Great trip - My husband and I had the pleasure of having Hernan as our guide. Hernan is very personable, entertaining and knowledgable. We visited many sites with enough free time at each site for a quick look around. The lunch provided exceeded our expectation. Thank you Hernan for a great trip!

Excellent Tour! - Our tour guide Violeta was amazing her knowledge on history was incredible. The small group tour provided a great insight into Braga and Guimarães. We only had 4 people on our tour (2 English, 2 Portuguese) but Violeta was great at making sure she included both languages. Lunch venue was amazing as well. Highly Recommended!!

Braga and Gimaraes Tour - Everything about the tour was memorable- from the beautiful sceneries and culture of the cities, the friendly and helpful people, the food. What made it extra memorable was our tour guide, Violeta Cruz. Violeta was very professional, an expert in her field. She was funny and very animated when discussing a topic and answering our question. She looked after our welfare and comfort. We not only got educated and entertained, we also found a great friend! We will look for Violeta next time around! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
