    The tour was amazing! We got to see various sights in the national park and our tour guide Miguel was the best. We had a nice traditional lunch in Fafião, an old village in the park, and got to learn about its fascinating history. The lagoons were great to swim in and the whole park is just beautiful. If you plan on visiting Gerês national park, you shouldn’t miss out on this tour.

    It was a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday. He was really happy! We enjoyed this experience. We had a great guide Luis! We enjoyed everything : the waterfalls, the stories about this place, the village and the food! It was really nice to discover another part of Portugal! I highly recommend!

    We met around 8:15 right in front of our hostel which made the whole journey very comfortable. Our guide, Luis was so happy, active, talkative, warm and friendly that he immediately made the journey worthwhile. It was impressive how he paid attention to us, to the road when he was driving, the topics we talked about and also of what might be interesting for us. Whilst in the national park, he was so patient, funny and encouraging, also asked about our food preferences which made me so happy since it shows he really cared about us having a great experience. He knows nature and the park and the village so well, it shows right away. Also his personality was a perfect fig for our trip, and even though others in the car were slightly more reserved, he didn’t hold back the energy and his outgoing personality which made our trip extremely pleasant. The view, the food that was served in the village, the swimming in both of the lakes, the rock climbing, the road trips, just awesome.
