“Wonderful day trip! Definitely worth it if you have a few days in Porto! Antonio was knowledgeable and very kind. Wish we had a bit more free time in Guimaraes and maybe a little less in Braga but for the most part everything was perfectly timed. Unfortunately there was a strike going on at the castle and we could not tour, but Antonio certainly made up for it with a back up stop at a local bakery. Got back to Porto with plenty of time left in the evening. As a solo traveler this was great activity to meet other travelers as well.”
