A beautiful day discovering waterfalls and natural park
Despite the gloomy weather, we had a fantastic day: beautiful nature, a very lovely village and countryside, a great 4x4 ride, a nice walk, very nice waterfalls, and a super nice guide.
via Viator
Ricardo made this hike unforgettable
We had the best time on this hiking trip! Ricardo was so open and knowledgeable, making everyone feel seen and part of the group. The trail itself struck a perfect balance, challenging enough to feel like an achievement, but relaxing too. He also made sure the children in our group were well looked after throughout. Cannot recommend enough - Ricardo was an absolute superstar!

Miguel was an amazing...
Miguel was an amazing tour guide and took us around to the best spots!! Definitely do this tour if you’re in the porto area and looking to get out of the city to explore some nature
via Viator
Just do it!
We had a great day and enjoyed our hike, swimming in pristine water holes and lunch with our group. Miguel was patient , kind and entertaining
via Viator
Great waterfalls even better guides!
The walks aren't too long but deffo a bit tricky as per the over reviews. Our guide was amazing and happy to help whenever she could. Only took a star off as the transport isn't that comfortable and not that equipped for families.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.
Is From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,221 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park?
+
Around 427 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Porto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Porto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
