Top 4 Private Hiking Tours in Portugal

1.Peneda-Gerês Hiking & Sightseeing: Private Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 67 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $144Our pick

Review of a private Peneda-Gerês day tour from Braga, with forest hikes, waterfalls, Roman roads, mountain views, hotel pickup, and expert guides.

“On a misty and foggy day, we had a magical hike through the mountains, and a visit to the ancient Roman road. From the moment he picked us up, Carlos was an excellent guide, sharing insights into local agriculture, Portuguese tradition and food, as well as the history, flora, and fauna of the park. Well worth getting the private tour, so you can go at your own speed and adjust the tour to suit your preference. And the park is amazing to visit, whether on a cool and foggy day or in the bright sun.”
