Just such a lovely experience walking with Ricardo and Shy. The hike was challenging enough but not horrendous. Luckily we did the hardest section when it was a bit cooler in the early part of the day. Ricardo was such a lovely person, made sure everyone was included and gave people his insider knowledge not just on the trip but for Porto too. The picnic was absolutely amazing. Homemade goodies, fresh fruit and produce very, very good. We would 100% recommend but just remember plenty of water and remember it is a hike.

The guide was very nice and the walk was fine. My lousy score is for the picnic. Dirty dishes, having dirty. The food, nothing present, nothing bought, gave the impression that l9 had done in his house. A tupper with pieces of melon, plum, orange. Two small guacamole tuppers and another sauce, a small sardine tupper, and two sliced chorizos for eight people. The unclean thing was the bread.. the valuation of yn guide for a walk in my country is 10 euros. We pay per person 49 euros that is, between 30 and 39 euros go for the picnic seriously?? Have I paid on average 35 euros for that picnic?? Not because of the quantity, but because it was all dirty. At the end I noticed, wash dishes and lps covered with wet wipes and it must be that when you get home you do not use the detergent. Of course, with what you charge for the picnic, you'd better put new plates and cutlery

This really was a lovely hike with Ricardo and his dog and a great way to get out of the busy streets of Porto!
The views are lovely and a great variety along the way! For adults, I would highly recommend this hike!
We did this hike with our two children (5 & 9) and it was much longer than we were expecting. The distance was not listed on the description (unless I missed it???), so likely our own error, but we assumed a casual hike through some trails and a village. I believe it was close to 10km total at a pretty steady pace which is a lot for little legs. Although we made it, it was difficult to keep up at the end, even with a carrier for our youngest. When the heat of the afternoon set in and it was more of a scramble to keep up to the group since we were hiking with all adults. Ricardo was lovely and ended up helping with a shoulder ride for our youngest which was much appreciated!
Our kids loved this Hike and so did we, just a little more description in the Hike write up would help to know what to better expect especially for families. I went by the ages 5+ in the listing.
