Wonderful Tour - A lovely day sightseeing with our guide Maria. From the moment she picked us up from our hotel to the moment she dropped us off she was such good company and took care of us all. Braga & Guimaraes were both wonderful places to visit especially Bom Jesus. I highly recommend this tour company.

Best "off the beaten track" - We've spent two weeks in Porto, Lisbon and the Douro and wanted to get out of town. This was the perfect tour. We learned a lot more about Portugal's history, made some new friends, had a great lunch, and experienced a local festival, all with the help of a terrific local guide in his very comfortable car.

Despite today being a... - Despite today being a completely rainy day, this tour ended up being a highlight of my trip thanks to our fantastic guide, George. To be honest, the poor weather definitely drained my energy a bit, but George’s incredible enthusiasm completely made up for the gloomy skies. He shared tons of fascinating history and deep background stories behind every single place we visited. His massive wealth of knowledge really filled all the gaps left by the rain and kept us all thoroughly engaged. Beyond his historical expertise, George went completely out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves despite the wet conditions. Kudos to George for giving it his all—he turned what could have been a miserable, washed-out day into a highly memorable and educational adventure. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to get George as your guide!

Braga and Guimaraes Day Tour - A wonderful tour to Braga and Guimarães with our awesome guide, Nuno! Even though he’s only been on the job for two weeks, he handled the tour with confidence, warmth, and great knowledge. Our first stop at Bom Jesus was absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to start the day. Braga’s religious charm and Guimarães’ rich history made a great combination, and the food trip in Braga was awesome. Nuno made the whole experience fun and memorable — highly recommended!
