Top Porto Bus Tours - page 24

Jose Cardoso was a fabulous tour guide for this exceptional private tour. He was passionate about Portugal and the world in general. He provided the commentary we love to hear when visiting a new country. Our stops along the way for pictures was so appreciated and the winery tour was amazing. We enjoyed a wonderful Portuguese lunch with terrific wine. If you are looking for an experience to see the Duoro River and the mountains full of vineyards, this is the getaway from the cruise port and the large city of Porto. Ask for Jose, he will not disappoint any visitor!

What an Experience! Alfredo was the BEST DRIVER we’ve ever had! He navigated every stop with ease and made us feel like family❣️. Do not hesitate to book this trip from Porto to Lisbon-you get to see 4 more places in Portugal you may not get the chance to see again! THANK YOU ALFREDO FOR A PERFECT DAY!

We had a really perfect day. Our guide Jean was really friendly and had some great knowledge of the area and of wine. The locations - wineries and scenery were beautiful. Lunch was delicious and there was plenty of food and drink. Would highly recommend to anyone, we were really glad we chose to do a smaller group as it was more special and we had a private boat and table for the meal with our group who were all great.

We are happy we did this tour, just a little more experience of Portugal. I had read a little on Braga and we had planned on spending some more time in Porto but when I saw this tour it sounded great. The guide Diogo was young but had good sense and experience, he changed the itinerary to improve the experience and ensure we got the most out of the day. We loved both towns and had lunch in a lovely Italian restaurant but we were spoiled for choice. We particularly liked the cathedral. In all this tour deserves a 5 star review.

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.

I love full-day excursions to several locations including narrated transportation, guided walking tours, and free time to enjoy each place. But very often the descriptions don't match the experience. In this case, Buendia delivered on everything they promised. Despite turning into a cloudy, rainy day once we arrived in Aveiro, our tour guide Maria did not let the weather dampen her enthusiasm, which was infectious. The information she imparted along the way on the bus was fascinating and well-researched, and at each stop she moved at the pace of the group and didn't rush us. Best of all, we had ample free time to savor the ovos moles in Aveiro and enjoy a long, relaxing lunch at one of the town's outdoor restaurants, enjoy the moliceiro boat ride on the canals (with a charming and fun guide), and still walk around and experience this magical town. All that would have made for an excellent tour in itself but then it was on to the iconic striped houses of Costa Nova - with some beach time to boot. Finally we had plenty of time to explore the Capelha do Senhor da Pedra church on the beach. Again, it was just the right combination of guided tour from Maria with free time to experience what we were seeing at our own pace. By the time we returned to Porto there was no doubt this tour not only lived up to but surpassed my expectations. Shoutout to Buendia for running what is quite obviously a professional and caring operation, and our guide Maria Sanchez who made us feel like this was the only group she'd ever guided. It never felt like we were just customers. It felt more like family and friends. I absolutely recommend this and would do it again - and save room for more of those ovos moles!

Very informative tour of the city of Porto. Julianna was very knowledgeable abt the town's history. She showed us the impact historical sites and told us where to go for local specialties as well. We enjoyed her company. It's like talking to an old friend. She is an amazing guide.

Jose was a great guide and worked with our group so we could adjust the tour according to what we were most interested in seeing and doing. He knows Portugal really well and his recommendations for food, etc. were excellent. We really enjoyed the convenience of having a tour tailor-made for us.
