Tour Reviews
Norberto as our tour guide to Braga and Guimaraes was perfect for our group of 8 people. He showed us the 2 cities’ highlights, shared with us his knowledge of the 2 beautiful cities with very rich histories. We couldn’t have picked a better tour guide who has a vast knowledge of the 2 cities. A personal and easy going guide who is a delight to have as our tour guide.
Norberto was pleasant, informative, flexible and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days exploring Douro Valley and Braga and Guimaraes area with him!!
Norberto provided not only an informative tour but an entertaining one. He has an enormous volume of knowledge about the area and delivers it in a fun way. He was kind and with a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his guidance again when we return to Portugal.
