Traveler reviews
Great day in Braga and Guimares with Alex
We had a tour of Braga and Guimares today (04 Oct), with Alex as our guide. Alex was right on time to pick us up at the Cruise port. He gave us an overview of the entire day to confirm if we needed/wanted to change anything. Our time in port was shorter than the time originally posted by the cruise line. Alex told us we could still see/visit things as planned and he would make the shorter amount of time work. The towns were beautiful and Alex explained sites perfectly, not to much and not to little information. We could tell he truly loves these cities and his Country. Alex made the entire day fun, informative, and relaxed. Parking was horrible in a few locations, but he made it all work. When we return to this region of Portugal we would definitely book another day with Alex. Thanks for everything Alex!
Excellent Day Trip
Christian was excellent with knowledge and managing the agenda proactively to adjust for weather and duration. Walking kept to a minimum and he engaged the whole bus very well. Pedro the driver was skilled and delivered a smooth ride in tight spaces.
Fun and informative tour of two beautiful cities with a lot of history
Alex was great! Very knowledgeable and thoughtful.
Great.
The tour of Braga and Guimarães with the guide Bernardo was excellent. He was very attentive, friendly and explained the history of the places in a clear and interesting way. We really liked the experience and recommend the tour. Thank you, Bernardo!
