A lovely day exploring the mountains and woods. About an hour and a half drive from Porto, we explored this protected area with a half dozen stops. Total walking distance was around 5 miles and varies from a short walk to an overlook, to about a mile and a half to a waterfall. Thelma was a great guide and adjusted stops to meet our interests.

Telma was our guide and catered the trip to our wishes. It was a beautiful hike to waterfalls, expansive vistas better than any postcard or travel blog. Lunch was the biggest spread I’ve ever seen. Appetizer plate with many Portuguese delicacies and main course of rice, potatoes, beef and chicken. Delicious dessert of coconut pie and espresso. Oh yeah of course the obligatory delicious wine. The wolf trap was awesome and the day perfect. Do not hesitate to book a small intimate tour with this company.

I booked this tour because a friend of mine had already done a few tours with this company and recommended it to me. I’m really glad I went! The landscapes in Gerês were beautiful and the waterfalls were amazing. I went in winter and it was already stunning, so I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in spring or summer. Everything was very well organized, the guide was friendly, and the restaurant was incredible with amazing quality food. I would definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful time exploring parts of Peneda-Gerês National Park. The park is an under advertised national treasure that is not described in many tour books. After our one day tour we are grateful to have spent time far from the madding tourist crowds of Porto and Lisbon. The park is tranquil, spectacular, and, literally a breath of fresh air. We visited a lakeside beach, waterfalls, mountain top vistas and small villages. Our excellent tour guide, Miguel, was personable and erudite in all things Portugal, from geography, industry, economics, history, politics, and the daily lives of residents in the park. He skillfully accommodated one of us with some mobility limitations making every effort to share the rugged experience safely. Our tour ended with lunch in a charming, family-operated restaurant in a small village. We were told that the food was traditional Portuguese and it was delicious. During our drive back to Porto Miguel offered to drop us off at Crystal Palace Gardens (an enjoyable way to end the day) a point that differed from where we were picked up. We certainly recommend this tour and guide to anyone who wishes to have a broader appreciation of Portugal.
Hello Leslie! Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review. We're delighted to know that you had such an enriching day discovering the natural beauty and authenticity of Peneda-Gerês National Park. Miguel will be very happy to hear your kind words — he’s truly passionate about sharing the hidden gems of Portugal and always goes the extra mile to make sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the experience to the fullest. We'll be happy to have you again any time!
Our day trip with Miguel was absolutely fantastic! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about his city. He brought Porto’s history to life with great story telling, showed us both iconic sights and recommended hidden local gems like Conga, which was the best Bifana my Wife and I has ever had. We were very fortunate to have Miguel all to ourselves, which made the experience relaxed and personal! Cheers to an amazing tour I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a great day trip!
Hello Howard! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly happy to know you enjoyed your day with Miguel — he’ll be delighted to hear your kind words! It’s great to see that his passion, knowledge, and storytelling made your experience in Porto so special, and that you even discovered some hidden gems along the way. We’re thrilled that you had such a personal and relaxed day exploring with him. We'll be happy to have you again any time!
We had an unforgettable trip with João that we will be talking about anytime we talk about Portugal. The area is absolutely stunning with crystal clear waters, wild horses, beautiful villages with great lunch and we can’t forget the breathtaking views. Also, Joao was the best guide we could have possibly asked for. We were in Portugal for 8 days and this was the highlight. If you get a chance to go on any of their tours I wouldn’t hesitate. Next time we go to Portugal the first thing we will do is plan another trip with them. Obrigado!
Hello Brian! Thank you very much for your feedback. Your opinion is really important to us :) We’re thrilled to hear that your experience in Gerês with João left such a lasting impression! The natural beauty of the region, the wild horses, crystal-clear waters, and traditional lunch truly make for a special day — and we’re so happy you felt that magic. It means a lot to us that this was the highlight of your 8-day trip in Portugal! João will be delighted to hear your kind words. We’ll be here to welcome you again anytime you come back — and we hope it’s soon. Obrigado!
