This is a full day of solid exploring, sights and nature without being overly challenging or rushed. Elena was an amazing tour guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly, fun and engaging. Both my girlfriend and I felt like this was worth the cost, especially considering what you'd have to do to get there on your own. Thanks Elena and Oporto Adventures!”
