It was excellent!!! Levi was our guide, driver and photographer, allowing us to enjoy the best of Serra da Estrela without worrying about Waze, GPS or the road. In addition to being extremely well informed about the history of Portugal and the region, the most beautiful spots, the weather conditions (an important fact in the tower and at the viewpoints), he is good-humored and tells us interesting facts about the region. I highly recommend it, it was a very pleasant time, excellent value for money! For us, my husband and I, it was one of the highlights of our visit to Portugal (geographically too)!

The tour was great! Levy, our guide, was very friendly and told us a lot about the local history, as well as taking several photos of us as souvenirs. I would definitely do the tour again!

The landscapes are lush... a shame that on the day of the visit it was quite foggy. But our guide knew how to work with adversity and created a spectacular tour
