This is as an over the top tour. The churches and gardens were beyond compare. We were especially impressed with the Bom Jesus church and grounds. The views at the mountain top were spectacular. Diago, our guide, literally went the extra mile for us. He added a couple of extra sites to see. He was flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to see. He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional a fun conversationalist. We were on a river cruise so he picked us up in a Mercedes van right at the ship. Braga is a not to be missed destination in Portugal. I highly recommend this half day tour.
