Great experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

We really loved this tour. It was so nice to get out of the city and explore the forest. Sergio was informative and provided a lovely experience. We learned a great deal about the forest while getting to see some highlights, including the palace hotel. It was so peaceful and we want to come back and spend even more time.

Nice experience!

It is a beautiful forest that is accessible to everyone. The guide did give it an extra dimension. We have been to beautiful places and viewpoints. The guide told interesting things about the forest and the history surrounding the Bussaco Palace. He told it in a pleasant and understandable way.

Everything exceeded expectations

Published on Aug, 2024

Everything exceeded my expectations. The forest is dense with many trails and view points. The castle-turned-hotel inside the forest is mesmerising and one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. The monastery is unique. The guide is very knowledgable and friendly. 5+. I am coming back next time.

Heavenly

Published on May, 2024

Our guide Sergio was very thoughtful and informative with the deep history of the forest leading up to the monastery. There isn't enough time to take it all in, but my favorite part was looking up the steps that were designed around the natural spring... just "heavenly" .

You've got to go see this magical forest!

This tour was excellent! Sérgio taught me a lot about the history of the forest as well as the beautiful structures built within it. He made the experience really enjoyable despite the rain, and even took photos for me of everything we saw!
