Aveiro, Passadiços do Paiva & Ponte Arouca 516

What a fun day from start to finish!! And boy, after walking the pathways, the lunch we ate after was absolutely AMAZING! Norberto really knows what he is doing!

Definitely worth doing. The walk is long but not difficult and has places to pause.

This was a wonderful day long experience that hit so many amazing sites (with incredible food along the way). Norberto is such a kind and fun guide, I would absolutely look to book something with him in the future!

First class life time experience – something different & new!
From start to finish this tour was first class.
Norberto is well organised, has a vast knowledge of Portugal and indeed the world, which makes for a very interesting day in itself. Also we had a mixture of nationalities for conversation – USA, UK, Israel & Portugal which highlights everything i have missed re travel, sharing views and experiences. The content of the tour its self is also first class, we love hiking and this is as good as it gets. The staff on the Bridge were extremely helpful as i am not keen on heights but they made every effort to enable me to enjoy the experience. The lunch in the mountain village was the best food from our whole 5 day break & the boat ride/ fishing village are nice add ons. All in all a great day – loved it. Tim (& Jenny)

Fue un experiencia maravillosa.
Desde que empezamos el día en el Puente Colgante de Arouca hasta el precioso paseo por las pasarelas, la comida en Arouca súper rica, espectacular y casera, y el atardecer desde un moliceiro en Aveiro …..sin duda una jornada alucinante gracias a Norberto!! Super amable, atento, una compañía inmejorable para una jornada que recordaremos siempre! MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS!!!!! La mejor ruta de senderismo de nuestra vida!!!

I had a blast on this tour!!!
Crossing the bridge was one thing and hiking the walkway was another but the lunch… The lunch was the best for me. I love the traditional cooking and way of eating!! It felt like home for me and it was extremely delicious. Started to rain but the gondola ride wasn’t too bad since the ride had clay umbrellas which made the viewing nice and it was a nice history of the little town. Got to try a past time sweet there and overall had a blast!!!!

Great experience, the locations you visit are beautiful. Norberto is an excellent host, friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone!

Really excellent tour, the tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly and being picked up and dropped off at your hotel is very convenient.

Excellent, Wonderful, Superb, in fact any and all Superlatives! Go, do it, Norberto won’t disappoint. I would gladly do the whole experience again or for that matter any other that Norberto is hosting, as he is a great host and guide in a very open friendly manner. Can’t praise this experience any higher.

Journée exceptionnelle!

Norberto gave us a great day out. He collected us from our hotel and took us in to the mountains to the Arouca bridge and Pavia walkways. We stopped off in a small town before reaching the bridge to use the loo and get supplies if required. Getting on our way We parked a short walk from the bridge and used a short cut for easy access. Plenty of time for photos and views crossing the bridge and back again for the full experience. Norberto kindly provide umbrellas and ponchos in case it rained. After the bridge we heady down the walkways and into the valley for an easy 7-8 k route along the walkways. Lots of great views and stunning scenery, loo half way if you needed it. Meeting up at the end again for a short ride into the local village for a great local lunch of roast potatoes and beef, vegetables and rice. Good wine and water if required, vegetarian option if that’s your need. After lunch we headed through the mountains and down to the coast for a short walk through Aveiro with a little free time to buy souvenirs and get a coffee. We tried the local sweet pastries before heading for a wonderful boat ride throughout the city. A final trip to the coast and then back to our hotel in Porto. Norberto was a great host, knowledgeable, informative, polite and helpful throughout. We both had a fantastic day and would thoroughly recommend the trip.

Norberto was great. Very knowledgeable. My family enjoyed their time very much.
