I truly enjoyed the hike and the scenarios. The lunch was absolutely delicious! I believe this experience was one of the best I participated in during my entire time in Portugal.

This was one of our favorite experiences in Portugal! The suspension bridge and walkways provided amazing views and lunch was incredible! Norberto was an excellent guide and very accommodating to our needs.

It was excellent tour with Norberto. He is very friendly and he tried to show us a lot and give us any information. We enjoyed it because Norberto is great storyteller and I think he loves it , so he could pass it on to us very easily. The places we could see are great , interesting and lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. I can´t say how wonderfull the day it was, our absolute best day in Porto. I can really recommend this tour to everyone!!!
