Itinerary
Ponte da Misarela is a magical place that, according to legend, was built by the Devil. We will visit the bridge in a quiet, short walk of about 30 minutes.
Fecha das Barjas, also known as Tahiti Waterfall, is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Peneda-Gerês National Park
The Pedra Bela Viewpoint is probably the best known in Gerês due to the great scenic beauty that can be seen from there, an authentic natural amphitheatre with the bridges of the Caldo River and the Caniçada reservoir as a backdrop.
On a nice and calm walk of about 20 minutes, we will visit one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal and Spain.
The "granaries of Soajo" comprise a communal threshing floor made up of 24 granaries, some of which are still in use; all are made of stone and set on a granite outcrop. The oldest dates from 1782. Lunch at a regional restaurant
Come and discover the unique beauty of the oldest village in Portugal, which hides deep roots and ancient legends. We will cross the Roman bridge to visit the International Garden Festival area and make a brief visit to the historic area of the village in a journey of about an hour.
Next to Lindoso Castle, there is a community threshing floor and a set of 50 granaries from the 17th and 18th centuries. Our visit to the granaries and Lindoso Castle will last about 30 minutes.

Highly recommend this. It's a very long day we were with Manuel for 12 hours. Hiking peneda geres and then visiting multiple cafes, cities and sites. He accommodated everything we wanted to see and do. If you have the time you won't be disappointed.
Hello Beth and Richard.t was a pleasure for me to welcome you to my region. It was undoubtedly a beautiful day. I hope you come back. All the best to you.
Everything worked great, we were picked up on time in front of the hotel. It was a very nice tour and I even saw the wild horses. We were able to taste some, like figs and orange. It has been explained to us a lot and it has greatly enriched our holiday. One or the other picture was also taken by us. Thank you, say Danny and Sven
Es war mir eine Freude, Sven und Daniela zu begleiten... Vielen Dank für euren Kommentar. Alles Gute und auf Wiedersehen.
Manuel was amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and generous with his time and sharing about Portugal. The itinerary for the day was varied, interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, from start to finish. The electric car and driver made for a comfortable ride over some pretty interesting but hilly and windy terrain. We (two kiwi sisters touring) would highly recommend Manuel, Vidaboa Tours and our trip today. We ate delicious local food for lunch ( we recommend you take up this option), espressos along the way.
Hi, "kiwi sisters"...Thank you very much for your review. I hope you come back again, sometime, for another wonderful day, somewhere here in this beautiful country.
