We loved our tour of the park, and it was the perfect adventure to have with a child. We loved swimming at the waterfalls, visiting the village, and learning the history of the area. Our guide, Diogo, was very knowledgeable, and ensured we had a great tour.

Best of Braga and Guimaraes Day Trip from Porto

Stephanie_H, Jul 2026

Great day trip

We had a fantastic guide, Anabela, who was full of enthusiasm and love for the region, and a very safe driver, Manuel. There was ample time for lunch in Braga, as well as the guided visit of the cathedral and a short tour of the town. The Bom Jesus sanctuary was stunning, but a great shame that there is no time to go up the stairs or opportunity to see it from the bottom - especially as the outing did not last 9 hours as advertised but 8 hours and 20 minutes. Guimaraes was very beautiful but we only spent an hour and a half there (including the castle) rather than two and a half hours as advertised. It is a shame as we would have loved to see more of this most attractive town. Despite this, I recommend this tour as it packs a lot of things in a day, when you cannot spend longer. The incredibly history of Braga, Guimaraes and the region came to life and we were really well looked after by our Anabela.

Thrill of a tour!

Ricardo is full of knowledge of the entire areas and top notch experience in driving through the mountain. Be ready for an adventure on the 4x4! What even made this tour even more special is how Ricardo took us to visit the locals including family owned businesses for many many years. He made the tour very personal even to the details of the music during our expedition. Thank you Ricardo!!

Half day duro valley with wine tasting

Great half day trip and the guide Carlos was very informative and friendly. Would certainly recommend this activity whilst in Porto. We enjoyed the boat ride and the wine tasting and a lovely drive outside the city. Only thing to make it better would be to have some snacks with the wine tasting.

From Porto: Aveiro, Paiva Walkways, Suspension Bridge and Lunch

Julie_V, Jul 2026

Amazing, must do trip from Porto

This was an amazing well organised trip from start to finish. The views from the suspension bridge and Paiver walkways were spectacular and the downhill 4K walk was well worth it. The sand dunes, beach and sea at Costa Nova were breathtaking and we wish we had had longer to explore and have a swim. Aveiro was very pretty and the gondola ride around the canals and town were both relaxing and enjoyable. Our guide Costa was outstanding, very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. He went out of his way to make sure this was a memorable experience, thank you Costa for a great day which we would highly recommend 😊

Porto Guided Tour to the Historical Center on a Tuk Tuk

kshearmire, Jul 2026

Take the Tuk Tuk!

We had a lovely tour with Chica as our guide. This was our first expreience with a Tuk Tuk, and it won't be our last. We usually use the Hop On Hop Off bus, but not anymore! Chica stopped at several points of interest so we could get pictures and ask all the questions we wanted. You don't get that with the H-O-H-O bus. If you get off that bus you are now on your own for at least half an hour before the next bus comes by. Having the luxury of stopping and starting as many times as we wanted was something special.

Day Trip from Porto to Santiago de Compostela and Valença

Kiersten_B, Jun 2026

Santiago was a dream!

Please book this tour! We spent the late morning and afternoon in Santiago and were back by the early evening. We had time to attend mass, eat, shop, and see the museum. Had we not gotten misled, we would’ve had time to see the crypt. Orlando was the special ingredient that made our tour extra special. His restaurant recommendations were fantastic. He taught us a lot about Galicia and played great music on our ride. He is also a phenomenal driver. Please book this tour. You won’t regret it.

This was an excellent walking tour of Porto and a great way to learn about the city's rich history. Our guide, Diego, was incredibly pleasant, highly informative, and kept the experience engaging from start to finish. It offered fantastic value for money, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to discover Porto on foot.

3 Hour Porto Highlights on a Electric Bike Guided Tour

Sarah_S, Apr 2026

The best 3 hours you’ll spend in Porto!

This was one of the hi-lights of our stay in Porto. ‘John’ was an absolutely brilliant guide who was incredibly passionate about his city. We saw many sights we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and covered a lot! The bikes were a dream to ride and made all the hills very easy to cycle up. Porto is an incredible city and this was well worth doing. ‘John’ (João) used to be a journalist photographer and took us to some great spots for amazing views and even took a few photos too! We can’t pinpoint one thing as the best as it was all an amazing experience and one we wouldn’t have seen definitely recommend.

Durro Tour 2026

Day started wonderfully with Afonso (our guide) picking us up at our hotel. The drive to the Durro Valley was nondescript, but Afonso was great in filling in history and background for the area. We (3 couples in total) started the day with some pastries and coffee and then enjoyed a nice relaxing boat ride on the Dorro River. Afonso was always concerned about our comfort, experience, and needs. He was actually one of the highlights of the trip. The wine tastings were awesome with a bigger producer and then a smaller one. Lunch was incredible as we were treated to a small local restaurant that didn't have a tourist clientele. Owner was engaging and spoke no English, but incredibly personable and attentive. He made the wine we had for lunch and it's something you will never find in a store. Very unique experience! I would like to thank and acknowledge Afonso. He made the difference in his knowledge of the area, communication skills, and overall concern for our experience. Nicely done!!!
