Summary:
This was an amazing and very interesting tour. Miquel and joau (spelling of the name..?) were great guides and showed us the most beautiful places in the mountains. We had a feeling that it was our own private tour and the time was in our own hands. They didn’t push to drive to the next stop. We felt that we had all the time in the world.
They were both very open about their private life and was very interested in us which made us feel very welcome.
Thank you both for one of the best days in Viana. ♥️☀️

Summary:
Miguel & Joao were just amazing. My son has a very rare genetic issue and is autistic. This was a great family adventure. The kids loved the off road adventure. We covered so much ground the adults loved seeing all the major peaks in the area. This included swimming and a stop at a fantastic local cafe. We had such a good time trying local foods with them. The knowledge they have of the area and culture was special and was one of the best tours we did in our 3 weeks in Portugal.
Everyone should make time for this trip when in Viana Do Castello.
