Paiva Walkways and Arouca suspension bridge tour - absolutely recommended <3 - We booked the Paiva Walkways and Arouca suspension bridge tour. It was a wonderful experience. Our driver Sergio was such a lively, amazing and funny person from the minute we met. He made us feel happy and relaxed. Our guide Kristina was also top, explaining things and taking pictures along the way which were sent via mail afterwards. She also took care that everybody could follow at own pace without rushing. To reach the bridge, we had to go up but it was worth every step. After the visit to the bridge, the walk on Paiva Walkways was going down all the way. After the hike, we had a coffee and sweets stop in Arouca with Sergio. When saying goodbye, it felt like leaving friends. We surely recommend this tour for 200%. Thanks so much for the marvelous day!

An unique trip - The view was amazing. It is a trip that should not be missed when visiting Porto. The road was not difficult because we skipped the first part of the staiirs and started from the top because of the group members.

Amazing!! - The tour was well organized. Our driver Sergio was excellent on the road and accommodated our limited Portuguese language by making use of Google translate to our own language. Our tour guide thru the suspension bridge and Passadiços do Paiva was knowledgeable of the eco park and patient with our pace. We appreciated that we were provided mini backpacks with snacks and bottled water for the trek. We loved it!!

Highly recommend this tour - We wanted an adventure on our last day in Porto and chose the Paiva Walkways & 516 Arouca Bridge from Just Come through Viator. We met in Porto and drove towards Arouca. We walked 25 minutes to the Suspension Bridge. It was a little intimidating but once we started walking, the sights from high up were exhilarating. We then started walking towards the 8k Paiva walkways. It was mostly down stairs or flat walking with 2 short but a little steep hills (just 25-30 meters). We were rewarded with a nice lunch afterwards. Then drove to a small town for some Portuguese sweets. It was a long day but so glad we opted for this day tour. Participants have the ability to stop walking and get driven to the lunch spot if that is a concern (1 participant stopped at the 4k marker but we met up with him at lunch). Ines, our tour guide, did a great job explaining the history, the nature elements and terrain of the land. Sergio, our driver, was wonderful driving us there, to our desserts, and back to Porto. We highly recommend this tour with Just Come!

Price quality is very mediocre. 2/5 - Price quality is very mediocre. Lunch absolutely not recommended. The hike itself has been halved since last year by the forest fires. The guide was nice though!
