Overall rating
The tour was really perfect and we had such a wonderful day! Our guide João was really amazing. I am afraid of heights but I never felt insecure on the bridge since he gave hints how it will be easier & was very kind and patient. It was really an exciting, lovely adventure that we will never forget and we made so many great pictures. Due to the fire, instead of Paiva walkways we visited a monastery which was really interesting & João was very good in explaining the history and provided us with many interesting infomation - no matter which questions - he could answer. The lunch was also very tasty and it was a beautiful place to take the lunch. Afterwards we got some sweets prepared according to recipes of the old monastery - very delicious. Also the driver was really nice and did a great Job. When driving home to Porto she even stopped at some places, so that we could make more pictures of the great landscape. It was really a perfect unforgettable day which I can highly recommend!
Super nice day, nice visit, great guide in his explanations, a lot of walking for the descent of the 7 km footbridge. We enjoyed a very good typical meal, delicious. We were in the super cute little Venice. Very touristy but pretty.
it was an amazing daytrip, the hike was not hard at all, though the bridge was kinda scary, but the small Group was great and we all made it together :). we even went for a swim in the river.
Enjoyed the actual walk and bridge. There was some delay due to 2 people walking away from the group and not contactable. This stressed the guide and shifted her focus from providing info
I loved the walkway. it's a lot of steps and my legs got a workout. guide was great and I love the small group option. having traditional food was special and much appreciated
