VERY NICE!
Sergio is the perfect guide! So knowledgeable! We toured with Sergio the day before and he suggested this half day tour because it was going to be a raining day. This was a great tour. Highly recommend the tour and Aventuras!!

Description
We will start our morning visiting the Aliança Underground Museum. In the traditional wine cellars of Aliança Vinhos de Portugal we can contemplate eight different collections, this museum equipment deals with areas such as archaeology, ethnography, mineralogy, paleontology, tiles, ceramics and tinsmithing covering an impressive temporal extension with millions of years. After lunch, we will discover, along paths and trails surrounded by leafy and green trees, the magic of the Mata Nacional do Bussaco, one of the richest national forests in natural, architectural and cultural heritage and, currently, a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site. . A forest where every corner has a story to tell, a way of life to observe, melodies to be enchanted, landscapes to contemplate.

Happy clients
This was a wonderful tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable, and was able to give us a lot of information about things we were seeing, while also stepping back and giving us a chance to enjoy its beauty. He took it upon himself to take pictures so we could enjoy the moment and not worry about capturing memories on film. Very satisfied with the whole experience!
