Tour Reviews
Great tour guide, picked up at hotel on time, never hurried, great choice of restaurant to eat, lunch was included.
Mucho conocimiento con un excelente guía!
Nuestro guía y chofer Norberto Pinto nos permitió conocer al máximo las atracciones que visitamos, desde el Castillo y el Palacio de Guimaraes hasta los santuarios de Braga.
Fue un viaje muy completo, lleno de lugares que desconocía. La experiencia de subir a los dos santuarios (Bom Jesus y Sameiro), el teleférico, el castillo… Todo era formidable y además siempre las explicaciones y la conversación de Norberto que ayudaban a conocer el contexto.
Además, se adecuaba a nuestro ritmo, considerando que yo viajaba con mi madre, que tiene 85 años, pero que se divirtió mucho.
“Guimaraes and Braga: Ennetours highly recommended”
We had a super pleasant day with Norberto discovering those 2 villages, Norberto is very friendly, gave us an overview of the Portugal both historical and economical and is a very easy going guy. Norberto managed to even improve our very positive feedback of Porto!!
Very knowledgeable and personable guide. Recommend this tour.
We had an excellent tour, 9 hrs plus, our guide was Norberto and he really knew his stuff. He was very personable and passionate, even shared some of his own experiences touring different countries on his own, which made it an enjoyable day. We laughed as he drove and walked around our different places included in the tour. I would recomend this tour guide! Thank you Norberto!
