Summary:
Great trip out from Coimbra. Really interesting countryside, off the beaten track. Shist villages were fascinating.
We saw Red Deer and wild boar. Alfredo took us down all sort of tracks and right into the mountain scenery. He was really pleasant and very knowledgeable. We loved it.
Great to get into nature for a couple of hours.

Summary:
An incredible afternoon seeing the beautiful villages in Lousa and surrounds. It was a difficult day as there were wildfires in Portugal so while we couldn’t access the usual tour sites, I don’t feel like I missed out in any way as Alfredo made sure he gave us the best possible experience - we saw deer too!

Summary:
Our host was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the region and Portugal history generally. He took us ALL OVER the mountains looking for the much elusive deer! We spotted about six, including a very large buck! We got to hike a bit in a beautiful forest as well. And, of course, the tour wouldn’t be complete without the visit to the schist village! Quaint and pretty. I highly recommend this tour BUT be sure that you/your group is prepared for hours of off-roading, dust, and being inside a diesel vehicle for very long stretches of time, and on windy roads! This is rustic….
