Sadly, because our tour was the day before Christmas, some of the major attractions on the tour were closed for Christmas. However, Jose made sure we were compensated because of this!

“Our guide, Carla, was amazing and very safe driver. Picked us up from the train station to start tour. She was knowledgeable and explained some history of Braga and pointed out places of interest and to visit after the tour. She recommended restaurants to eat at for Portuguese cuisine which turned out to be fabulous. She took us to Bom De Jesus and we had time to look around. Funicular trip up the hill is included in price. However, we waited 15 mins for it to go so I would skip that if it wasn't going imminently and go up in the tuk tuk. Overall a great way to spend…”
