A day well spent! - Piedro was our guide. He was informative, pleasant, humorous yet always professional. He made us feel like we had insider information because he was so knowledgeable and shared his love of the area and the history with us. Lunch was a lovely little restaurant in Braga. Both towns were wonderful.

Wonderful despite some rain - Bom Jesus was incredible! The views are spectacular and the gardens are impressive. Guimaraes makes you feel very small in this world . Pedro was a wonderful guide, and made a rainy and at times very rainy day feel like fun!

A great day spent exploring Braga and Guimaraes - Antonio was both a knowledgable and accommodating guide and excellent, safe driver of the Mercedes van. The Braga pilgrimage steps and church were stunning and a feast for the eyes. The oldest catholic cathedral in Portugal in the center of Braga was even more stunning and one of the nicest and well preserved cathedrals in Europe. Lunch was a gastronomic experience with local dishes and Vinho Verde served in a very nice restaurant. The birthplace of Portugal is a small well preserved medieval town of Guimarães with a castle , a palace and old town square … the cleanest town in Portugal. The guide was professional, accommodating in times for pickup and a very good driver. Well worth the value for the cost of this experience.

A nice historical tour - What made me choose this tour were the hotel pickup, the included traditional lunch and the small number of participants. The tour focuses mainly on early Portuguese history and includes visiting a few churches and castles as well as a walk in the old town of Braga. Our guide Antonio was a great driver and a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. His manner of communicating with people brought the members of the group together and helped us get to know each other better.

Great day in Braga and Guimaraes - I had a great trip to Braga and Guimarães with our guide, Sergio. He shared the history of the area as we drove to each of the sites, and I learned a lot about Portugal from this day trip. We also had a good lunch in Braga, and had free time to walk around in both cities. I had a great day and would recommend this tour.

Beware of this tour company. - The issue here is that we were supposed to be picked up at our Hotel and at the last minute the tour company decided not to. This is unacceptable, I have a piece of paper with ticket specifying a Hotel pickup. Overall the tour was informative, the lunch selection was not great, but the restaurant was very nice.
