Terrrific enjoyable tour - Vitor was well informed, articulate, and fun to be with. He gave a wonderful presentation of Portuguese culture, history, and its art. He further advised us on what to see in other cities, which proved valuable. His English is fluent and colorful. A plus guide and a well organized tour.

Wonderful tour of historic sites - We were fortunate to have our guide Vitor to ourselves given its low season. He provided an enormous amount of historical information and took us to some places off the beaten path that you might not otherwise see or know what it was if you did see. We would highly recommend the tour with Vitor.

Visit to Braga and Guimarães - Although the day was rainy and nothing conducive to a walk tour, our trip to Braga and Guimarães was very profitable. It was raining a lot in Porto when we boarded , however , arriving in Braga the rain eased and we managed to make the tour .
Our guide , Pedro , was extremely kind and did everything he could to offer us a day of learning in the cities visited. The lunch was excellent, a family atmosphere and good menu.
It was a tour that exceeded our expectations , very well worth it .

Great day visiting Braga and Guimaraes with an excellent guide (Paulo) - We had an excellent day touring Braga and Guimaraes. Paulo was our guide. He went out of his way to make sure our group was having a great time and that we saw and learned as much as possible. Paulo is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and the places we visited.

Two thumbs up. - We loved this trip especially the visit to the Bom Jesus de Braga was amazing. Our guide Pedro was phenomenal, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We strongly recommend Pedro for this tour. So far this would be our best tour in Porto area.
