Outstanding!! - Prepare for an active day. The lunch at the country farm is an authentic family dining experience. You will need it after the hike too. Our guide made the afternoon information with continued sights and a comparison with of fado music new and old and of course some fun chatter about soccer.

Love this tour! - This tour was spectacular. If you like the great outdoors and sparkling fresh air while you enjoy wildlife, this is the tour for you. The authentic Portuguese country side lunch was delicious and the setting was beautiful. The experience was well worth every penny.

Absolutely Must Do! - If I could give this tour a rating of 10 stars, I would. We absolutely loved it. We did the suspension bridge & Paiva walkway. Tomas was our guide & he was fantastic, spoke very good English & told us many interesting facts about the Porto area & Portugal, we loved him. I would highly recommend this tour! If you are from the US like us, the Porto area outside the city where we went reminded us of the forests of Oregon, it was a beautiful area we toured. Our lunch was included & we were surprised to get a farm to table experience at a local wine farm in Arouca, the food & locally produced wine at the farm was an extra special experience we will never forget. Thank you so much for such a great memory for us to take home & share with friends & family!

Great experience! - Thanks to our guide we explored the naturistic beauties outside the city of Porto, between the suspension bridge, trekking along a river in the middle of nature and the small town of Aveiro. Lunch transported us into Portuguese culinary culture. We really enjoyed the guide, especially for his enthusiasm and sympathy. To do absolutely!!!

Best tour in Porto - Our tour director Dani was unbelievably great. He made the experience feel like we were all friends hanging out and just having a great time. The Paiva walkway was about 3 miles but all downhill or relatively level. At the end we had to walk up a giant hill to reach the van and honestly it was probably the toughest part but there’s nothing you could do about that. They parked as close as possible. Walking the suspension bridge was a once in a lifetime experience. Even though it rained the entire time, it seemed to add to the mystique because the fog would occasionally block the view and we were the only tour group there because of the weather. You need to be in decent shape. At least able to walk 10,000 steps. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique tour when visiting Porto. Dani was the best if I didn’t say that already!!!
