Really great time exploring Geres national park with Ricardo! He took us around to some great views and beautiful crystal clear water. Lunch was at a small local restaurant and one of the best on our trip! I 100% recommend this trip! Remember to bring good hiking shoes (I wore my trail running shoes, which worked well). And if you want to swim, a swimsuit and towel (I forgot a towel - Ricardo bailed me out there and had one!)

Aloha from Hawai’i! Bruno was amazing! Our tour isn’t listed because we wanted to go out of Porto and drive to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. We knew it would be a long drive there and back but Bruno kept us on track and got us back to the ship on time. The drive was simply beautiful! Very comfortable and air conditioned. I got a lot of pictures. Bruno even showed us the river that separates Portugal and Spain. Bruno actually did the Camino de Santiago with his wife twice and we were so blessed to hear his story. He showed us around Santiago; we stopped to get Santiago cookies and chocolates to bring home. And we even stopped for gelato where we met a group that just completed the Camino de Santiago. We even got to take a picture of their passbook! It was incredible!! Santiago de Compostela was spectacular. Such a place of awe. We even got to see St. Francis church, though because of time constraints we didn’t get to go inside, it was still a blessing to be there. It was such a treasure for us to do this on my 56th birthday! I can see why people make the pilgrimage there. We may not have done it by foot but it was a pilgrimage for us in our own way. We’re very grateful for Bruno for picking us up right from the port, driving us 2.5 hours to Santiago, sharing his story, showing us around, and getting us back on time.

My partner and I booked a tour to Geres with Trek Portugal, Bruno was our guide. He shared lots of fun history of the natural area and the wolves. We talked about the land and the trees as we hiked up to the overlook, then Bruno led us back into the hills to a pristine swimming hole for a swim and a picnic. On the way back we saw the wild horses in the meadow and got some more history of the local villages and the wolves. It was a great time and I would book again with these guys.

My wife and three kids had a terrific experience exploring the national park with Bruno as our guide. Bruno provided great insight on the area and broader region/country and blended in seamlessly with our family. The amazing swimming holes helped everyone cool off from the hot summer temperatures and were definitely the highlight. Overall, great trip and guide!

You’ll regret not taking this tour with Bruno. With it being a small group, we were completely able to customize the trip with our 4 month old baby. Bruno knew exactly where to take us and I don’t feel like we missed anything, despite having a baby. We saw multiple water holes we got to swim in, great view points, amazing lunch and Bruno was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area! 5 stars! Highly recommended

Great experience. Geres Park is so beautiful, and we enjoyed it even more through canyoning. Johanna and Andrea are two super guides and they went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful day. Thank you to all Trek Portugal team. Absolutely recommended

Amazing day to Braga and Guimarães with Bruno! He was very knowledgeable and provided a great day of sightseeing and learning for us!

We debated about doing this tour or just heading to the park on our own to hike around and we are so glad that we made the choice to do this guided tour. I’m sure it is a night and day difference. We learned so much about the area - the culture, the language, the history, the geography, you name it. Bruno took us to small villages, great short hikes and vistas, and a restaurant with excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommended, we never would have had such an experience on our own.

This tour was a great day out in the Geres National Park. Bruno has excellent local knowlege, and the groups are small and personal, which made it all the more enjoyable. The kayak, treks, and swims were great fun in this stunning area. The visit to the Wolf village was unexpected, and being a Wolf lover, it was a wonderful surprise for me. I would highly recommend this tour with Trek Portugal in the beautiful National Park.

My visit to Peneda-Gerês National Park was simply incredible! The breathtaking landscapes, picturesque villages, and rich cultural heritage made this experience truly memorable. Our guide, Bruno, was spectacular—fun, knowledgeable, and deeply familiar with local traditions. Can't wait to return!

Bruno and Ricardo were knowledgeable guides who were kind, flexible and professional. They were timely and they saw to our every need. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, scenery or guides. Thank you, Bruno and Ricardo!

This was a wonderful experience and the good weather helped. Certainly someone needs to be relatively fit to do the steps, especially if they go all the way to the very bottom car park. There is a little train to take you back to the top, but inevitably quite a long queue, probably your best bet is to park at the bottom car park. Catch the train to the top explore and then walk down the steps. There is plenty of exploring to do at the top and the views are tremendous. We were lucky enough to see a wedding in the church.

We had a great day touring Peneda-Geres with Bruno. He picked us up directly from our guesthouse and took us on an almost 9 hour tour. You couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable guide. Bruno is an expert on the history, geography, nature, and the people of the region. He explained how the locals have lived in the region for centuries, shepherding their flocks, watering their land from mountain canals, and now conserving nature. We made many stops with hikes along the way. Highlights included an ancient Roman bridge, an ingenious trap for funneling wolves, several waterfalls, and a vantage over much of the park. There's no way visitors traveling independently could hope to see and learn as much as Bruno showed us. Excellent value. The restaurant you stop in for lunch is a bit pricey, so travelers on a budget might want to choose the picnic lunch option.

I did this trip with my husband and two of our friends. Our tour guide, Bruno, did a fantastic job. He was patient with me while I picked my way through the more difficult parts of the waterfall hike when I needed to go a bit slower. We enjoyed the visit of the village and the loved the vista overlooks. We appreciated the stop on the way back to Braga that allowed us to see the beach area and the lovely church. We enjoyed the lunch (not included) at the authentic restaurant in the village. Thank you Bruno for a such a great day! Highly recommend the tour

A great day exploring Geres national park with our guide Ricardo. Beautiful scenery, mountains and waterfalls. Enjoyed some short scenic walks and wading in the lake.
