We had an awsome day hiking in Caiscais with Miguel. The hike was long and a bit more difficult than we anticipated but Miguel was so patient. He also did a great job in keeping us engaged with the hike with his seemingly unlimited knowledge of the fauna and the surrounding areas. As far as the hiking goes, I definitely recommend being honest with your hiking abilities/experience and Miguel will tailor the hike to what is comfortable for you. Also hiking shoes will be an absolute benefit if you have them. I thought my trusty sneakers had sufficient grip😕. Half way through the hike Miguel let me use his hiking shoes! And he wore mine-- and what a different hike I was on after that. Again, highly recommend hiking shoes. Other tourist spots are always on the list for Lisbon but if you want an actual experience on your trip, Volta adventures with Miguel is an awesome choice!

Once in a Lifetime Experience

BRADON_G, Aug 2026

This was an incredible and breathtaking experience. Miguel was a wonderful guide that quickly became our friend. He was patient, kind, funny, and very knowledgeable about the history and terrain of the places we visited. He took photos throughout our trip for us as well which was awesome. The trek can be a bit of a scramble at times but Miguel made it manageable with his great tips and tricks and a helping hand throughout the trip. I highly recommend closed toed shoes with good grip for this hike and so does Miguel! This was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend anyone visiting the area do this experience with Miguel.

10/10 Hike

Lorie_T, Jul 2026

My son and I wanted to hike while visiting Portugal and decided to book a private guided exploration. It was a 10/10 hike! Miguel led us through beautiful trails overlooking pristine beaches, and led us down to a remote beach for a swim. The elevation was challenging and rewarding. Exactly what we were looking for. Miguel was the best guide, knowledgeable and so kind. It felt like we were hiking with a friend. I’d highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Lorie, thank you so much, this really means a lot. Glad the private hike hit exactly what you and your son were looking for, that mix of a good challenge on the elevation and then cooling off at the remote beach is such a great combo. Really happy it felt more like hiking with a friend than just a tour, that's always the goal. Thanks so much for the recommendation, hope to have you both back for another one soon!

Highlight of my trip!

Kaitlin_W, Jul 2026

I had such a wonderful time hiking with Miguel. It was a bit technical at parts and luckily he provided a hiking stick which was very helpful. I was happy to have my hiking shoes! The views were absolutely stunning and he took the time to point out interesting parts of the ecosystem. We wound up at a gorgeous secluded beach towards the end, where I was able to relax and take a quick dip in the ocean. I highly recommend you book this experience - it was the absolute highlight of my trip! I’ve done a lot of hikes over the years and never would have been able to navigate this trail on my own - it was overgrown at parts and I didn’t see many markings. His expertise and knowledge of the terrain was essential. Don’t hesitate to book!!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Kaitlin, thank you so much, this really made my day. That trail can get technical and overgrown in parts, so I'm glad the hiking stick came in handy and that your shoes were up for it! Ending at that secluded beach for a swim is one of my favorite parts of the Edge of Europe hike, and it means a lot that even with all your hiking experience, it stood out as a highlight. Thanks so much for the recommendation, hope to have you back on the trail again soon!

Very Kool views and it...

Very Kool views and it was a beautiful day to do so much great walking. The guide sad very hospitable and knowledgeable. The views she scenery were amazing.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Gary, thank you for the kind words, really glad you had a beautiful day out there and enjoyed the walk and the views. That stretch of coastline never gets old for me either, even after guiding it so many times. Hope to see you again on another trail sometime!

This was my favorite...

Cecilia_W, Jun 2026

This was my favorite experience on my vacation to Portugal. Miguel was patient and knowledgeable. Doing a challenging hike with a family of non-hikers was intimidating at first, but Miguel helped to make us feel safe. The views are absolutely worth it. Would do again.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Cecilia, thank you so much, this really made my day. It's not always easy guiding a family of non-hikers on a more challenging trail, but that's exactly the kind of moment I love, watching everyone push through and realize they can do more than they thought. So glad the views made it all worth it. Hope to have you all back for another one soon!

This was a wonderful...
