This was an amazing experience. The hike itself is very manageable and the views are breathtaking. Our guide Ricardo was very knowledgeable and personable.
An amazing hiking tour of the Seven Hanging Valleys. Our guide, Ricardo was very knowledgeable and friendly. This tour is a great way to fill out some time here in Albufeira, giving you the opportunity to explore the area and learn a bit about it’s geography and history with lots of opportunities for photos.
Super hike had with the guide Ricardo, trip was very doable with our family with children 5 and 9 years old. Secret brought was highly recommended. Guide Ricardo not only explained the 7 valleys but also on the way there and back and about Portugal. Overall therefore highly recommended!
Excellent tour. Very informative. Learned and saw more than if we had done this hike on our own. The pace was perfect.

You can tell he genuinely cares about giving hikers a great experience. Highly recommend this hike with Ricardo if you’re looking for stunning scenery and a fantastic guide!
Ricardo was an excellent guide on this excursion and a conscientious driver which we appreciated. This tour exceeded my expectations, stunning views, knowledgeable explanations and blue skies and sunshine. The hike was approximately 5 km in total.
It was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We spent a fabulous five hours together, hiking, taking pictures, and learning about the caves.
This was a wonderful 5 km hike along the coast with beautiful scenery and narrative from our guide about the area and sights we were seeing. It was a great experience to share with the family. The small group size made it easy to navigate the paths and for everyone to get an opportunity to see everything.
Tour very well organized, especially for the fact that they brought you back to the starting point, not being a loop hike, with their own vehicle. Our guide was empathetic, competent, attentive, very exhaustive, pointing out details or areas that could have been lost independently. Satisfied with the experience.
Three of us (me, my sister and my niece) booked the Seven Hanging Valleys tour and we loved it. Ricardo, our tour guide, was excellent, the scenery was beautiful and the group we joined was great. I can’t recommend this trip and the company enough. Well worth the money.
