    Horrible experience.Paulo let us wait for the returnin bus to Porto, for more than 5 hours , after finishing the Paiva walkaway.He rudely told us to take a cab if we didn't like it. So, we don't recommend this tour.Better take a taxi from the beginning and avoiding a ruined vacation day. Christina, USA

    Paiva Walkways is gorgeous. Wonderful views, great swimming waters. We were not so happy with the organization though. I booked online late at night for the following morning. On internet it said there were 8 spots left and I booked three of those. When we arrived at 8.20, I was told that I should have checked my email because. It turns out that at 6 in the morning I had received an email asking me to reschedule, and at 7, I had received an email stating that the pickup was at 10. What bothered me was that the tour organizer did not apologize, but acted as if it was my fault that we were there early.

    We had a wonderful time - Sergio who did our transfer was so friendly and kind and went above and beyond to make our day great. Lunch at the end of the walk was excellent, with a chance for a swim in the river to cool off. Highly recommended

    Walk along Paccadicos do Paiva was lovely - lots of work building this pathway. Nice day trip if craving green after touring Porto. The taxi/tour van lots is 300m from bottom finish and there is another restaurant/bar there. I didn’t give 5 stars because tour operator had our driver also drive another couple with similar but different tour and there was confusion on afternoon plans. We were there ~9:20 on Monday and practically had the walkway to ourselves except when met other hikers going opposite direction near the bottom.

    Our guide was Paulo. From the very beginning of our trip Paulo was very kind and informative. He gave us a worldclass tour and took the time to answer all of our questions. My sister and I were lucky to have someone who knows the countryside well. He also had phenomenal food options for us to try. All in all I'd like to try a different part of the country and will be requesting him next time.
