A perfect day trip to Braga and Guimaraes - I was extremely impressed with this trip! From the time our driver arrived to pick us up, he was very polite , respectful and friendly. He had immense knowledge of the history at each stop we traveled. He was patient with our many questions, and his charm was enjoyable. I learned so much about the history of Portugal on this trip. Very comfortable ride, and we really enjoyed the wonderful lunch. I highly recommend.

Spectacular - The tour was wonderful! The punctuality, the comfort of the car, the dedication and courtesy of João Nuno, his competence, No doubt, we will indicate the Enterprise and, if possible, we will choose João when we return to Porto.

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.
