 *   Amazing day at the Peneda-Geres national park - My mom and I booked the
   tour from our accommodation in Braga, and were picked up by the great guide
   Pedro. From the beginning of the drive he was very... read more attentive to
   what we wanted to see and experience, and our day was beautiful! The great
   nature sights, springs, waterfalls and local villages were charming, and all
   the knowledge of the local history and ecosystem provided by Pedro really
   enhanced the experience. The tour was a full day and we couldn't keep the
   smiles off our faces for a second- truly magnificent!

     Small group tour - Pedro collected us at our campground at Lima Escape
   (clamping highly recommend as a base). He is very friendly and personal and
   tries to take into account individual wishes... read more for the tour. He
   has all kinds of expert knowledge in the history of the area the and can tell
   you all about the different plants and animal life too. He took us to a very
   authentic restaurant, make sure to tell him about any dietary issues as he
   can arrange that too. He’s very friendly and easy to talk to an overall we
   had a great time, Area is absolutely breathtaking beautiful. Do not try to do
   it without a guide!!! Drive is challenging and you really will benefit from
   having the narrative that goes with it.

     Gerês Tour - Couple travelling with 3 year old toddler - We spent a most
   wonderful day in the company of Pedro and Rita visiting the Geres National
   Park and its beautiful rivers, lakes and mountains. We were picked up
   perfectly... read more on time at our hotel in Braga with a spacious SUV
   equipped with a child seat and were greeted with a snack bag for every
   participant, such a nice touch. Pedro brilliantly tailored our day according
   to our interests (for us, wild swimming and gentle hikes - he succeeded in
   finding places that would make us adults go wow whilst being accessible and
   enjoyable also by a toddler, not an easy task!). We had lunch in a charming
   and delicious local restaurant. Pedro and Rita are passionate (about their
   job, the region and sustainable traveling), and eager to share their infinite
   knowledge. To top it all off, Pedro is great with kids: our daughter
   (normally a very difficult customer) was just delighted. When booking, I
   thought the price point was steep. When the day was over, I felt I had
   underpaid. Our expectations were met and exceeded. We would not hesitate to
   recommend this activity.

 *   Although we started the trip in a foggy and raining day, our tour guider,
   Pedro, filled the trip with a lot of interesting staff, from local history to
   wildlife,... read more animal and plants. We, my husband and I, are both not
   outdoor type and learned a lot from Pedro. Have you sit in a hot spring in a
   raining day? We did. It was quite interesting experience. The lunch was in a
   small local restaurant, but the food was fresh and amazing. Thanks Pedro and
   Rita to arrange this wonderful tour.

     Gerês trip - Several family members were visiting Porto and my sister in
   law and I wanted to get out of the city, so I booked a Gerês Park tour on Get
   Your... read more Guide, which subcontracts to Keen Tours.
   
   We were picked up in Porto by Pedro. He first asked us what our interests
   were—I said the Iberian wolf and Allison stated she just wanted to see the
   park.
   
   Pedro obviously knew his way around the park and he organizes the tour based
   on interest and fitness level of his group. He only does private tours, so
   these are not mixed with other travelers.
   
   We drove to a remote area of the park & hiked up huge rocky escarpements to
   the shepherds corral. Although, as expected, I did not see a wolf, I saw many
   wolf tracks in the bog and some scat! The vistas from the mountain area & the
   corral were simply amazing. We saw NO other people during our hike in this
   beautiful wilderness. After an invigorating jaunt, we went to a local place
   for a traditional abundant lunch, even including vino verde. In the
   afternoon, we had a driving tour of the park stopping to see the Roman
   milestones and waterfalls. To top off our day, just after sunset, we went to
   Spain (an unexpected additional country!) to soak in the hot springs under
   the full moon.
   
   There is a bit of driving as Porto is about an hour’s drive from Gerês Park.
   That’s the only downside, but it was punctuated by friendly conversations
   with Pedro. Pedro is exceptionally well educated on natural history, politics
   and the environment. Pedro and his wife Rita, own Keen tours and I can attest
   that this is a company that any socially conscious traveler can support.
   
