei bagagli era una delle nostre preoccupazioni all'inizio del trekking. Tutto risolto con grande efficienza dalla Vicentina transfer. Grazie e complimenti!

We hiked in March 2023 11 days on the fishermen's path, in between 2 days break, overall a wonderful vacation in fantastic scenery. The booking of the luggage transport was easy to manage. Our suitcase was reliably transported from accommodation to accommodation. Thank you for the super service. We are happy to recommend it.

Maureen

Netherlands, Amsterdam

Thank you for your flawless service. Always with care and always on time. Vicentina Transfers is so well organised, even my booking made the evening before we started the hike was replied immediately and professionally. And it's affordable too. For me it felt a bit like there were invisible fairies looking after our luggage. Thanks again, I will recommend your service to anyone!

Met een gerust hart even een pauze nemen, want we weten zeker dat onze bagage straks op ons staat te wachten. Jose’s organisatie is betrouwbaar, zeer communicatief en klantgericht. Én hartstikke aardig! Zo kun je maximaal genieten van de Rota Vicentina. Dit leest als een marketingtekst, maar het is gewoon écht zo. Thx Jose en collega’s, you are worth the money.

Bedankt voor de vlekkeloze transporten van één van onze rugzakken. Gedurende 6 dagen maakten we gebruik van jullie diensten. Het was de eerste keer voor ons, een moeilijk moment om bagage achter te laten. Maar alles was top geregeld! Ook jullie website was heel gebruiksvriendelijk! Bravo! Een aanrader.

Beat & Hermina

We have done the rota vicentina early April 2023. Our 2 small luggages have been transported over 12 legs (historical & fisherman). We can very much recommend the transfer done by Vicentina. They have realy done a great job. Thanks to the whole team.

Helen and Roderick

We have just completed the second half of the Rota Vicentina, having started it last year. We once again used Vicentina Transfers to take our luggage between overnight stops and once again they have been efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

We had 7 transfers. Everything worked very well. Even a unexpected change of our hotel was no problem. A very good and reliable service for a good price. Luggage is handled with care. I will book Vicentina Transfers again and can highly reconmend the service

Jenny Gu

Our hiking trip is so enjoyable with the luggages being taken cared of everyday. And then I left my jacket in Odeceixe. The gentleman of Vicentina transfer went twice to collect it and delivered it with my luggage to Sagres! They are the trail angels of Rota Vicentina! Thank you so much!

Michael Evans

United States

Wow! What a great service. We started the Rota Vicentina with too much in our rucksacks. After 3 days we signed up with Vicentina Transfers and it made a the trek soooo much better. Every day the bag got picked up from out hotel and was waiting for us when we got to the next hotel. Everything went perfectly. Highly recommend!!!

Sheila Evans

The transfer service was perfect - reliable and with no fuss - for all of out two week trek. Very good value. It allowed us to extend our lifetime hobby of walking long distance trails into our older age. Thank you!

Giulia

Belgium/Italy

Grande professionalità e un servizio impeccabile! Ogni giorno abbiamo lasciato lo zaino dove indicato e l'abbiamo regolarmente trovato il pomeriggio nelle abitazioni che avevamo scelto. Non c'è stato il minimo problema, tutto veramente perfetto. Grazie per aver contribuito a rendere unico il nostro Cammino!

Sharon

Canada

Such an excellent, reliable service. We hiked 12 days Porto Covo to Lagos…our bags were at our destination before we were ☺️ We generally booked our accommodation a day or two ahead. It was easy to let Vicentina know our accommodation plans as we made them and they took it from there. Highly recommend.

Steph

U.K

I can highly recommend Vicentina Transfers. They transferred our luggage on the Rota Vicentina each day for 5 days. Our bags were collected every morning and delivered to our next destination/accomodation as arranged. All we needed to provide was the name of the accommodation, leave the bag out each morning snd it was awaiting our arrival each day. All correspondence with this company was prompt and informative. The staff we met were friendly, helpful and courteous. The price we paid was excellent considering the logistics involved. The whole process made our trip hassle free and enabled us to travel light during the day on the trail.

Oktober 2022: 15 Transfers/ 2 Gepäckstücke (von Lagos via Sagres, Porto Covo bis nach Santigao do Cacem). Der Gepäcktransport von José hat super geklappt, obwohl wir zwischendurch auch Ruhetage eingeplant hatten. Wir können Vicentina Transfers ohne Vorbehalt empfehlen. Obwohl wir von Süden nach Norden gewandert sind, waren die Koffer bei unserer Ankunft meistens schon im Hotel.

Philipp

Germany

Those guys are offering a fantastic super reliable service. Had twice a situation in which they performed outstanding service to bring my luggage to a remote place and in the other situation they called me as I forgot to book a single transfer after a break. Absolutely recommended. Great help to make the fisherman trail an awesome and fantastic experience.

Thank you for making the experience of transporting our bags so easy! Super responsive, adapting to changes that hotel operators threw in along the way, bags were always there at the end of the day!

Ganz lieben Dank 😊 es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Mein Gepäck hat in jeder Unterkunft schon auf mich gewartet. Ich kann diesen Service von José uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

I just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic service on our recent hike along the Rota Vicentina. It truly made a huge difference to loving the hiking each day whilst our bags so reliably turned up at our place to stay - not a single problem! I'm actually a travel blogger so I thought you might enjoy seeing my write up of the trip - including a glowing review of your service! https://fireandwide.com/slow-travel-in-portugal-hiking-the-rota-vicentina/

Grazie per l'ottimo servizio. Puntualmente abbiamo trovato gli zaini all'arrivo quasi ai piedi del letto. Le nostre spalle alleggerite dal peso degli zaini ci han fato godere appieno della bellezza del cammino. Si tratta del nostro dodicesimo cammino e passati da diversi anni i settanta, con questo ottimo servizio, si è rinvigorita la voglia di continuare "a camminare". Un piccolo disguido risolto con competenza e professionalità anteponendo a tutto l'interesse del camminatore/pellegrino. Bravi!!!

Violette Schnetz

Germany

I wanted to thank you and the staff from the transfers for being so flexible and customer friendly. I don't have a credit card so i could pay with cash and give the information with the app. That was really super and such a big plus for my hiking trip. I was not always in time with the info, so i wanted to say sorry for that. Being so late was because i decided when i arrived what to do the next day. I had a small injury, and this service made this possible for me. So thanks again and keep up the good service. 
Kind regards

Shannon

I just wanted to send a message to truly thank you for this wonderful service you offer. I came to Portugal to hike the Fisherman’s trail (Porto Covo —> Sagres). I had all intentions of carrying my pack on my back, but after three days I had terrible blisters and my back was hurting so much. If it weren’t for you guys there is no way I could have finished the hike. Muito obrigada pela tua ajuda, do fundo do coração.
