Being a vintage car the seatbelts are different from modern cars, some seats just have the waist belt.
If you suffer from car sickness you should take medication before the tour or bring it with you on the tour.
We advise you to swap seats with the other travellers during the day.

I would give this tour 50,000/5 stars if I could. We were lucky to be the only two people on the tour, and Alejandro made it unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the park, the local village, and the people who call it home, and he brought everything to life with great stories and insight. The villagers were so kind and welcoming, and the traditional Portuguese lunch was absolutely amazing. Alejandro adjusted the entire experience to fit the weather and our preferences, which made the day feel completely personalized. The ride in the 1999 Land Rover was nostalgic and so much fun. Alejandro goes above and beyond in every way. If you are considering this tour…GO!

Thanks for an amazing tour to the National Park: beautiful waterfalls, local food and interesting village tour! Our guide Adriano was very friendly and we had great conversations about the national park and life all in all. I can definitely recommend this tour, especially because the guide is flexible and happy to adapt it depending on the weather or what the group wants.

Even with the slightly overcast weather and light rain, the tour was great. Our guide, Inês, was incredibly kind. The park is absolutely beautiful. We went into two waterfalls, and the lunch was excellent. I highly recommend this tour!

We had Ricardo and he was an amazing guide! Plenty of insightful and knowledgeable information!! The hiking was easy (definitely need good walking/hiking shoes) and the natural pools were cold but it was fun to swim nonetheless! It was a chill day, relax with no stress. We took our time and the tour in the small Wolf Village was a must as we got to learn how they still live. The lunch was complete and tasty. Would recommend 😄

It was a wonderful trip, definitely worth trying if visiting Portugal. Wear hiking shoes, it was misty/wet when I visited in early September and the trail was slippery in the rocky areas. Beautiful waterfall visits, definitely worth the hike for a nice swim. Amazing views. Lunch was okay.
Magali – France
Guide and driver great thanks Rui! And João great too. We had rain so activity adapted according to the weather of course but well managed. The park is superb and these multiple waterfalls are magnificent! We are delighted! Thank you very much 🤩 Magali and Freddy
