A day in Braga - Most enjoyable day. Well paced. Vitoe was informative without swamping us with too much info. Also made sure us older visitors were OK on the long staircase to top at Bom Jesus.. Included lunch was delicious.

Portugal vacation - We had an amazing day in Braga and Guimares. Our guide Vito Alves was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He treated us to a real Portuguese meal in a family owned and run restaurant. We highly recommend him as a guide. E.fun tours provided comfortable transportation.

Memorable Braga & Guimarães - Fantastic full day tour with the best tour guide we have ever experienced! Rita was super knowledgable, attentive and kind. We were in a group of 4 with two elderly ladies (my mum and her best friend). Rita tailored the tour around our needs and walking abilities. Lunch was an experience in itself, we felt like a local Portuguese family. The car was very comfortable, spacious and new. Can’t rate this tour high enough, worth every single euro paid. Thank you Rita for such a memorable day.

Braga and Guimaraes day trip - Vitor is a excellent driver and good storyteller. He finds the best local food in Guimaraes. The weather was cloudy and rainy that day but he tried to keep us dry as possible.

Spend a day with a friend - A wonderful day getting to know more about the history of Portugal. It was like going on a day trip with a friend who wanted to show you the interesting parts of her neighborhood. Juliana was friendly and gracious and very knowledgeable. Pick-ups and drop-offs were easy and speedy. There was no rushing about - Juliana understood the interest and abilities of everyone in our group and kept us active and engaged. Thank you ♡
