We had an amazing day in Braga and Guimares. Our guide Vito Alves was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He treated us to a real Portuguese meal in a family owned and run restaurant. We highly recommend him as a guide. E.fun tours provided comfortable transportation.
Fantastic full day tour with the best tour guide we have ever experienced! Rita was super knowledgable, attentive and kind. We were in a group of 4 with two elderly ladies (my mum and her best friend). Rita tailored the tour around our needs and walking abilities. Lunch was an experience in itself, we felt like a local Portuguese family. The car was very comfortable, spacious and new. Can’t rate this tour high enough, worth every single euro paid. Thank you Rita for such a memorable day.
