Worth visiting, especially with children.
Great experience and very friendful staff. We have visited factory of pencils, it was really exciting for the children and for us as well. You do not have often possibility to visit real production facility and to see how everyday products are made.

I recently went to visit the company "Bulhosas", within the scope of Industrial Tourism, and I loved it. As for the company, the things that are done there are fantastic... and innovative. As for the organization of the visit, by Turismo Industrial de São João da Madeira, very good. I recommend it to all age groups. I will certainly return with students.

Magnificent discovery from the past!
In 2013, we went on an extraordinary study visit with students who were enchanted by this trip to the past!
I'm back and I hope to come back again!

Senior group visits
Possibility to choose a package of very interesting guided tours of the local industry. We really enjoyed the Hat Museum, where you can see the entire evolutionary process of hat production, as well as sharing experiences with a former worker from one of the extinct hat factories.
