Couldn’t ask for a better day out of Porto with this informative and awesome tour with a very animated guide who winged it and did simultaneous English and French translation with finesse. Best driver too in her amazing and comfortable car!

The trip was fantastic and we were very fortunate to have Julio as our guide. He was an incredibly knowledgeable and amusing man and find in man gatos in my knowledge. Braga is a lovely town and I really enjoyed the walk up to the church.

My tour with another company was cancelled the day before so I went looking for another tour. This was the only tour still taking bookings for solo travelers.
I booked in the afternoon the day before and received notice my booking and payment had been accepted but I will receive a confirmation email soon. After approx. 16hrs, no email/ phone call at all. I went to the pickup point where a guy on the phone told me they didnt even see my booking until 9pm the night before (5-6hrs after I booked it), the booking was not within 24hrs, and I was a solo traveler so my booking was not accepted.
1) how does it take 5-6hrs to even see a booking, and then no reply via email nor phone within 16hrs? Because of this I couldnt make other arrangements for the day, all other tours had begun.
2) if it must be within 24hrs, dont accept the booking (and payment), like every other tour on this website!
In short, their service is terribly unprofessional and the only excuses i got were "its our busy season" and "its the website's fault". If being busy is a problem, get out of the game. Dont hide behind the website, other companies have figured it out and in the end it was YOU that failed to communicate.
Edit: This review has been resubmitted after the company made contact with me to correct 1 point I misunderstood. However, as of right now (~12hrs before their next tour), they are still taking bookings on this website, against their supposed 24hr policy.

We enjoyed a lovely day trip to Braga and Guimaraes with the energetic and informative Júlio! Learned lots about Portuguese history and culture and visited important historical churches and castle. Júlio adapted our small group tour to our wishes where possible. Lunch was authentic and delicious. A great day.

I’ve taken several tours in several countries with Viator and l have to say this is one was one of the best. The sites we visited really helped in understanding how Porto came to be. Lunch was superb. The guide, Julio was very informative, intelligent and knew his histories, anecdotal and otherwise. Even engaging in conversations outside the realm of ancient Portuguese history into the modern was very interesting. Plus he was funny, which made our experience more pleasurable.
