Enjoy this tour, which will enable you to explore the nature and culture of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, in a single day. You will be exploring the villages, mountains, rivers and waterfalls of this park, which has a kind of scenery which is hard to find anywhere else.
Beside the landscapes, fauna and flora and the numerous wild rivers which form some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal, it has a rich culture, history and heritage. Its monuments go back to the time before the birth of the nation, its villages still retain their peculiar culture and traditions, and villagers still live as their ancestors did.

Samuel was an excellent, knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. We had a great time on our hike and enjoyed everything he shared with us about the park, the region, the flora and fauna. The fact that he grew up here and lives here was very meaningful because you can tell how much he loves and cares for the park.

My husband and I started our Portugal trip heading straight to the Park from our flight in Lisbon. After a day of rest, Carlos picked us up for a 3 day adventure with him, hiking and sight seeing throughout the park and even a tad in Spain! Carlos was fun, informative and a great host along with being a great driver on some of those narrow mountain roads! We highly recommend this company for quality of experience, value for your time and money. It is an experience we will never forget and we thank Carlos and Samuel for their professionalism, organization and efficiency in arranging 3 memorable days for us! A time these Candians will never forget!

I don't think there is anyone in the entire country of Portugal that is more knowledge or passionate about Peneda-Geres than Carlos. Even hiking on a raining March day was a blast. Carlos was a wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna. The hike was scenic and well paced. Perfect for exploring the beautiful mountains of Portugal!

Carlos was a fantastic guide - very helpful and a fountain of knowledge about all of the local plants, animals, history, and architecture. A true Renaissance man! He made the trip so enjoyable. I came with my parents and he seamlessly catered the trip to match their interests and activity level. The park itself is so beautiful and has so much variety - having a knowledgeable tour guide allowed us to see so much of what it had to offer. I would recommend this to anyone.

Our private tour guide Carlos Silva picked us up at our Porto hotel and drove us to and from the only national park in Portugal, which borders Spain. Carlos was extremely informative and great company! We had a wonderful hike among the beautiful mountains and waterways.

Carlos was an excellent guide. Very informative especially regarding the local flora, fauna and history. We got to walk along Roman road. The park is gorgeous. Lunch and bottled water not included so pack your own or plan to stop at local restaurant.

I did a one day hiking tour of Peneda Gerês with National Park Tours and it was fantastic. My guide, Carlos, was great. He knew everything about the park and I learned a lot. He also took me to a lot of spots that I wouldn't have found on my own. National Park Tours was also very accommodating of my request to pick me up in Ponte de Lima and drop me off in Porto at the end of the day. My only regret was not booking a multi-day trip with National Park Tours. Next time!
