This was a full day visiting many interesting sites outside of Porto, traveling in a comfortable Mercedes minivan, with only the two of us on the tour. Our guide and driver, Pedro, was very accommodating and knowledgeable of all the sites. Tour included a stop in the morning for pastry and coffee, a lunch at an authentic Portuguese restaurant, and another pastry stop later in the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour!

Full day of interesting sites!
This is a full day seeing many interesting sites outside of Porto, traveling in a comfortable Mercedes. It was nice that it was just the two of us. Pedro was very accommodating and was knowledgeable of all the sites.

This tour is a wonderful introduction to northern Portugal and not to be missed!
This was the first of three tours we were to take with Pedro. Picked up outside our apartment we drove out of Porto into the Minho region, with its lush green countryside, in NE Portugal, and the city of Braga was our first stop. It is the 3rd largest city in Portugal, settled by the Romans in1BC, and has the first cathedral erected in Portugal, before the country was founded. These credentials alone, make a return visit necessary, because there is so much history around you to see and absorb, but our host was more intent on introducing us to the local bakery and to sample the cakes and sweets and to enjoy a coffee; culturally more relevant than taking photos! The itinerary is an impressive one - the spectacular baroque staircase with 17 landings at the Bom Jesus Funicular and Sanctuary and the Roman bridge at Ponte de Lima, to list just two, but it is the lunch with unlimited vinho verde in a small corner of the latter town, which Pedro had ‘discovered,’ that provided the most authentic experience…with no tourists in sight!
This tour is a wonderful introduction to northern Portugal by one of their best ambassadors!

Exceptional tour experience with Pedro....
Pedro went above-and-beyond to ensure that our adventure was extraordinary. Best sights-to-see, best cuisine and best historical narrative. Highly recommend. We also enjoyed the Duoro Valley tour with Pedro. Thank you Pedro for the amazing memories!

Lovely and informative
Pedro is an amazing tour guide and was a great story teller. My husband and I learned so much and are muito appreciative of his time and patience with two Americans traveling in Portugal. ;)

See Portugal through new eyes!
We had the most amazing time touring the northern region of Portugal! Pedro introduced us to the region through informative and educated eyes. He taught us about the history of Portugal, wine and introduced us to local cuisine and treats (Romeo and Juliet).
He went out of his way to extend our trip and take my daughter and I across the border to Spain so she was able to say she'd visited Spain. It was incredibly thoughtful of him to do so. Pedro made all the stops we asked (plus more) and was more than gracious with our and his time during the excursion!
I can't recommend this tour enough! You will see Portugal through new eyes! Thank you Pedro!

Great day in Minho!
Pedro was awesome. We got to Braga fairly early and were able to visit the sites while they were very uncrowded. We walked the stairs all the way up to the wonderful view at the top, then took the water funicular down the hill where Pedro met us with the van . He really packed a lot into the day, including a trip to a rural palace rarely visited by Americans. Charming lunch after walking over the Roman/medieval bridge over the Lima river.
After poking our nose briefly into Spain, we drove down the coast. Stopped for a wonderful view of the river running into the Atlantic Ocean and made it back to our hotel by 7:30 in the evening.
Pedro drove smoothly and safely, and gave great explanations of all the sites.
