His deep knowledge of the region, its wildlife and its plants is impressive, but what really stands out is his warmth and his passion for what he does. Sérgio didn't just guide us; he told us stories, took us to stunning places off the usual tourist circuits, and always made sure the whole group was safe and comfortable.
Sergio was fabulous! So enthusiastic and fun. We saw way more than we could ever have done on our own. We travelled roads I would not have even attempted. Sergio was always thinking ahead altering the route to accommodate ever changing weather conditions. This tour was a major highlight of our time in northern Portugal
We loved this tour. Sérgio was an excellent guide. Beyond how friendly he is, he showed us unique landscapes and places in Serra da Estrela. I recommend this experience.

We assess conditions in the 24h before. If it's unsafe to go ahead, we'll reschedule or fully refund. Light rain usually doesn't cancel — the mountain is beautiful under clouds too.

It depends on the activity. The 4x4 tours and the Douro boat tours are the most accessible, since most of the time is spent in the vehicle or on board, with short stops. Trails and night hikes involve uneven ground. Talk to us before booking and we will point you to the best option.
For experiences that include a meal or tasting, tell us about any dietary restrictions when booking. We confirm them in advance with the local producers and restaurants we work with.
Up to 4 people per jeep. On private tours the jeep is just for your group; if you are more than 4, get in touch and we add a second jeep.

Snow alert
It only snows a few times a year and the following days sell out fast. Leave your email and we'll send you a heads-up as soon as the mountain turns white — usually the day before or that same morning.
