Beautiful rainy day at the national park - Even tho it was a rainy day our tour guide Framcisco did his best to show us around and make it a beautiful and unforgettable tour of the park. He was knowledgeable, funny and very easy going. I like how he made us laugh and did his best to let me connect with the others on the tour. Like how he plan a good tour even when the weather wasn't cooperating. Best tour I had it was magical for me and best tour guide too he made me feel like he was a friend and smile. I hope to have a tour of the park again with hime next time I can't wait.

A lovely Day - Fabulous day trip from Porto in a small group. 90 mins car trip to the National Park area, combining village visits with a few shortish walks to beautiful scenery. Very friendly and informative guides - Tiago and Raquel. Excellent driving over winding roads with some rainy conditions at the end of the day. Delicious lunch provided with regional flavors. Many thanks to our wonderful guides and their welcoming and relaxed hospitality. Greg&Louise

Outstanding Outing - Totally outstanding! Pickup was spot on and the ride was comfortable. Pre-planned coffee-bathroom breaks. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was impressive-not a cheap bag lunch but rather a full on family style spread at a local restaurant. This trip was a highlight! JJ and Teresa crushed it!! 🤘🏻💥🤘🏻

Geres National Park - full day tour - Teresa and Joao were great guides. I advised them at pickup that I might have trouble hiking long distances because of knee pain. They took my limitations into account without feeling as though any of the group missed out on anything. We took 3 different hikes, they were wonderful. We stopped off at a great restaurant for lunch. I really felt cared for by Teresa and Joao, they were a lot of fun!

Great visit to Gerês National Forest! - João N was our guide and was terrific! He was first of all a very good driver and knows Porto very well. We were very comfortable with his driving. He is very patient and checks on his group to make sure everyone is doing fine during the hikes. My wife had just finished walking the Portuguese Camino and ended up with a shin split that we are managing, and knowing this, Joāo checked on both she and I periodically during our treks. We were also the oldest (60s) in our group. He was genuinely concerned that everyone was doing fine and enjoying the trip. It is a very scenic drive through much of the countryside. I found the excursion to be as advertised and more. We had at least 4 scénic stops and a terrific lunch to boot at a small village store! They even made it vegetarian for us. The waterfalls and streams were picturesque and invigorating, as were the lookout points. Exceptional views. Just the drive through the park was very pretty with a lot of trees and sunlight coming through in our particular excursion. I am not good with heights, but the places we were at did not bother me, as there were not steep drop-offs in the places that we went. There were 8 of us total plus our guide. The trip was well-worth the price in our opinion. Do the trip, you’ll be glad you did!!
