Great trip to Braga and Guimarães! - We had a wonderful tour from Porto to Braga and Guimarães with Jorge. We much prefer the smaller group tour to the large bus tours, and Jose did a great job of navigating us around the larger groups that inevitably are also visiting the area. He was knowledgeable about the history of the region, even adding in local flavor since he was from Braga. Highly recommend!

Best Guide in Porto! - Jorge is the best guide you could wish for on a tour like this. We had an unforgettable trip, learned a lot of new things, laughed a lot and had enough time to take snapshots at the breathtaking spots that Jorge took us to. We met a personable, friendly and very courteous guide. The trip was really fun. And the restaurant he chose was also super authentic. Now we can start our journey home happy. Thank you!😎

Great Day spent Exploring! - The tour was amazing! We had a bit of rainy weather throughout the day but managed to stay dry and had an incredible time with Alex and Liliana. After spending a few days in Porto, we decided to see what else northern Portugal had to offer, and booked *very* last minute…and on a holiday! (Holy Friday). The business was so accommodating in arranging our booking, since we were heading out to our next destination on Saturday morning. The pickup was smooth, and off we went. We managed to hit all the must-see sights, viewpoints, and historic landmarks that Braga and Guimaraes had to offer without feeling rushed. Liliana and Alex were both so knowledgeable about what we were seeing, and we had GREAT conversation all day long! Both were so kind and caring, and funny! Fortunate for us, no other bookings were made on our same day, so it ended up being private after all! (Obviously this cannot be guaranteed regularly) This said, I think booking a private tour would be a great move for anyone considering it, because it really personalizes your experience! Take lots of photos! So beautiful.

Great day tour - Excellent tour with Tour Guide Wilson. Great flexibility in timings and freedom to roam places of interest as much as we liked. Very good lunch in Braga included. Looking forward for more tours with this company.

Great tour--Carla was an ideal tour guide. - Carla did a fabulous job of personalizing our trip/tour, and seemed very aware of everyone's needs/interests, despite a few struggles from patrons along the way. You could tell, she knew her business, was very emotionally intelligent and got us to our destinations on time. We loved her--and so did our children.

Enjoyable, informative tour - Fantastic tour! Even though it was a rainy day the guide Wilson was very accommodating and flexible, so we spent time in different locations depending on how heavy the rain was. The lunch was in a beautiful little cafe, the best food. It would have been nice to have a few more people on the tour, but it was essentially a private tour with us and the guide! A very pleasant day, saw a lot in just one day. Would recommend!
