My friend and I recently... - My friend and I recently participated in this tour, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. Our guide, Angelo, was not only funny and kind but also a highly skilled driver—especially impressive on the curvy roads. With just four people in the group, the experience felt personal and thoughtfully tailored. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others. 10/10 would reccomend.

Lagoas of Gerês National Park - The landscapes of the place are beautiful and we were very well guided! The lagoons serve all sorts of people, from those here like deep wells, as well as those who like slimmer wells to bathe. The most impressive is the color of the water that is surreal!

Fun adventure with an exceptional guide - We had a wonderful adventure to the Geles National Park with the amazing guide Andre. The park is stunning, the hike is thoroughly enjoyable and doable (even for us Gen-xers!) and the stop at the lagoon was just magical. The water was ice cold but the sun was just warm enough to encourage most participants to take the plunge and enjoy the incredible natural high. We then had ample time to relax and dry off on the warm smooth rocks before embarking on the hike back. We saw wild horses and goats, and, at the end, quite a few of the village free-range cows up VERY close! Andre was easy going but extremely knowledgeable, interesting and focused on everyone’s safety and enjoyment. He made an effort to connect with everyone (a diverse group in terms of age and nationality) His leadership truly enhanced an already terrific experience. We can’t wait to come back and try the Douro tour with him! The ride out to Geles was close to 2 hours each way, but the van was comfortable and there’s a stop on the way out to get breakfast treats and coffee. Note that there is no lunch stop although there is a snack shack at the end of the hike where you can get simple sandwiches, chips, soda and beer. Thank you Andre - and see you on our next trip!

Beautiful and relaxing hike with bathing pleasure in the national park - After a winding drive with ever-changing views into beautiful valleys, you then hike a leisurely path along a steep slope and around cows and exciting rock formations. Finally you can reach the fantastic pools, which invite you to jump, swim, bathe and splash with their different depths. You can soak up a lot of sun on the warm stones. You can also use them for crackling or discovering the pools. Our guide João/John was very nice and always helpful and available with tips and tricks. He allowed everyone in our group to have their own speed and still kept an eye on us all. Thanks also for the cocktail recipe, we will definitely copy it!:)

Glad I went - Just go! Bring water! There is a natural spring to refill about halfway up the hike- Bring a sandwich or snacks- I brought a bottle of Port Wine. As you should.. It’s not “easy” but not “hard”? I feel like I’m in pretty good shape and I was sweating and huffing a bit…if u have any issues don’t go. The guide, Gosto, was super nice, helpful, good driver..2 hr drive each way..there is a little snack hit at base of trail and driver stops halfway there at a coffee/pastry/beer shop 🤘🏽.meetup spot is inside tour office on the corner- across from police station, by the little park/square. Wear bathing suit under clothes cause no where to change at natural pools;)

Absolutely enjoyable, beautiful for the eyes, refreshing for the body - This was such a great hike, with a very friendly, caring for each in the group guide! Very grateful to him! The hike is easy, you will feel pleasantly toned, the views are stunning, like really gorgeous!! The lagoons are refreshing and not super cold, the emerald color of the water is true and amazing. The road is a bit curvy closer to the destination so if you have a motion sickness you kight want to keep a pill in your pocket, but our guide knowing this was so careful with the driving that I did not need it in the end.
