ブラガとギマランイスのプライベートツアーの主なハイライト

We had just completed a Rick Steves tour through the Heart of Portugal and had one more day before heading home from Porto. We decided we wanted to see Braga and Guimarães so we booked a private tour with Ricardo Manuel. He picked us up in the morning at our hotel and we had the best time. He was fun and knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us an excellent experience. He shared interesting information about the countryside on the drive and great details about the things we were seeing in each city. We were exhausted from our trip, it was raining, and we were a bit anxious about the long travel back home. All of that disappeared when we set off with Ricardo. He also offered to answer any questions about things to do in Porto and made great suggestions before we had our day with him. We would highly recommend him as a guide.

On time and in a luxury car, my wife and I were met at our hotel door step by tour guide Ricardo. We then proceeded north for an hour, to a city called Viana do Castelo. A city surrounded by mountains, ocean and a river - picturesque, romantic and fresh. On foot, Ricardo guided us through some amazing medieval streets stopping in at a few shops that seamed to be local favourites. Lunch was at an adorable seafood restaurant that seamed to capture the heritage and culture delightfully and of course the food was superb. Returning to the car Ricardo drove us to the top of the mountain where we were able to take in the gorgeous view of the whole city. Truely remarkable. From there we proceeded to a local wine producer where we were able to enjoy a few generous tastings and learnt about their Green Wine (vinho verde). Then finished the day dropped back off at our hotel door step. Ricardo took his time, never rushed us or made us feel like we were on a schedule. His driving made us feel safe. He was patient and was always attentive to our needs. My wife and I can’t thank Ricardo enough and will definitely be happy to recommend him and Shuttle Douro to anyone. Can’t wait for our next tour.
