“Our day trip to Braga and Guimarães was wonderful! Jose our guide was a wealth of knowledge on the area and was very attentive to the groups needs. Sadly, because our tour was the day before Christmas, some of the major attractions on the tour were closed for Christmas. However, Jose made sure we were compensated because of this! Thanks so much Jose for the lovely day!”
