Really great tour! - We had a great experience with our tour guide Ricardo. We wanted to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and that was wonderful with this tour. Ricardo showed us beautiful views, a traditional village and were offered drinks at the end. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Awesome tour, awesome guide - Six in our party took this tour on a Sunday morning. We had such a fun time exploring the mountains of Porto in an open air off road vehicle. Stopped at a small local bar for refreshments. Our guide Josue was awesome and shared so much local knowledge. Would highly recommend this tour which was just enough excitement for our group.

Awesome experience and great guide! - Awesome experience and great guide! It was a foggy morning and we were unsure if we would see much to be honest. How wrong we were, what an experience punching up through the clouds, the smell of Eucalyptus and birds singing. Views amazing,
Was a nice change from the noise and bustle of Porto and would highly recommend!

Excellent way to explore the area outside of Porto - Excellent way to spend and explore an afternoon outside of Porto. Our guide Josue was great, very knowledgeable and a fabulous driver, we felt like we were in very good hands. It was a “real” 4x4. , off road experience, not just well-traveled access roads. Great way to see the surrounding countryside.

Best thing you will ever do in Porto! - We had an INCREDIBLE day with our guide Josué and two new friends from France. Josué was a wonderful guide…very friendly and informative. We rode out into the gorgeous Douro Valley in a LandRover (thank goodness…only way to drive those mountain roads). We visited a tiny little village by a river and stopped into a local bar for a quick drink and visit. Learned a lot about the area. The views were absolutely breathtaking. This trip tops our list of excursions…. Don’t hesitate to book this one, you will not regret it! (Thank you so much for the wonderful gift, Josué!)

A memorable mountain experience. - We really enjoyed our 4x4 tour, it was lovely to see the mountains on the outskirts of Porto and Josue showed a passion for this area , explaining about the landscape and the old mining works. Travelling through the tracks with the roof down was exciting and a memorable experience. Josue took us to a bakery where they make handmade cookies and treated us and also bought us a drink in a traditional Portuguese bar after visiting a tiny rural village. I would thoroughly recommend this trip, Josue is a lovely person and takes the time to make sure you enjoy the trip.

A great adventure. - This was a GREAT adventure. I went with my teenage son - he provided enough excitement on the mountain roads for him without frightening me to death. Interesting insight to the region and the history. Josué, our driver/guide, was lovely. I would definitely recommend signing up to this experience.
