We were so lucky and happy to have Luis show us around Peneda-Gerês and the surrounding villages. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, prepared and flexible. Lunch in Gerês was delicious and the wine tasting at Casa Lata was the perfect way to end the day.

My excursion to this Amazing Landscape was enhanced by Luis and his extensive knowledge of the History, Heritage and Geology of the area.
His enthusiasm to share in the Natural wonders and the local personality of the towns was intoxicating.
I was in awe of the beauty of the Landscape and Townships/Villages and Luis’s ability to draw on that beauty to explain the evolution of life and activity both geologically and culturally.
The hospitality of the people in the cafe 🍵, Restaurant and Winery that I visited was so welcoming and warm.
I urge others to avail themselves of the same experience that shared with Luis.

We had an amazing day out with Luis! He showed us some incredible sights in the Geres national park, and he had so much knowledge of the history and geology of the area. His passion for sharing and guiding others on their journey around the national park was evident throughout the day, and it made the day into a special experience.
We saw so many fantastic things on the tour, and the combination of fascinating local history and stunning landscapes is something that we will never forget. The food and drink that we got to try on the tour was absolutely delicious, and you could tell that it was fresh from the local area.
In his communications with us before the trip, he went above and beyond by helping to develop a customised schedule for us, so that we could see and experience the things that we wanted to. He also provided us with everything that we needed for the tour, including bottles of water, snacks, and chargers for our phones. Just remember to bring your swimwear and towels if you fancy taking a dip!
We ended the day by sharing in some local produce at a lovely and welcoming lady's house, where we got to sample a fantastic variety of products that she had made herself, and which were authentic to the region. The warmth and hospitality shown by everyone we met blew us away, and left us with such an incredible impression of North-Portugal and its people.
All in all, we cannot recommend this tour enough! If you are planning to visit the region, this tour is a must, and it will give you such a deep insight in to what this beautiful part of the world is all about.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable day Luis, from William and Cleo.

Our day trip to Peneda-Geres National Park was the highlight of our visit to northern Portugal! Even though it was cool and rainy we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beautiful mountains! Luis our tour guide did an amazing job of explaining the area. The lunch was very tasty and the wine tasting experience was top notch. We would highly recommend this tour. Welcomer Tours has several other tours in the Braga area as well which I’m sure are equally amazing! Thanks Luis for a memorable day!
