Natural and Cultural Wonders - My excursion to this Amazing Landscape was enhanced by Luis and his extensive knowledge of the History, Heritage and Geology of the area. His enthusiasm to share in the Natural wonders and the local personality of the towns was intoxicating. I was in awe of the beauty of the Landscape and Townships/Villages and Luis’s ability to draw on that beauty to explain the evolution of life and activity both geologically and culturally. The hospitality of the people in the cafe 🍵, Restaurant and Winery that I visited was so welcoming and warm. I urge others to avail themselves of the same experience that shared with Luis.

A truly unforgettable experience in a beautiful national park! - We had an amazing day out with Luis! He showed us some incredible sights in the Geres national park, and he had so much knowledge of the history and geology of the area. His passion for sharing and guiding others on their journey around the national park was evident throughout the day, and it made the day into a special experience. We saw so many fantastic things on the tour, and the combination of fascinating local history and stunning landscapes is something that we will never forget. The food and drink that we got to try on the tour was absolutely delicious, and you could tell that it was fresh from the local area. In his communications with us before the trip, he went above and beyond by helping to develop a customised schedule for us, so that we could see and experience the things that we wanted to. He also provided us with everything that we needed for the tour, including bottles of water, snacks, and chargers for our phones. Just remember to bring your swimwear and towels if you fancy taking a dip! We ended the day by sharing in some local produce at a lovely and welcoming lady's house, where we got to sample a fantastic variety of products that she had made herself, and which were authentic to the region. The warmth and hospitality shown by everyone we met blew us away, and left us with such an incredible impression of North-Portugal and its people. All in all, we cannot recommend this tour enough! If you are planning to visit the region, this tour is a must, and it will give you such a deep insight in to what this beautiful part of the world is all about. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day Luis, from William and Cleo.

National Park Nature and Wine Tasting - Our day trip to Peneda-Geres National Park was the highlight of our visit to northern Portugal! Even though it was cool and rainy we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beautiful mountains! Luis our tour guide did an amazing job of explaining the area. The lunch was very tasty and the wine tasting experience was top notch. We would highly recommend this tour. Welcomer Tours has several other tours in the Braga area as well which I’m sure are equally amazing! Thanks Luis for a memorable day!

An amazing day - My wife and I were guided and cared for on a tour of a portion Peneda-Geres National park in Northern Portugal by Luis Corrula, who is based in Braga. The tour included several viewpoints, a walk to a waterfall, visits to small villages within the national park as well as introductions to local rivers and reservoirs. Luis is a trained geologist and is an encyclopedia of information on the food and wine, history and culture and the geology and geography of the region. He is very personable and friendly and willing to answer any and all questions – whether how to pronounce a certain Portuguese word or phrase up to any questions that you might have on the interconnectedness of all life within the cosmos. Seriously. Our day long tour ended with a visit an amazing sustainable small family winery where we received a tour and tasting. An incredible and adventure filled day.

Great enjoyable day out - We had the best experience. Luis picked us from Ponte de Lima, which was very near our accommodation, which made a great start of our day. We didn’t need to take anything with us apart from swimming gear, he provided everything, including snacks and lots of water. He was very friendly and genuine, and full of local knowledge. He took us to some amazing view points, we did some hiking and swimming in the beautiful waterfalls. He was very good with children and helped us on our hikes. Lunch was great in a local restaurant in a lovely town. We finished our evening with a great wine tasting experience in a lovely family run vineyard. A really comfortable and relaxing day out.

10/10 - cannot recommend more highly - We cannot recommend this tour more highly! From the moment Luis picked as up from our hotel he made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything was provided - you don't need to bring a thing other than swimming clothes and a towel. The national park is beautiful and Luis' knowledge as a guide and informative knowledge as a geologist made it even more special!! After a morning of swimming and site seeing we were taken out for lunch for an amazing meal and wine. After lunch we visited more sites before finishing the tour with an amazing wine tour and tasting in the evening!! Throughout the day Luis catered to our every need and answered all of our questions. We felt so relaxed! If you are in the region this tour is a must!! Big thank you to Luis for a day we will never forget!!
