On time for pick up well kept and comfortable minivan, guide Rui was very kind and knowledgeable Day was hot but our guide chose to visit Guimarães first then Braga which worked very well considering the heat on that day. Would highly recommend Living Tours booked with Viator
We appreciated being picked up at the hotel and being taken on an comprehensive trip of all Braga and Guimares. Luis had done a wonderful job of driving, navigating to all historical sites, and beig a tour guide for our group.
This was the best tour ! Our guide louis was so accommodating that he made the trip very comfortable. His knowledge of the area was amazing and we felt safe throughout the whole trip . I would highly recommend this trip
Splendid day with our guide Luis. Extremely friendly, entertaining and informative. Braga and Guimares are well worth visiting.
Its a great experience with the oldest and unusual cities and regions of Portugal. Amazing history and tourism spots, beatiful churches and monasteries, highly recommend!!
The guide was kind and knowledgeable but I would have liked him to escort us more rather then exploring in our own.
