Great tour and an awesome guide! - Great experience from the initial contact to the drop off at the end. Our guide, Ricardo, was friendly and professional. He was extremely flexible to adjust the schedule to the weather. The tour was well organized, the transportation was first rate. On the tour itself, he was very knowledge on the history of the old town and sites of Guimarães. The trip up to the Penha area was an unexpectedly gem of a stop. The folks from Kansas highly recommend this tour.
