Our guide was excellent, he planned our trip to our interests and adapted great to having rainy weather. I highly recommend specially to visit the beautiful churches in Braga, a very spiritual place

Erin_H

Great day visiting Guimarães and Braga. Luis was a great guide and we saw all the highlights. Bom Jesus was a highlight as was Sameiro.

Julie_R

Our driver was the best! He was full of useful information, helped us to navigate the language and recomended some great stops. I have never been disappointed by any private driver that I have ever had using Viator. On this trip we used this site for several different activities, two that included private drivers. It really helps to have this resource when traveling,.

Paulo was a very considerate and informative tour guide. We would recommend him to anyone wishing to visit Braga and Guimaraes.

We were picked up on time by a nice gentleman, who told us we were the only pair on the tour. We had a n eight seater and the guide / driver to ourselves. A knowledgeable person willing to pass on his knowledge and also willing to listen to us. We had a great tour nothing was too much trouble, he took us to ride the funicular railway at Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Braga, the best known religious sanctuary in Portugal picking us up from the bottom. Sadly i cannot remember his name but he was from SA. A thoroughly recommended tour.

Ana was a wonderful tour guide! We enjoyed our day with her exploring and learning about the history and foods of Portugal.

Sharon_P

Our tour guide was right on time picking us up at out apartment. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Very nice and comfortable vehicle. He showed us around and explained the history but then gave us time on our own to explore. Would highly recommend this private tour. Excellent!!!
