Must do with Gisela. - Braga is a close by city, easily accessible by car. The roads and parking are best with a tour guide. Gisela speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about the sites visited and Portuguese culture. I would book another tour with her any day. Will recommend to my friends.

Our Tour Guide Joao was Great - Loved our tour guide Joao, so knowledgeable and helpful. The van was super comfortable and well air conditioned. It's a full day with lots of walking and the day we went it was quite warm, but still a very enjoyable day. In 2 special towns in Northern Portugal
Thanks again

Excellent full day Braga and Guimaraes guided tour. - Our guide João, was really insightful and knowledgeable about both cities and went out of his way to explain interesting aspects and historical facts. Many items would have gone unnoticed without his enthusiastic comments.

Fabulous small group tour - We did the tour with João, he shared fascinating historical facts, local anecdotes and insights that truly brought the destination to life.
The pace of the tour was just right, allowing us to soak in the sights without feeling rushed.
João went above and beyond by providing tips on dining & activities for our ongoing trip
I highly recommend this tour.
