Our guide Paulo was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and Braga, explains the context of what we were seeing on our tour.
Cannot fault our afternoon out, pick up from our holiday apartment, an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide who made sure we saw the highlights of this Braga tour. Pedro really tailored the experience around us and made sure we had adequate stops. I've found on all our Porto tours, the local knowledge has been incredible and you can see why the history inspires people. Also Pedro's archaeology background provided a great insight into the area. On a tour like this, it's so interesting to learn about what symbolism is represented in these religious buildings and you would never recognise it without a knowledgeable guide. So big thank you to Pedro for making this so memorable for all our family.
Great day in Braga with our tour guide Hugo! Awesome tour guide with a great knowledge of history! Braga and the Bom Jesus is a must see!
