Amazing trip to Peneda Geres National Prk. We went to a couple of nice waterfalls and had the chance to swim. It was a great hike. We also got to see a small village and tried some traditional Portugese lunch. Our guide Sofia was fantastic! She told us many stories about the history of the town and national park. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Porto! It was an amazing experience!!
Alexander - Germany
The travel with our guide was entertaining and fun. I personally loved the hiking part and to learn new about the culture and the people in the villages we have visited. It was a great experience which I would like to repeat. Thanks you!

The tour with Elena was really fun and she was very attentive as well. She made sure that we were okay and feeling great at all times. The group was perfect. Not too big, not too small. We had a fantastic day, even though it was rainy at times. I can highly recommend this tour. The national park is beautiful and we had the chance to swim twice during the day. The food was also excellent. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Me and my partner very much enjoyed our trip to the National Park. Alejandro our guide made the trip very laid back. We could relax and enjoy the beautiful nature on our own pace. The bumby ride with Rita ( the car) through the mountains was very fun. Overall whoever will choose this tour will not be disappointed. All has been well organized. thank you!

Ricardo was very informative, funny and genuinely felt like a new friend you’d want to have a beer with. He was passionate in explaining Portugal’s rich heritage and took us around the national park. We loved the waterholes he took us too. Also the restaurant he took us to for lunch was very good. This tour was a highlight for our trip in Porto!
Fabien - France
Our guide, Emmanuel was very nice and funny. We had a great time and met some great people. The places he took us to were beautiful. He was the guide all day and explained the life of the village where we stopped to eat, and lots of other very interesting anecdotes about Portugal. The meal was great.
GetYourGuide traveler - Portugal
It was amazing, better than I thought. An unforgettable day and an activity very different from the usual. Definitely not a traditional trip but an adventure!! Super recommended for those who love nature, but please bring good tracking shoes!!!! Our guide was incredible, you will be in good hands.
Nathan - Australia
This was an incredible day trip. The scenery and landscape in the National Park was other worldly. Rafael our guide was very funny, knowledgeable and committed to ensuring we had a great experience. I thoroughly recommend it. It is such a memorable and enjoyable day. From riding in the Landrover, swimming in the waterfalls, exploring the local village or eating the local cuisine, this tour has it all
Crystal - United States
Our day in the national park was very enjoyable -- mainly in part to our awesome guide, Luis. Luis was very personable and had a great deal of knowledge about the park and the local communities. The hikes were great, as were the views. Lunch was fantastic and we really enjoyed getting to meet some of the locals. Highly recommend! Perfect day trip from Porto!
