Braga & Guimarães Through the Eyes of a Great Guide - We had such a fantastic day exploring Braga and Guimarães with Gonçalo! From start to finish, he was welcoming, friendly, and full of positive energy. His knowledge of the history, culture, and traditions of both cities was incredible, and the way he told the stories really brought everything to life. We learned so much, but it never felt overwhelming—he made it engaging and fun the whole way through. Highly recommend this tour!

Great. - I went with my parents and we really liked it. There were 3 more people who spoke another language, but the guide Sergio was great in communication with the two groups (Portuguese/English). The cities are beautiful and the roadmap is well planned. The lunch was excellent. I recommend!

Excellent informational tour! - Amazing trip seeing all the sites in Coimbra and Aveiro. Our guide, Rui, was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information about the history of the sites. Since it was only the two of us, Rui was able to customize the trip based on our requests. We really wanted to ride in a Molicero in Aveiro, which was not normally included in the trip. Rui made it happen, which we very much appreciated. Definitely recommend this tour for those who want to learn about the history of this region!

An Incredible Day Tour! - We loved that it was a small group. We really had the opportunity to get to know the people in our group. George was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and so friendly and accommodating. All of us spoke English but one group member whom he spoke Portuguese to, keeping us all fully informed at each point of the trip. He was able to make everyone feel included and so welcome. We would highly recommend the tour of Braga and Guimarães which were both incredible to see. If you’re lucky you’ll get George as your guide.

Really worthwhile tour - Very knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He went the extra mile to ensure all six of us had a good time, another couple we were traveling with and a couple from Australia. It included lunch, and we had a choice of 3 entrees, with good bread and a glass of Vino Verde. Upscale restaurant, more than we expected. Picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel as promised.
