Antonio was a wonderful guide and shared lots of history and information in a very respectful way. He is very experienced and it showed as he knew Braga/Guimaraes in detail and led us through the day in just the right level of detail. Antonio is a native of Porto and so interesting! We really enjoyed his company and expertise. He was also a very good and patient driver, which we appreciated. We would highly recommend Antonio as a guide!

We experienced three wonderful tours with Antonio during our visit in Porto in April 2023. He is a true professional tour guide. His knowledge of the history and importance of sites as well as his flexibility in adjusting his programs to our interests and time was most impressive. Antonio has a very interesting personality that makes spending long days with him a most enjoyable journey. We highly recommend him to any traveler seeking tour guidance in Portugal.

Just came from a wonderful day trip to Braga and Guimarães with Antonio and I highly recommend him for this tour or any tour he gives. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Porto and the surrounding areas but also a great guy to just hang out with; which is important when you are spending 8 hours with someone. 5 stars.
