At the heart of Portugal's history - Beautiful discovery of Bom Jesus do Monte, nearly 600 steps in the rain to discover a perfectly preserved sanctuary. The valuable information of our guides, Sergio and André, allowed us to follow the architectural richness of the Way of the Cross and fountains filled with symbols. Impressive Braga with its cathedral, its large sumptuous organs (nice surprise of an organist in full rehearsal) and chapels of various styles. In Guimarães, the Moorish fortress adjoins the Burgundy castle and the small streets are full of elegant and delicious shops. The capricious weather did not prevent us from enjoying the day to the fullest.

VIP experience! - The guide Sergio was perfect! Punctual, picked us up in the apartment and passed very interesting information about the cities and historical points. The lunch at the restaurant was delicious! With an entry soup, main dish, dessert and coffee. On the way back to the city of Porto, he even gave a tour tip that we had not gone. Super comfortable and new car. I definitely recommend!

Braga and Guimares - It was a rainy and misty day! These were however the best and optimal conditions to experience castles and cathedrals. Ambiance makes these storied places come alive. Alexandre as a guide brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the tour and made each stop memorable. Thank you!

Great places to visit, but wish had different guide - We loved what we saw but our tour guide was a ranter. Never stopped talking about the effect of non-native trees on Portugal's forests. So very random. But we loved the places we visited.
