This was a wonderful experience. Our driver/guide Daniel was knowledgeable, polite, fun, and he made sure that everyone in the group felt good by answering all our questions and giving us a very informative and excellent tour. I would recommend anytime!

We were picked up right outside our hotel and dropped off right in front. Since we were the only two that signed up for that particular day, it was essentially a private trip. We had freedom to make small changes that worked out perfectly with our likes.

We had an amazing day in Guimaraes and Braga, both beautiful places, specially Guimaraes! Our guide was lovely, very patient and knowledgeable. The vehicle was very comfortable and everything was included with the tour, even lunch which was at a very good local restaurant. Great tour and excellent service!
