Una pasada, Cris fue la mejor guia que podíamos tener nos llevó a un grupo que tenía que hablar en español y en inglés, consiguiendo que no nos faltara información y que todos nos sintiéramos incluidos. Al llegar unas mochilas con refrigerios para el camino, una caminata amena y para finalizar la oferta de poderte bañar en el río. Por cierto no quiero olvidarme del conductor del Jeep, que nos devolvió al inicio, gracias por ese viaje fue el culmen a un bonito día. Translate this opinion into English.

Cris was the best guide we could have hoped for. She led us into a group that had to speak both Spanish and English, ensuring we had plenty of information and everyone felt included. Upon arrival, we received backpacks with snacks for the road, a pleasant hike, and finally, the offer of a swim in the river. By the way, I don't want to forget the Jeep driver who took us back to the start. Thank you for that trip, it was the culmination of a beautiful day. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvimos con Barbara y es un placer haber estado con ella. Se nota que le gusta mucho lo que hace y da explicaciones muy interesantes. El recorrido merece mucho la pena aunque no pudimos hacerlo entero por los incendios. Es importante llevar buen calzado, algo para comer y agua. Y es una gran sorpresa poder bañarse en el río. Translate this opinion into English.

We were with Barbara, and it was a pleasure to be with her. You can tell she really loves what she does and gives very interesting explanations. The tour is well worth it, although we couldn't do it all because of the fires. It's important to wear good shoes, something to eat, and water. And it's a great surprise to be able to swim in the river. Opinion translated. Show original.

El puente 516 Arouca impresionante , no apto para personas con vértigo, pero mirando al frente sin detenerte puedes hacerlo . Merece mucho la pena, recomendable 100% la experiencia de cruzarlo . Los Pasadizos del Pavia magnífico, 8 kilómetros con dos paradas por paisajes increíbles . Nuestra guía Bárbara, hace honor a su nombre, siendo un placer hacerla con ella, sus explicaciones abundan en el conocimiento del bello entorno . Y una playa fluctúa que se agradece para darte un baño o refrescarte Translate this opinion into English.

The impressive 516 Arouca Bridge is not suitable for people with vertigo, but you can do it by looking straight ahead without stopping. It's well worth it, I highly recommend the experience of crossing it. The Pavia Passages are magnificent, 8 kilometers with two stops for incredible landscapes. Our guide, Barbara, lives up to her name and is a pleasure to travel with. Her explanations abound in her knowledge of the beautiful surroundings. And the beach is a welcome change of pace, a welcome place to take a dip or cool off. Opinion translated. Show original.

Aunque hacia mucho calor, Bárbara había colocado árboles estratégicamente colocados en los lugares de las explicaciones del entorno, también adaptaron el itinerario cogiendo un atajo para evitar 500 escaleras de subida. Hicimos una parada a mitad de camino en una zona de baño tranquila y muy bonita donde recuperar fuerzas. Todo el paisaje era precioso y el puente 516 muy impresionante. En el inicio y final de la actividad hay un lugar de baño muy agradable y un restaurante. Muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Although it was very hot, Barbara had strategically placed trees at the locations where the local information was provided. They also adapted the route by taking a shortcut to avoid climbing 500 stairs. We stopped halfway through at a quiet and beautiful swimming area to recharge our batteries. The entire landscape was beautiful, and Bridge 516 was very impressive. There was a very pleasant swimming area and a restaurant at the start and end of the activity. Highly recommended.

A atividade da excursão correu muito bem. Foi uma experiência muito bonita e altamente recomendável. No entanto, tivemos uma má experiência: recebemos uma mensagem na noite anterior à excursão, a uma hora tão tardia que já estávamos a dormir. Por isso, só vimos o aviso na manhã seguinte, informando que a atividade iria começar meia hora mais cedo. Chegar a tempo exigiu muito esforço da nossa parte e ficámos bastante desapontados com a falta de consideração, especialmente tendo em conta que esta

Lamentamos sinceramente que a notificação sobre a atividade não tenha chegado em tempo hábil. Agradecemos o seu feedback e ficamos satisfeitos em saber que, apesar do atraso, você conseguiu aproveitar a atividade sem maiores intercorrências. Estamos tomando as medidas necessárias para revisar e melhorar nosso processo de envio de notificações.
