We had a great time with Joao!

Jeffrey_B, Sep 2025

We contacted Viator before our trip to ask if we could shorten the excursion a bit in order to make it back to our cruise ship on time. Our guide Joao responded and was very accommodating, as he even planned to start the day earlier, so we had the most time for our excursion. He suggested modifying the trip a bit to include time in Porto, which was perfect. We began by walking the grounds of the Bom Jesus Sanctuary, which was why we chose this excursion. The grounds of this area, as well as the cathedral, were just amazing to see. Then, Joao took us to explore the beautiful city of Braga, and we stopped for lunch. We said we were happy to experiment and try the local food, so Joao suggested trying roasted kid goat (we think it was called cabrito). We're glad we did, because it was delicious. We also tried a giant prawn dish, which tasted sort of like lobster to us. Then, we had time to explore the city of Porto and take in the stunning view from the bridge over the Douro River. We had a lovely day in Braga and Porto, and it felt like we were just sort of hanging out with our Portuguese pal Joao for the day. Thank you!

Terrific Day

The entire trip was wonderful! Joao is an excellent guide who shared the lovely area with us. Great personality.

Great tour

Very nice trip, starting in Porto with stops in Matosinhos, Ponte de Lima, and Braga. The sites are so beautiful and so much history. Our guide Joao was great, knowledgeable, happy to tell us all about the plqces to see, very accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour, and specially Joao as a guide.
