ブサコの森と宮殿を巡る冒険 - コインブラ

An unmissable stop for both the place and the adventure. The meeting point is decided the day before and our guide Sergio was punctual. He took us to taste the thermal water of Luso first, telling us stories related to the nature of the place. Afterward, we ventured into the park, describing its history and talking about the plants, flowers, and animals that populate the park. It was a pleasant 4 hours that Sergio knew how to enhance... Excellent English, friendly and capable of making you immerse yourself in nature (a complete guide). For an outfit, comfortable shoes are just fine; the park is kept impeccably, while still preserving the naturalness of the place.

Sergio was a great host for the trip. The walk through the forest and the Palace hotel grounds was lovely, great historical background information and peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend if you love nature and want a break from busy tourist areas.

Sergio was great. Picked us up on time. We had a great time wandering in the woods and the old Palace hotel grounds. He was friendly and talkative. Great knowledge of the city and area. He even sent us the pictures he took to go along with our own. Highly recommended if you like walking in peaceful nature areas.

This tour with Sergio was amazing! It was a private tour with just my husband and myself with Sergio. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the forest, even the history of coimbra. We learned a lot and had an amazing time. He made sure when we walked the forest that we saw all the highlights. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

My 10-year old son and I took the train up to Coimbra from Lisbon, and had a wonderful day exploring Buçaco National Forest with our guide Sergio. Sergio provided very clear instructions on where to meet him near the train station, and the drive to Buçaco was an enjoyable windy trip through the countryside. Sergio provided info about the local economy and ecosystem as we drove. Throughout the entire afternoon, Sergio was wonderful with my very inquisitive, nature-loving son - I'd highly recommend him as a guide for any families interested in this adventure. We explored natural springs, man-made ruins, the lush and peaceful forest, and finally wrapped up at the Palace of Buçaco and its surrounding features. My son and I learned a lot about Portuguese flora, and the history of this unique national forest. To top it all off, Sergio took photos of our day with his own camera and shared them with us via WhatsApp at the conclusion of the excursion. What a thoughtful touch! I highly recommend this tour, and our guide Sergio.

Our guide Sergio gave us an excellent tour of the Bussaco Palace and forest. He was prompt with meeting us and provided much information about the forest including the history of the palace. We had a lovely walk and he showed us some very special areas and trees in the park. We enjoyed our tour very much. It was well paced and we would recommend this tour and Sergio as a great guide.

We really enjoyed this trip. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide Fatima picked us up promptly and gave us an excellent introduction to the forest on the ride. She skillfully and efficiently lead us to many beautiful locations in the forest, including the valley of the ferns. She also took pictures all along the way, so we could focus on the scenery. Her pictures were much better than what we could take, and she sent them all to us after the tour. I am interested in botany and she was able to answer our questions and identify trees and plants. The history and natural features of Bussaco make it a unique treasure, one of the highlights our visit to Portugal.

This was a great introduction to the forest. We enjoyed our afternoon amongst the fantastic trees and plants. Happy we booked with Sérgio to show us around.

Sergio is a highly professional and thoughtful guide who highlights the beautiful forest by giving historical information and details about the local animals and plants.

A great experience in a wonderful location. Fatima was the perfect host. History, ecology, botany, she had all of the answers. Highly recomended.
