Lunch is not included, and the drive in takes over an hour. 4.99 from 70 reviews at €120 per person. ## Overview Enjoy this tour, which will enable you to explore the nature and culture of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, in a single day. You will be exploring the villages, mountains, rivers and waterfalls of this park, which has a kind of scenery which is hard to find anywhere else. Beside the landscapes, fauna and flora and the numerous wild rivers which form some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal, it has a rich culture, history and heritage. Its monuments go back to the time before the birth of the nation, its villages still retain their peculiar culture and traditions, and villagers still live as their ancestors did. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 438 pickup points - Starts 08:30, 09:00, 09:30: 3 departures a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own ## Key facts - Price: from €120 per person - Rating: 4.99/5 from 70 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Gerês National Park Tours ## What's included - Private transportation - Local guide - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Private tour - Driver/guide - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Not included - Gratuities - Lunch ## Itinerary 1. **Miradouro da Pedra Bela** (3h) - Hiking 2. **Barragem de Vilarinho das Furnas** (20m) - Viewpoint 3. **Parque Nacional Peneda-Geres** (3h) - Hiking & Sigthseeing ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:30, 09:00, 09:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-08-31 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Next to the town hall "Freguesia de Vilar da Veiga" Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJzTJwIi4fJQ0Rh3Sg5OF6XhI Pickup points listed by the operator: 438 ## Good to know - Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - Children must be accompanied by an adult - The duration of transfers are approximate 70 minutes, the exact duration will depend on the time of day and traffic conditions - Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately ## Compared with other Private Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #1 of 5** | €120 | | 4.99 (70) | private | | [Surf Lesson for Beginners - Private Groups](/portugal/braga/tours/surf-lesson-for-beginners-private-groups/?format=md) | €45 | 2h | 5.0 (40) | private | | [Private Culture and Wine Tourism Tour](/portugal/braga/tours/private-culture-and-wine-tourism-tour/?format=md) | €205 | 8h | 4.98 (46) | private | | [Braga: Half Day Private Tour from Porto](/portugal/braga/tours/braga-half-day-private-tour-from-porto/?format=md) | €151 | 4h | 4.91 (33) | private | Ranked #1 of 5 in Private Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
