7.Ponte de Lima Guided Buggy Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $181

Self-drive buggy tour from Ponte de Lima to Viana do Castelo via Serra da Nó, guided in English, with big valley views and dusty fun.

“This was a fun way to get off the beaten track. It takes you up into the hills and dirt tracks in the mountains south of Ponte de Lima. We saw wild horses and beautiful views! The tour guide was great and spoke English well. The meeting location was easy to find in Google maps. It can be very dusty, so recommend going in the morning when it’s cooler and on a weekday when they have fewer guests/ buggies. Definitely but the buff do an extra 2 euros, and wear the goggles. Don’t plan to do anything right after this tour as you need to get back to your hotel…”
