The Choose Your Route Story

It all started with our founder and guide, Simão Costa.

He has always very connected to international students, and in 2017, he started to make some trips around the Algarve and Southern Spain with some international friends.

At first, it was just a bit of fun, but he soon realised it was his true calling!

After two years of showing people amazing places and meeting travellers from all over the world, Simão decided to turn his passion into a proper company. In 2019, Choose Your Route was born!

His years of experience, a serious love for exploring, and a seriously infectious sense of fun are what make our tours so fantastic.

“Life is a journey
that gives you the liberty to
draw your own map, and
choose your own route”
