Tour Guide Making Wise Choices for our Group Dynamic

Antonio was a great guide. He modified the trip so my 86 year old mom could participate. He spoke with park personnel to get us as close to the sites as possible. He gave us time to shop and eat. He was very knowledgeable but did not rush us at all. We spent all day with him.

“The Guide Who Turned a Tour into an Unforgettable Experience”

*Braga & Guimarães Tour* I do not usually use social media or write reviews, but I simply could not let this experience pass without sharing it. Our tour to Braga and Guimarães with António Brás was, by far, the best guided tour we have ever experienced. António is far more than a guide; he is a true ambassador of Portuguese culture and history. His knowledge is remarkable, and throughout the day he enriched every moment with fascinating historical facts, stories and insights that brought each place to life. António is also an exceptionally kind, friendly and pleasant person, and Oporto Road Trips should be very proud to have him as part of their team. What touched us the most was António’s human side. My wife has mobility difficulties, and he was incredibly attentive, patient and caring throughout the entire tour. When I thanked him for his kindness, António simply said: “My mother also has mobility problems, and I appreciate it when people show her the same attention and care that I try to give to others.” These words truly stayed with us and reveal the character and humanity of António. Having done a Douro tour with another company the day before, I can honestly say that the difference was enormous. This experience set a standard that is difficult to match. Kudos to António! I highly recommend Oporto Road Trips, especially if you have the opportunity to tour with António. We hope to return soon and that António will once again be part of new experiences that create unforgettable memories. Thank you, António.

Fun trip to historic sites

A fun half day trip to see some beautiful close by sites and still be back in time to nap and get dinner. Good for groups or solo travelers!
