Review of the Braga and Guimarães day trip from Porto, with historic churches, a castle, free time, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“My wife and I took this tour with Jose and had a blast! He was very personable and well-informed about these cities. He spent the PERFECT amount of time in each place, none too short and none too long. Even when people asked him questions that came out of nowhere, he always had great answers. After our free time, he would always come over to each of us individually and asked if we enjoyed ourselves and how we were doing. I cannot recommend him enough.”
