My husband and I are...
My husband and I are traveling with our two sons- ages 15 and 11. We booked this excursion for the last day of our trip, and what a grand finale! It was amazing. Ricardo is knowledgeable, welcoming, kind and accommodating. Both cities were beautiful. The food we ate was fabulous and the tours were incredible. Highly recommend! Completely worth the money!

A "must-do" day trip from Porto!
My wife and I were joined by two French speakers and to our surprise, our Portuguese driver & tour guide was able to effortlessly speak to us in both languages! I did not catch her name, but our tour was on time, driving and narration were great and she gave us enough free time to explore things on our own in both locations. Top notch.

George was our guide....
George was our guide. Very professional with a wealth of knowledge to share. The place he took us for lunch was very good

Nice day trip
Being able to get to visit both of these interesting sites was a great experience. We were in Porto for a month and was glad to be able to venture further.

Fantastic tour with Miguel
This was an amazing tour. Miguel was so knowledgeable about the history of Braga and Guimeres and took us to some stunning churches and castles. We have a fantastic lunch at Maria's restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great guide, great first stop…
Jorge was a great guide. Informative, engaging, always ready with an answer to a question. Kept us on schedule with clear directions, had a great lunch set up for us. I’ll say though, the experience felt a little weak esp after the second location (Guimaraes) just wasn’t worth the travel IMO.

A great tour
Thoroughly enjoyed our day tour with Ricardo. He was very good at the history of the areas and explaining it to us and conveyed the grey areas of history as well.
Well worth doing and a completely different tour away from Central Porto. Places we would not have gone without this tour but loved them both!

Portugal History
It was a great experience to learn more of the history of Portugal. Chris had a wealth of knowledge to share and was outstanding to work with.

Great tour!
This was a great tour! Antonio was great adding history as well as current information. We had plenty of time to enjoy all the sites and being a private tour made it even better because we were able to set our own pace! Definitely do this tour!!!

Great tour!
From beginning to end on time service pick up and our tour guide Miguel S. was exceptional. Miguel was knowledgeable and knows his history regarding Portugal and then some! The restaurant Daniel was absolutely lovely and the food was delicious! We wish we had more time to shop! So many quaint little shops to explore! Excellent day! Thank you Miguel!

David, excellent tour guide
David was excellent—very knowledgeable, friendly, and provided great service. To reach the top of the church, you need to climb a long flight of stairs. If you’re unable to do that, David offered alternative routes so we could avoid the long, steep climb. The tour itself is simple, but David made it engaging and enjoyable. All of his recommendations made the visit much more memorable and enhanced the overall experience.

Great tour
I had a really great day on this tour. Both cities are beautiful and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were only three people so it was like a private tour and I really enjoyed that. I recommend this tour.
