Great tour of Braga and Guimareãs! - Our driver George was great. He was very knowledgeable and made it an enjoyable day touring. We toured with our 2 young adult daughters. They really enjoyed the experience as well.

Favorite Tour and Day of our Entire Porto Trip - This ended up being our favorite day of the trip! The two stops were unexpectedly gorgeous and interesting, and our guide Pedro was so genial and informative. He gave a great tour at each stop with extra time to show ourselves around, and our authentic Portugese lunch was fantastic! We couldn't have had a better time. Both towns were so beautiful and we felt like we were in another world for the day. The timing and structure was also perfect, and we really appreciated being able to select hotel pickup/dropoff.

Excellent guided tour with surprisingly good lunch - Jorge was an excellent guide on this small group tour of six of us. He admirably dealt with a blown tyre on the minibus whilst we were touring Braga. Luckily he was a local so got it fixed in record time. Jorge gave us lots of useful info about the history of Braga and the special relationship between England and Portugal going right back to C13. We had an excellent lunch at the Diana restaurant. Better than I had expected. If you go there do have the fish main course. Beautifully cooked sea bass and much better value than the pork dish. The tour allowed lots of time for sightseeing alone. The tour of the extra areas of the cathedral in Braga were well worth it, especially the High Choir and dual organ pipes. Would certainly recommend even thought it’s a little more pricey than other tours (but I bet the lunch is better than on other tours).

Don’t book - Worst tour ever, guide was great, way to much time driving in between location. Then getting back too late to have dinner at a reasonable time! Don’t book

My favorite moment was... - My favorite moment was “and in this room we have some furniture.” Not the depth of understanding we expected. We still got to see some amazing stuff.
