A magnificent day, the Quinta and the castle of Sintra are extraordinary to see, Anna is a very competent guide who gives a lot of her time and knowledge to everyone throughout the day! A big thank you!
Our tour was bilingual (English/Spanish). Led by Henrique & Alejandre. We had a wonderful experience as both of them are very knowledgeable and kept our bus ride very entertaining. Alejandre led the Spanish group. He made all of us feel included, informed and kept the group engaged. He made our tour fun and prepared us to make the best of our free time and trip. We really enjoyed our tour and are thankful for the great memories.
I would have loved to give a 5 Star review but unfortunately due to one of the tour guides giving us the incorrect meeting location after our free time in Viana Do Castelo we almost missed the bus. Our tour guides were Miguel and Eduardo. There were 4 of us waiting (2 ladies and my husband and I). After 20 minutes of waiting, My husband contacted the tour company via WhatsApp, they contacted the guides, then came to pick us up. Miguel apologized he gave us the incorrect meeting location. Thank goodness the tour company responded to us immediately or else the 4 of us (the 2 ladies were travelling separately) would have been left in Viana do Castelo. Overall the tour was a good balance, just wished it didn’t rain as well.
I chose this tour over others because it included Viana do Castelo rather htan just Braga and Guimaraes, and I am very glad I did. Viana do Castelo is beautiful, particularly the hilltop basilica with incredible views over the ocean! Braga and Guimaraes were also really interesting, though I am glad we had nice weather before an expected heat wave is set to start. Our guide Alexander was very knowledgeable and really informative, telling us a lot about Porto and the surrounding area while en route, in addition to when we were walking around each location.
Thank you very much for your fantastic review! We're so pleased to hear that choosing the tour including Viana do Castelo was the right decision for you. The Sanctuary and its panoramic views are truly one of the highlights of the region, and we're glad you had the chance to enjoy them in good weather. It's also wonderful to know that you enjoyed Braga and Guimarães, and that Alexander's knowledge and insights about Porto and the surrounding region made the journey even more interesting. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!
Great experience. Lots to see with knowledgeable guides, Enrique and Maria. Highly recommend this tour company.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience and enjoyed discovering so many beautiful places with Henrique and Maria. They'll be very happy to know that their knowledge and enthusiasm helped make your day so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you on another tour with us in the future!
Great opportunity to see 3 cities in the Minho region in a day. Tour guides were informative. It was a large group tour — maybe 40 people. However, tour was well-organized and paced with sufficient free time. The only thing I would change would be less time in Viano, which while lively cathedral and quaint town, not much to see or do, and spend more time at Bom Jesus. That would allow arrival in Braga in time to tour the inside of the Braga se/cathedral which was closed for lunch while we were there. Overall, we very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend.
Thank you for your detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the Minho region with us and that you found the tour informative, well-organized, and well-paced despite the size of the group. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the time spent at each stop. Finding the right balance between the different destinations is always a challenge, and comments like yours are very valuable as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. We hope to welcome you again on another tour!
A group of about 30-40 rider on a comfortable charter bus to each destination. One guide in English and one guide for Spanish. At each stop the first half of your time is guided walking and sharing the history and significance of the sites. The second half of each stop gives you time to wander around. We did make a short list of 1 or 2 little places we wanted to maybe check out at each stop, like the Lego specialty shop in Viana. The second stops in Braga, gave time for lunch at one of the many cafes you’ll pass. Not a strenuous tour, but a full day with friendly guides and great sights to see.
Thank you for your thoughtful review Kyle! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the balance between the guided visits and the free time at each stop. Our goal is to give our guests the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of each destination while also having time to explore at their own pace. It's great to know you enjoyed discovering places like the LEGO specialty shop in Viana and had the chance to relax over lunch in Braga. We're also pleased that our guides and the overall pace of the tour helped make it an enjoyable day. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure!

Our guides, Carlos and Nunu, and our driver Carlos have been amazing. They took us to amazing places, filling us with a wealth of information about each place we visited. We learned a lot about the history of Portugal in general, and the cities we have visited. We fell in love with Braga, and felt a spiritual connection with St Luisa and Bom Jesus sanctuaries. We had a rich and fulfilling day thanks to Carlos, Nunu and Carlos! Thank you all!
