It‘s not clear, if the suspension bridge is part or upgrade or possible on the tour. In the description is nothing, but on the photos. I asked the question via viator, but no answer! But the tour itself was good. I didnt like the long blabla before getting on the bridge.

Exceptional day tour from Porto with our guide Diogo. Communication was on point from the word go with Diogo messaging us before we were picked up. Walking the board walks through the national park was breathe taking, culminating in the suspension bridge over the gorge. We were then taken in the mini bus to a local restaurant for a fantastic steak meal with as much wine as you could drink. It was a small group and we had a lot of laughter at the restaurant. All in all a trip to remember 😃The walkways were amazing but the suspension bridge is not to be missed. What an outstanding build in the most beautiful valley overlooking the river.

The walkways were amazing but the suspension bridge is not to be missed. What an outstanding build in the most beautiful valley overlooking the river. The guides were very informative of the origination and the local support. The care to miminize the walkway is notable. But I would like to end this review with the outstanding local guide named Joao. His knowledge of botany and geology was tremendously valuable. His local interesting insights were infused all along the way culitmating in a delicious lunch. Meeting other travelers is always fun. Joao also took the time to do a small side trip to a beautiful church in Aroucha. Please...don't miss this one of a kind tour!
