Richardo was a wonderful guide-very knowledgable, friendly, funny and very energetic! Riding in Portugal is not for the faint of heart be it taxi drivers or Richardo🤪Van was clean ..little tight for 8 people. Adequate time in both locations and the highlight of the trip was lunch at a local restaurant! The food and wine plentiful and delicious! My husband loved that he got to finally found and dined on tripe! (Other choices were offered too!) Definitely recommend this trip and Richardo! Obrigata!!

We enjoyed the trip. Our guide Sergio gave us a lot of information about Braga and Guimaraes. It was a good chance to see these cities in one day. The bus was very comfortable and the food in local restaurant was delicious. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic! Everything about the day was fantastic. Fortunately for us we were the only three people on the tour so it was like our own private tour. Our guide (sorry I can't remember his name now) was superb. His knowledge on every place we visited was great. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte was our first stop and was shrouded in mist which was beautiful. Lunch at Diana in Braga was lovely. And we all learnt a bit of Portugese history on our visit to Guimaraes. All in all a fantastic day. Could not recommend highly enough.
