A lovely exploration of northern Portugal nature - A lovely day exploring the mountains and woods. About an hour and a half drive from Porto, we explored this protected area with a half dozen stops. Total walking distance was around 5 miles and varies from a short walk to an overlook, to about a mile and a half to a waterfall. Thelma was a great guide and adjusted stops to meet our interests.

Postcard worthy trek. - Telma was our guide and catered the trip to our wishes. It was a beautiful hike to waterfalls, expansive vistas better than any postcard or travel blog. Lunch was the biggest spread I’ve ever seen. Appetizer plate with many Portuguese delicacies and main course of rice, potatoes, beef and chicken. Delicious dessert of coconut pie and espresso. Oh yeah of course the obligatory delicious wine. The wolf trap was awesome and the day perfect. Do not hesitate to book a small intimate tour with this company.

Incredible landscapes and great food - I booked this tour because a friend of mine had already done a few tours with this company and recommended it to me. I’m really glad I went! The landscapes in Gerês were beautiful and the waterfalls were amazing. I went in winter and it was already stunning, so I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in spring or summer. Everything was very well organized, the guide was friendly, and the restaurant was incredible with amazing quality food. I would definitely recommend it!

An Unforgettable Tour - We had a wonderful time exploring parts of Peneda-Gerês National Park. The park is an under advertised national treasure that is not described in many tour books. After our one day tour we are grateful to have spent time far from the madding tourist crowds of Porto and Lisbon. The park is tranquil, spectacular, and, literally a breath of fresh air. We visited a lakeside beach, waterfalls, mountain top vistas and small villages. Our excellent tour guide, Miguel, was personable and erudite in all things Portugal, from geography, industry, economics, history, politics, and the daily lives of residents in the park. He skillfully accommodated one of us with some mobility limitations making every effort to share the rugged experience safely. Our tour ended with lunch in a charming, family-operated restaurant in a small village. We were told that the food was traditional Portuguese and it was delicious. During our drive back to Porto Miguel offered to drop us off at Crystal Palace Gardens (an enjoyable way to end the day) a point that differed from where we were picked up. We certainly recommend this tour and guide to anyone who wishes to have a broader appreciation of Portugal.

Our day trip with Miguel... - Our day trip with Miguel was absolutely fantastic! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about his city. He brought Porto’s history to life with great story telling, showed us both iconic sights and recommended hidden local gems like Conga, which was the best Bifana my Wife and I has ever had. We were very fortunate to have Miguel all to ourselves, which made the experience relaxed and personal! Cheers to an amazing tour I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a great day trip!

Must see tour of Geres, you have to go see! - We had an unforgettable trip with João that we will be talking about anytime we talk about Portugal. The area is absolutely stunning with crystal clear waters, wild horses, beautiful villages with great lunch and we can’t forget the breathtaking views. Also, Joao was the best guide we could have possibly asked for. We were in Portugal for 8 days and this was the highlight. If you get a chance to go on any of their tours I wouldn’t hesitate. Next time we go to Portugal the first thing we will do is plan another trip with them. Obrigado!

We booked a small group... - We booked a small group tour that ended up just being us and our guide, João. He provided us with such an amazing day full of beautiful views, easy hikes, and a delicious traditional meal with vinho verde tinto, which we were excited to try. I 1000% recommend taking a tour with Oporto Sensations!

Adventure & fun in the mountains! - My significant other and I absolutely loved this guided tour of Braga and Geres! We were so lucky and grateful to get a private tour on the day we booked. Our tour guide, Joao, was the perfect area expert to take us on this tour, and his partner Miguel was so much fun to be around. We had a full day of history, stunning mountain views, adventurous hikes with waterfall views, a classy authentic Portuguese lunch, and many laughs. A highlight of our lunch was tasting the Vinho Verde and beef local to Geres among great company. I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience something tailored especially for you. João and Miguel do their best to make sure you have a fantastic experience and deeper appreciation of the area!
