An unforgettable day! - Ricardo's 5-star review status is well deserved! We spent a day touring with him through Braga and Guimaraes and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is clearly passionate about Portugal and shares his knowledge in an easy, comfortable way. Although there was a set plan to the day, he had no problem accommodating our requests to 'pop in here and there'. His recommendation for lunch in Guimaraes was one of the best meals I had in Portugal! Braga and Guimaraes, through the eyes of a local guide, left us with one of our fondest memories of our recent trip. Thank you, Ricardo, for a great day!
