Lousa Mountain Private Tour

An incredible afternoon seeing the beautiful villages in Lousa and surrounds. It was a difficult day as there were wildfires in Portugal so while we couldn’t access the usual tour sites, I don’t feel like I missed out in any way as Alfredo made sure he gave us the best possible experience - we saw deer too!

Our host was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the region and Portugal history generally. He took us ALL OVER the mountains looking for the much elusive deer! We spotted about six, including a very large buck! We got to hike a bit in a beautiful forest as well. And, of course, the tour wouldn’t be complete without the visit to the schist village! Quaint and pretty. I highly recommend this tour BUT be sure that you/your group is prepared for hours of off-roading, dust, and being inside a diesel vehicle for very long stretches of time, and on windy roads! This is rustic….

Fun and exciting. The guide was very experienced in the region and took us to many under the radar locations. Lots of sightseeing and wildlife around the area, which is not crowded with tourists. Lovely restaurant as well. Definetly recommend.

Fun day, fabulous guide.

I did the full day experience and truly enjoyed it.

I thought there would be more hiking, there wasn’t, but good experience going off road. Beautiful views. Enjoyed visiting remote areas I would not have otherwise experienced.

We had an exceptionally great time on our trip! Our guides were awesome and very knowledgeable about the area! They took through the mountains and we saw deer and wild boar! Very exciting. Then they took us to a shale village. What a wonderful experience!thanks you, we will recommend this trip to others!

Alfredo was so knowledgeable and tailored the day for us! We had a fabulous time in the Lousa mountains, visiting the schist villages and then at the Roman Ruins! Highly recommend

Our tour started early. We saw a lot of deers. Alfredo drove us all over Mount Lousa to look for the deer. It was fogy morning so animals looked mysterious between the trees. Very pleasant morning and very much recommended trip.

Alfonso did a great job showing me this wonderful place of nature. With his Jeep we could go off road on the hiking trails. We also walked a little.

Although it was quite hot we saw some deers: Alfonso knows the spots. I had a great time.

The views from the top of the mountain were beautiful. We saw fox and many deer. The schist village was amazing! The guide, Alfredo was friendly and knowledgeable. It was obvious that he loved showing off his homeland.

This is a great tour for people who like to get out of the city and into the mountains. We saw deer and wild boar. The scenery is spectacular, the vehicle is comfortable and the guide is knowledgeable. Was fun to go off road in the forest and walk a little. The drive to the mountain takes about 40 minutes. Remember it’s a wild area, not a zoo, so seeing the animals is not guaranteed!
