Carlos was an amazing tour guide and a fount of information about Guimaraes and Braga. Although the tour was supposed to begin in Porto, Carlos graciously drove to Guimaraes where I was staying. Carlos showed me all the sites and was able to answer all of my questions. His car was spacious and he provided water for me during the day. I highly recommend this tour and Carlos as the guide.

Jose was amazing! He picked us up at our hotel and began the tour with lots of interesting insights about Porto as we left the city. We learned so much about Portuguese culture and he and his family as well as about the sights he was showing us on the tour! We had toured with Carlos the day before and he had alerted Jose that my mom cannot walk long distances so he did his best to accommodate her so that she did not miss anything! He planned the day around her and what we wanted to see and we had a wonderful time!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so pleased to hear that José made your day so special and shared his insights about Porto and Portuguese culture with you. It’s also great to know that the coordination with Carlos helped us accommodate your mother’s needs so she could enjoy the experience without missing a thing. We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted you had such a memorable time with us. We hope to welcome you and your family again soon for more discoveries in Portugal! Warm regards, Ana
2 years ago, we went with Carlos to Fatima and had a memorable experience (highly recommend) so when we found out we had a port day in Porto, we immediately contacted Carlos. He picked us up at the port and took us to Guimaraes where we explored the castle, the palace and city. Then we headed to Braga. We stopped to see the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro- both these places are not only beautiful but spiritual and peaceful. We then headed into Braga where we explored the town and Cathedral. Carlos made sure we saw every possible site while still getting us back to the port on time. We consider Carlos a friend and will definitely call him again if we get back in the area. His love of Braga and his faith made our day exceptional!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy you chose to tour with Carlos again and that you enjoyed discovering Guimarães and Braga. These places are truly special, and it’s wonderful to hear Carlos’s passion and care made your day unforgettable. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime! Best regards, Ana
