“I had such a lovely time on the trip to Braga and Guimarães! This was a great activity to do as a solo traveler. I enjoyed learning about the history of each location and about Portugal overall, as well as getting time to explore each stop on my own. Carlos was a superb guide and Tropa was an excellent driver!

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.”

“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.”

“Our tour guide was friendly and chatty, but he really slowed us down. I don’t mean to be rude; we wanted to learn about the history, but he talked so much that it was hard to get out of the conversation and tour. I think we would have enjoyed these sites better, Braga especially, if we had done these on our own. The restaurant we went to was great though!”
