Great tour of Braga and Guimares
My wife and I had a fantastic time on this tour. Nuno was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and answered all of our questions.
A Perfect Douro Valley Wine Tour with an Incredible Guide
Such an amazing wine and cultural day! Our guide, Carlos Fonseca, truly made the trip unforgettable. Porto is very hilly, so the hotel pickup was wonderful, and we loved that the tour was in a small passenger van group. Carlos was able to communicate with us through a built-in microphone, which was especially nice for those of us sitting in the back. The first town we visited was so cute, and we got to try O Doce Fálico de Amarante, which was too funny! Then we had an amazing tawny tasting followed by lunch with table white and red wines included. Our guide even picked up some local candy for us on the way to the river cruise, which was beautiful. Our last stop featured Douro Valley wines and a 10-year white Port tasting. The entire day was wonderful. Carlos was so informative and helpful throughout the tour. I would definitely book again!
Great Tour, Nice Pace
This was a wonderful excursion with a very knowledgeable and patient tour guide. She was very nice as well. Braga and Guimaraes were quaint, beautiful towns with lots of interesting things to see. We were all pretty slow being in our 60's and are guide went out of her way to accommodate us. The tour was 7 people, nice and small. We highly recommend this tour!
This was a wonderful experience.
Our tour guide Bernardo was kind, knowledgeable, and personable. I had a great time seeing the wine region and learning about it. The views were spectacular. The port wine was great and got to learn a lot about it while I drank it.
Highly recommended!
Incredible experience on the tour to Braga and Guimarães. Daniel was an excellent guide, accompanied by Paulo, and being a small group of only 6 people everything felt much more personalized and comfortable. Daniel spoke Spanish perfectly, explained everything very clearly and made the tour very enjoyable and interesting. He was always attentive to us understanding every detail and enjoying the experience to the fullest. Highly recommended!
