We took the Viator-Portugal Excellence Tour, and yes, this tour really was excellent. Mostly because of Pedro , the superb tourist guide. Organized perfectly, charming stories and lots of local knowledge.
Great value for the money

Our second tour this week with Living Tours. Both excellent. Today, trip to Braga and Guimaraes with tour guide Tanya and bus driver.Mr. Silva was just as wonderful as the Historical Douro Valley Tour we took 2 days ago with Joao and Ramos. The guides are very knowledgeable, personable, friendly and solicitous. Always ready to help. Would recommend this company any time. Thanks to you all for making these tours memorable experiences.
Request Pedro Xavier for your tour!

When you’re spending 4 to 5 hours in a minivan, the tour guide can make or break a trip. Pedro Xavier and driver Antonio were super guides/driver on our day trip to Braga and Guimaraes. Pedro was genuinely enthusiastic to tell us about our destinations, never slipping into “autopilot.” Patient,y answered questions and even had a super Plan B when the Braga Cathedral seemed unavailable due to a wedding. Braga and Guimaraes are charming and very walkable. Highly recommend this day trip. .

Our guide was on time (waiting at our apartment door when it's raining) and she is very energetic and knowledgeable. She explained everything and took us to a nice restaurant for a full course lunch. We enjoyed the Guimaraes village, the castle, the Braga Se church and Bom Jesus. We also enjoyed the sponge cake factory tour with cake and wine tasting.

We were lucky to have a private tour! Eduardo was a great guide. He set no time limits on our activities and always encouraged us to take as much time as we needed to see the sites. We did not know that we would be visiting Penha mountain but that was probably the best part of the tour. Lunch was moved to Braga but it was excellent and Bom Jesus do Monte was fantastic. Highly recommended.
