Ricardo. Was a superb guide, one of the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and we’ve been on a lot of tours. He was kind, patient, explained everything fully, and made sure our experience was great. I would highly recommend Ricardo for this or any tour that he does, it will be the best possible.

We had an excellent driver cum guide , Ricardo , who had access to parts of historical monuments which are not normally open to visitors. A wonderful experience !

Ricardo was an absolutely terrific guide. We had a week in Porto to explore various things, and it would have been great to have more time to wander around in either of the towns visited on this trip. But lacking that kind of time, being able to combine them into a day trip like this was a great option. Everything worked exactly as advertised. We were able to enjoy the high points of both places in a very well-orchestrated fashion. It was also the best lunch we have ever had in conjunction with a day trip like that.

We had an excellent time with Sergio! He was knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Braga and Guimaraes. He took us to a wonderful authentic restaurant, and we enjoyed an outstanding meal.
