Review for: Join-In Tour without lunch (English-speaking)

A staff member wearing a red jacket will be waiting at the meeting point to assist and guide you to the boarding area. The tour guide/driver alternated between English and Spanish to introduce the small stories along the way from Porto city center to Braga, and carefully attended to everyone on the bus. The weather was bad that day, with rain, wind, and fog, but even in such a disheveled state, the whole trip was enriched by the guide's added value. Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary, the water-powered funicular, the Five Senses Fountain, and seeing the Braga city skyline after the fog gradually dissipated, were still worth the price despite the wind and rain. The climate is volatile, and the "Casa das Estampas" shop here specializes in selling religious icons, postcards, and local souvenirs. The store has umbrellas (about EUR9) and disposable raincoats (about EUR5) available for temporary purchase, which can be effective in helping if you encounter rain in a windproof and waterproof jacket during the uncomfortable winter.

Visiting the nearby town was fun and not too far, and the food was delicious. This day trip is definitely worth it, though it's a shame the guide spoke French almost exclusively, with very little English.

We had an amazingly enjoyable day tour. Our guide Castro was very knowledgeable and friendly. You would not miss out any important information about the places visited with Castro.

Relaxing trip. Walking in an old town, with historical church, castle, shops, etc. Good to know more about Portuguese history.

There are two small towns very close to Porto. They are small and very unique. If you stay in Porto for a long time, you can visit them when you have time, but they are not places that must be visited.

The meeting point is located near St. Benedict Station and is easy to find. Visit several attractions in one day, saving time, effort and time.
