We’ll drive up and down the hills of Gerês and show you what few people ever get to enjoy. A Keen Tours day trip to Gerês offers a complete experience unfolding the History, Culture and Nature on the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
Explore the mountains in a small group setting, hiking through centuries old paths that cut through luxuriant woods and reaching the best viewpoints for fantastic views.
Experience a forest included in the European Network of Biogenetic Reserves and a bit of the 318 km (198 miles) of the geira – the roman highway Via XVIII from Braga (former Bracara Augusta) to Astorga (Asturica Augusta), in Spain.
Depending on the weather, bathe in the fresh, clear waters of the mountain waterfalls or soak in the hot springs used since (at least) the romans, admire the newborn baby horses in the woods or enjoy the magnificent colour palette of the leaves falling – whatever the season, the tour is bound to amaze you.

Although we started the trip in a foggy and raining day, our tour guider, Pedro, filled the trip with a lot of interesting staff, from local history to wildlife, animal and plants. We, my husband and I, are both not outdoor type and learned a lot from Pedro. Have you sit in a hot spring in a raining day? We did. It was quite interesting experience. The lunch was in a small local restaurant, but the food was fresh and amazing. Thanks Pedro and Rita to arrange this wonderful tour.

Amazing tour, personalized to our desires. Rita picked us up, drove us from Porto to Geres. Pedro toured us through the hikes and history of Portugal. We hiked & talked, went in to hot springs and had a joyous authentic meal on a perfect tour & day. Thank you!!!

Pedro is one of a kind. His knowledge of the plants, trees, wildlife and history is amazing. Every tour he does is different not to mention no one else on your tour. Top it off we had a great lunch and ended the day soaking in the hot springs.
