1. Trip advisor reviews
Bastion, Slovenia 13 August, 2015
I've done many tours in different parts of this planet, but this one somehow truly stands
out. First of all, for a second I didn't feel like I'm a tourist. It was more like going to the
mountains with friends you recently met. Hiking, wild swimming, cliff jumping… nothing
was rushed, everything was relaxed and I guess ithappened for the firsttime that Ididn't
check out what time is it for the whole day. The tour is perfectly planned and the
schedule couldn't be better. It's plain that Oporto Advanture Tours is run by people who
deeply love Geres,their »home« as they say,and who want to show that pieceof heaven
also to the other visitors. Believe me, the tour is worth every €. We were also very lucky
that we had the best guide in the whole world. Ricardo (Jedi) is not just a special guide,
he’s also a special person. His passion for nature was noticeable on every step. He
showed abundance of knowledge for flora & fauna, geology, history, tradition, people
and much more. He was very kind, attentive, funny, flexible,he managed to do thousand
of things: driving, guiding us, educating us, serving us food, taking care of a good
atmosphere, taking pictures, being a great nurse… the list is too long. It’s a hard job and
he did it extremely professionally. So, if you are staying in Portugal, don't leavethis great
country without experiencing its astonishing national park. You know who will take you
there. Just explore and enjoy. You'll remember it for the rest of your life.
“"The gem of the Oporto area"”

Two national treasures Porto area has to offer: Peneda-Gerês National Park and a young
local Jedi name Richardo who knows it very well. The tour car will pick you up from the
hotel and return you there at the end. Our guide, a young biologist named Richardo has
the capability of creating great atmosphere among the participants, he has vast
knowledge on the area which makes him the ideal guide. I booked this tour via Emails
directly with the company and they answered quickly.
The only "Issue" i have about the park is that not all parts of it are easily and safely
accessed, therefore a great guide like Richardo is such an asset.
