Porto Dagsturer

Meeting at 7:45 AM and returning at 9:00 PM, the one-way drive is about 3 hours but it's worth it. The two attractions along the way are nice. The Porto city area is walked through with a guided tour, focusing on key points and introductions, making it a worthwhile trip. If you want to explore more deeply, you would have to stay for two or three days, worth a visit.

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.

I was a bit worried about going alone before departure, but I really wanted to experience the 516 Suspension Bridge, so I signed up anyway. I was very lucky to meet a fantastic tour guide, Danny! 👍 He not only provided detailed information about the attractions along the way but also kept us laughing, which made me feel comfortable chatting with everyone despite my broken English. The other group members were also very friendly. The tour included a delicious risotto and fish for lunch. Visiting several attractions in one day made for a truly fulfilling and highly recommended itinerary! Thanks to the travel agency and Danny for helping me create such wonderful memories.

Orlando our tour guide was informative and he speaks very clearly. I also like that he gave us enough time to go around and have a proper meal. The service was comfortable, if you plan to do this trip this tour will definitely save you time and hassle.