   Keen Tours was a highlight of our experience in Portugal and I would highly
   recommend this company (pro tip—schedule directly with Keen Tours for the
   best value)

 *   2yrs ago I had a private tour with Pedro and Rita of Keen Tours
   When in June I moved permanently to Braga, first thing was to get in touch
   with... read more them to see if they did tours on regular basis..they sure
   do..and now a month in did already 3 with them..with 2 more scheduled.
   They are super knowledgeable, each hike is in a different place, they know
   history of the area, know locals and places not normally frequented by other
   people and tours. Each time is new, exciting and exhilarating. They always
   know special spots for dips in the rivers and near waterfalls, hidden in
   magical spots..with Covid they provide masks as they are very invironment
   aware. Special friendly people. I have also experienced their picnics..wow.

     Fabulous Tour - With organizational help from Rita, my wife and I enjoyed a
   fantastic tour of Penedes-Geres with Pedro. He listened carefully to our
   preferences and arranged our tour accordingly. ... read more We hiked,
   plunged in a pool, and enjoyed local food. We saw, did and learned so much
   that we never otherwise would have without Pedro's insight. We can't
   recommend Keen and Pedro highly enough.

     Canyoning trip,full day - We had to alter our booking for kayaking down the
   river in Porto, due to lack of water for safe passage along the river. We
   opted to try canyoning, ... read more and it turned out to be a superb day.
   From the beginning all communication with Keen Tours was prompt, professional
   and friendly. The day of our trip, we were collected promptly and driven in
   comfort to the remote rural villages in the Geres national park. Our guide
   was Pedro, who had an amazing knowledge and very obvious love of the area and
   it's flora fauna and people. He was brilliant. Our canyoning expert guide was
   Carlos, who was equally proficient in his field, and though we were novice,
   was very patient with us, and relaxed professional and so good at getting all
   the gear set up, he made it look easy which I know it wasn't.
   We had such good fun canyoning down the river, and a lovely tour of the local
   area, seeing the villages and wild ponies, also a delicious hearty meal, made
   with local produce in a great little restaurant. Highly recommend this tour
   company. I only wish we were here longer and could go and do some stuff with
   them. I have no doubt it would be brilliant. Priceless memories. Thanks

 *   Incredible day out - would give 6 stars if I could! - This was an
   incredible tour - our guide Pedro was extremely kind, fun, knowledgeable and
   accommodating of everything me and my partner wanted to do and see - even
   returning... read more to our hotel to return an item we left in the car!
   
   We saw some amazing places that we would never have been able to find on our
   own, not too off the beaten track (we are not the best hikers) but still away
   from the crowds which we were very impressed by given it was August and there
   were lots of tourists in the park in general.
   
   We were able to do everything that we wanted to as well as see some of the
   most beautiful and interesting spots we didn't even know existed! Pedro was
   able to answer all of the long list of questions we had from culture,
   geology, history and everything in between!
   
   We also had a wonderful lunch (and goodie bag filled with locally made
   treats) which is one of the best meals we've had in Portugal. Even my
   partner's more restrictive dietary requirements were catered for which was a
   big relief to us!
   
   We could never have toured the national park like we did without Pedro's
   insight and will certainly be asking for another tour when we return!

 *   A delightful hike in Geres. - Rita and Pedro run a conscientious tour
   company where they tailor the day to the wishes of the customer. In my case I
   wanted to go on a long hike... read more in Geres followed by a visit to Bom
   do Jesus. Rita and Pedro went way above and beyond to give me everything I
   asked for. Pedro knows and loves this area of Portugal. With a Masters degree
   in geology he is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. On our
   hike we saw wild horses being chased by 3 wolves being chased by dogs who
   were protecting the goatherd. We also had an interesting encounter with the
   shepherd. I could say much more. But to summarize do not hesitate to hire
   them to explore the area!

   Nice and clean horse riding school!

   producers to sell their products. Very heartwarming.

     We had an amazing tour experience in Geres even in a rainy day! The guide
   Pedro is such a pleasant, knowledgeable and considerate person. He brought us
   to different view... read more spots that you can appreciate the variety of
   this national park. On the way, he gave very informative introduction about
   area including it’s culture and history. It was unlucky that it rained the
   whole day, but surprisingly we see a very special image of the park and
   enjoyed it a lot! We recommended this to everyone!
