Overview

This is the best day tour from Porto to the Arouca 516 Suspension. With a very convenient pick-up from central Porto you will head straight to Arouca. In Arouca there is a brief stop where you are invited to taste the local specialities, enjoy the green area just outside the monastery and to get ready for the connection between Arouca and the 516 Arouca. Around 20 minutes after departing from Arouca we reach the bridge and the Paiva Walkways! For the next 3 to 4 hours (depending on the pace of the group, weather conditions, picture times, etc.) you will spend your time crossing the bridge and walking along the Paiva river in a wooden walkway. After this great hike we follow a mountain road for 15 minutes and have lunch in a family owned restaurant in Alvarenga! The ride back to Porto will last for around 90 minutes. Be brave! Join us!

Beautiful Scenic Hike

Published on Dec, 2024

The scenery along the hike was beautiful and crossing the suspension bridge was an amazing experience. Petito was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and driver. An excellent lunch at a local restaurant was also included and featured plenty of good food.

Best tour ever!

Published on Nov, 2024

Petito was our tour guide to the Arouca Suspension Bridge and Paiva Walkway. Petito was an excellent guide, enthusiastic and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of the region. The tour itself was incredible and well-organized with Petito taking care of every detail to ensure our comfort and safety. Lunch was included and delicious, and they accommodated to our food preferences. Best tour ever! And Petito also a great driver!

Enjoyed the beautiful day , great walk and Arouca was unbelievable . The lunch was top notch. Driving thru the small towns and mountains were gorgeous . Great to get out of the city for a day

Highly recommend

Published on Nov, 2024

Everything was great! Diogo was a perfect guide, sharing interesting information and answering all my questions. Additionally, Detours was very responsive and handled all issues in the best way possible. I also want to note that, while the lunch description only mentioned meat, there were various options available, including vegetarian and pescatarian choices.

Lovely walk in the air and along the river

Published on Oct, 2024

This was such a fun tour. Our guide Ana was incredibly friendly and so well informed about our destinations. She answered all our questions and made everything so enjoyable. The Arouca suspension bridge is an experience not to be missed. The guides were very alert and safety conscious while giving everyone lots of time to take pictures and ask questions Lunch was at a fantastic restaurant where we got to sample authentic Portuguese fare. Everything smelled and tasted so good! Unfortunately wildfires in the area last month affected the Paiva walkway so we were only able to do half the distance. We were still able to enjoy a nice walk along the river without feeling rushed
