Traveler reviews
Excellent and very personalized
Excellent experience. Different and very personalized service. All guidance was done in 2 languages, rich in detail and very relaxed. No doubt that we will repeat and super indicate.
Guimarães and Braga
Get to know Braga and its religious traditions and the historic center of Guimarães and all its characteristic charm
Good place to visit
The Guide had fully explain the history during touring. This is the first time of us joining a small group tour. Great experience. We learn a lot of the castle too. Food is really great. Thanks!
Excellent day
This trip to Guimaraes and Braga went very well. Picked up directly in front of our accommodation, on time; minibus/van very comfortable. Special mention to our guide (but also good driver): Isa. She was very good company, spoke French correctly and guided us throughout the day with many explanations and information. In short, I recommend this excursion!
With Luiz in Prague and Guimaraes
Great day, although the guide Luiz, had double work having to tell things in Spanish and English, but made us very enjoyable and was very attentive to the 7 travelers we were. To review, that to the place that took you to eat, Restaurant Mumadona, they behaved great also with us, because in addition to the dishes that they planned, that the rest devoured, being rice and I being intolerant, they put a cooked potatoes, that being dry stick, were even rich and then so that I did not stay hungry, they brought me a steak of beef and chips, that had to give me a hand, but that was very well prepared. This restaurant, very normal looking and central in Guimaraes (Rua Serra Pinto, 260), but very well run and exceptional service. Another point in favor of our guide and Cooltour Porto, for the good choice. If we return to Portugal, we will look for this group for our excursions, they are almost private for real, groups of up to 10 with the guide, perfect.
