Itinerary
Visit Mira de Aire Caves, the biggest in Portugal, discovered in 1947; The entrance to these caves is 300m above sea level, but inside the caves the depth drops to 180m. Its formation dates back to 150 million years ago, in the middle Jurassic, when dinosaurs populated this region, leaving their footprints on the ground, which you can see. The caves are illuminated with colored light effects that highlight the beauty of the shapes molded into stalagmites and stalactites. Along the route, the guide will draw your attention to the strange limestone shapes shaped over millions of years, such as the "Jellyfish", the "Martian" or the magnificent "Organ". The "Black River" cascades down to the "Great Lake" where the magical Sound and Light show takes place. In 2010, the Mira de Aire Caves were elected one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal. Lighting, stairs, treadmills, an elevator and ambient music make the descent into this hidden world an unforgettable experience.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the private tour we booked through Viator. We paid $600 for a tour, expecting a knowledgeable guide to enhance our experience. However, the gentleman who drove us around had only basic English skills and did not provide a proper tour. His contributions were limited to occasionally pointing at things, which we could barely understand. At each destination, he merely parked the car and pointed where to go. This service was equivalent to an Uber ride at four times the price. The entire experience was far from what was promised and certainly not worth the money. This experience has left a very negative impression, and we will never use Viator again. I strongly advise others to avoid this company as well.
It was fantastic. Viator never fails and Nazim was more than great. I always choose Viator for all my travel plans.
