Ines was a fab guide. Thankfully, I called ahead of time and she sent the EXACT parking lot in the small town where we would meet her. We drove from Guimares -and, was a CRAZY mountainous drive. We went home via Arouca and Porto and was much better roads. The experience was great - we did not do lunch. Snacks packed, but Ines knowledge of the fauna and area was super! Really enjoyed.

Shari_M, Jul 2024

The suspension bridge was fun to walk on. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The whole experience was very enjoyable and made for a wonderful day.

Amazing hike and wonderful guides

Joao and the whole team at Just Come were amazing. Start to finish they accommodated everyone's needs in our group and the other groups on the tour, managing to deal with different levels of activity and departure times. Joao's knowledge of the biology, flora, and fauna of the area was outstanding and he dedicated time on the trail to speak with each and everyone of us. A 5-stars group of conscientious and kind individuals.

Good Experience and Good Guide

Robert_B, Apr 2024

The hike was a great experience. Inês was a good guide. Just Come Adventures was on time and professional. One bit of advice - the directions to the meeting place could be clearer and more detailed. Our GPS took us straight to the bridge, rather than the meeting point; however, Inês was able to find us and we continued the hike with the group. She was very knowledgeable and made the walk fun. Just Come was kind to transport us back to our car, even though we had not found the correct meeting point. All in all, a very enjoyable experience , and it was worthwhile to have a guide, although the hike can be done without one, if one can figure it out. It was a fair price for a guide, admission, water, and lunch. We recommend Just Come Adventures. The area itself is incredibly beautiful.

Highly recommended excursion!

Ines and Joao were very punctual and made the experience very enjoyable! They were very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the bridge and its construction as well as history, geology, and horticulture of the area. João also had a camera and took pictures along the way, which were later emailed to us. At the end of the hike Pedro was waiting to drive us back to the meeting point. Highly recommend!

It was very interesting...

Alain_P, Oct 2025

C was very interesting for the crossing of the bridge but also for the explanations provided by the guide on the ecological level, on the contribution of this activity for the city, all the way down..
