Thoroughly enjoyable trip . A short ride out of Porto to see a beautiful church with stunning views . Our Guide Ana was great and kept everyone informed in English & Portuguese which must have been taxing at the end of the day . A stunning Cathedral in Braga to visit with a few hours to grab lunch in the town . Choices of places to eat was many and even had time for a walk , window shop , coffee and a cake . Another short ride to Guimareas with an imposing castle a little walk into a quaint town had a cheeky beer and a few scoops of ice cream waiting for the Coach back to Porto . A long but fantastic day .

Was a wonderful trip but disappointed as we Didn’t spend long enough at Bom Jesus steps. That was highlight of my day yet had rushed half a hour there. Group half French and English , wasted too much time all day translating. Lunch was terrible and took too long 3 course meal included not necessary to offer with trip better to buy yourself and green wine not given just bottle of white. Would have preferred more free time at the steps and Braga than the time it took for lunch which wasn’t very nice except the cake. Enjoyed all the places visited and beautiful architecture and gardens.

Such a fun day. We were constantly in awe by the breathtaking architecture and history of Braga + Guimares. Our guide, José, was the kindest man and his excitement was absolutely contagious. We were so appreciative of his thoughtfulness and his knowledge of Portugal’s history. Truly cannot speak higher of him! Overall, this trip was a great experience and we had so much fun. Memories that will last a lifetime and great photo ops to go with!
