Traveler reviews
Guimaraes and Braga Day Trip
Great experience, good AC, learned a lot about Portgual. Gabriel was a smooth driver and Anabela provided lots of fun stories and energy.
Excellent tour
Our guide Jose was very good, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had enough free time in Braga for Brunch, so don’t worry if you miss breakfast. In your hotel. The coach was comfortable and the journey didn’t take too long. Braga and Guimaraes are beautiful places to visit and the Bom Jesus cathedral just outside Braga is stunning and well worth a visit. I would recommend this tour.
Great day out
Very enjoyable tour,the guide gave us all the imformation needed without rambling along about non related stuff,which made the day educational and relaxing despite the amount of walking required.
Great guide!
Out guide Tanya was amazing! She knew so much about the history and traditions of the places visited. Only slight shame was that we booked an English tour but (presumably because of numbers?) the majority of the group were Spanish, meaning each stop was done in Spanish first, then English, which was quite time consuming and meant there was a fair bit of waiting around.
Essential excursion
Essential excursion if you spend a few days in Porto. It is a full day and there is time to see everything calmly. Our guide Diego gave us a lot of information about the history of Portugal, Braga, and Guimaraes. Also recommendations for getting something to eat during free time. He welcomed us very well at check-in and during the trip he treated us in a very pleasant and polite manner. In addition, our driver Gabriel was always punctual and drove perfectly. Thanks for the day
