“Hiking with Ricardo and Shy(dog) was a breath of fresh air. It was so nice to get out of the city (Porto) and hear sounds of nature. The river hike had many points of interest. Personally- I loved the community garden with walls made of shale nestled along the river. You do not have to be in optimal shape. Ricardo will adjust the trail accordingly. Ricardo also enjoys cooking so our picnic lunch was made up of many fresh items he thoughtfully presented. This is an experience you will remember.”

“I booked the tour last minute, Hugo did not cancel the tour as I was the only participant. The view was very nice and the hike was not difficult, will recommend!”

“To have your own guide was fantastic. We learnt so much and went to places we may not have seen otherwise.”

“I love this experience with Portugal Active. The guide, Jorge, is a very friendly and helpful guy. I loved all the scenery and the waterfalls. The meal, included, at the end of the activity was wonderful, it highlighted the welcoming spirit of the population of Viana do Castelo”

“Les quads confortables de bonne qualité, un décor et un circuit au top ainsi qu’un hôte genial a l’écoute et prudent permettes une balades de qualité !! Je recommande”

“Excellent! Highly recommend this hike with Antonio. He’s very knowledgeable about the region and the wine making process, the scenery is so beautiful, and the picnic at the end is the best meal you’ll have during your stay!”

“Our guide, Juoan, was incredible and gave us one of our most memorable tours. We were scheduled for a different tour that had to be cancelled and this was wonderful. The Duoro valley is a must do for anyone visiting Porto. We had a great group of people and our guide and vintners made it just perfect!! We had delicious local wine and food and a special surprise guitar serenade by our guide. Multi talented and wanted to do anything to make us comfortable. The only drawback is there were 8 people in a van and it was extremely tight. Would be perfect for 6, but I think they tried…”

“From the first second on, our guides Bruno & Sara were outstandingly accommodating and made the river trekking a fantastic experience. They took time to explain us about the region, the river and brought us to the most beautiful spots. Even afterwards the two gave us personalized recommendations on excellent restaurants. The communication on English worked perfectly and we have to recommend this tour to every couple or family spending their time in this gorgeous region.”

“Can't say enough about how amazing this tour and tour guide were! We traveled ALL over Portugal and this was literally the highlight of our entire Portugal trip!!! Gorgeous waterfalls and hike, amazing picnic, everything was done on our own time/pace, friendliest and most knowledgeable tour guide we had of all the tours we took in our 10 days of being there-you can tell he LOVES doing what he does and his excitement is infectious. If you can, I highly recommend asking about staying overnight at Carmen's house, she is SO friendly and warm and welcoming. We took this tour while we were staying in Porto and the tour guide…”

“Ricardo was outstanding! He was fun, playful, informative, and professional. Great variety of views of the city and different neighborhoods. Food, culture, history, etc…all enjoyably covered during the tour. Walked 18,000 steps. Highly recommended!!”
