5.00This tour was a chance to see the beautiful flora of Portugal and be amazed by the cascading waterfalls and fast-flowing streams. While it took over an hour to arrive at the National Park, it was worth it. The scenery was stunning. Our guide gave many history lessons along the way. The lunch stop in a quaint village offered traditional Portuguese food.
We had a really enjoyable...

5.00Taking this tour was one of the best things we did in Porto! The national park is beautiful and vast, you can definitely spend several days there. Ricardo was an awesome guide - super fun and relaxed. It was like travelling with another friend 😊 We ate like kings at a very nice and modern restaurant. Ricardo adapted the tour to our needs and likes and we are leaving with precious memories of swimming in a waterfall !! Don't think twice before booking this tour, it will definitely be worth it 😉
Best experience from our first visit to Portugal

5.00This has been the best experience and memory my family is taking with us back to UK from our visit to Portugal this time. Ricardo is an exceptional guide and was so pleasant to have a trip with. Ricardo picked us up from our accommodation in the morning and after about an hour drive we were entering the beautiful national park. Ricardo led us through a lovely, picturesque walking path that once Roman soldiers stepped through and we could appreciate the majestic view of rocky mountains and the lake. We had great traditional Portuguese lunch at a local restaurant and drove along a winding mountain road - which itself was an adventure - to get to a high point to enjoy a spectacular view. My children were looking forward to having a dip in a lagoon under a waterfall and the water was crystal clear - you can see fresh water fish swimming next to you - and we certainly had a great time. Ricardo took us to another hidden pool where we enjoyed quietness - we were the only people. Muito obrigado, Ricardo, for arranging such a great day for my family.
