The trip was amazing. Nuno was even more amazing. My mom left her wallet in town and realized this 30 minutes after the fact and he turned around and went back and got her purse. We loved spending the day with him. He was very accommodating to our family. What an awesome human!
AMAZING time! I can not recommend this tour enough. It is perfect for the day and an experience many people do not know about!
We had a great day out on the boat. Our host/guide Nuno was very friendly and hospitable. He made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed the tour of the caves on the boat and the cove beach. The food at the restaurant was also 5 stars🤩
Diego was a great tour, fun, told us stories, very nice. He was very accommodating too and was a great time
Diego made this tour an unforgettable experience for my husband and myself. Diego knew so much history of Peniche and Berlengas. He showed us many areas of Berlengas that others may not know about. We highly recommend this tour and it was worth every penny. Thank you, Diego!
The best experience I’ve ever had visiting such a beautiful island! Our tour guide Diego was amazing. My group was small (3 people) which made it more intimate. I loved the scenery, lunch was divine, and the water is crystal clear. Highly recommend!
Our guide was amazing and kind. He ran the Tour very well. I think his name is Nunu. He was very helpful letting me hold his arm as we walked down some steep walkways. The island and the caves are so interesting as is the Fort. If you are even slightly inclined to get seasick however..Please take your Dramamine before you get on the catamaran to go to the island. Many people were sick. I highly recommend this tour and the company
Amazing experience! The island is beautiful and restricted in how many people can get in, but is so worth it. Prepare for a a bit of hike, and stunning views. Our guide Nuno was excellent host, we would highly recommend this trip 😀
Do not miss this trip! Tony was an excellent guide and we had such a wonderful day exploring the island and hanging out at the beach. It was one of the best days we spent in the 2 week trip to Portugal
Amazing visit to this protected island. The views and Fort were expertly narrated by our guide. We wished the glass bottom boat ride was longer. Note: the initial climb up to the top of the hill is difficult. Do not wear sandals. There are also 300 stairs to descend to the fort.
