This excursion is a must! Best we had in Portugal. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and a safe driver. Crossing the bridge is nerve wracking but the guides make you feel at ease. After a long hike back down the mountain you’ll be treat it to the most delicious meal! And that is just half the day.

A very nice day. Good weather. A nice group of 8 people. The walkways were spectecular. 5 kilometers in total. And then a nice portugese meal with drinks. On to Costa Nova. Beautiful. And on to Aveiro. Oud guide Mauro was taking good care of us. A boat-ride was special. A lot of explanation. In a city with all good stores, like Guess, Springfield etc
