Cristiane was a great tour...

19-Sep-2022

Cristiane was a great tour guide. She had an indepth knowledge of the history of Braga and she made the tour fun for us. She didn't rush but took time to tell us interesting facts about the sites we visited. She also offered to take photos and most importantly, tips on the best cafés to go to. We had such a great experience with Cristiane and I will highly recommend her.

Had a wonderful time in Spain and Portugal. Highly recommend to go only with a tour guide to see more special things and experience the cultures.

We took an amazing tour with EcoTrilha! Cristiane was a thoughtful guide who knows the good places to go (and where to avoid) and provided us with information about the rich history of Portugal, the amazing sites that we saw with her, as well as answered our many many questions on random things. She also provided information to help out planning and took great care of us. Highly recommend spending your time with Cristiane seeing and learning about Portugal!

I highly recommend this tour with Cristiane. We thought the content and pace was just right and we learned a lot about the city and its history. Cristiane was really friendly and knowledgeable and ushered us gently through the tour. Excellent value for money -- and some great tips for where to eat!

We had a wonderful time...

18-Sep-2023

We had a wonderful time touring around Braga with Cristiane! She was already waiting for us when we arrived at the Arco da Porta Nova. We walked through the streets of the historic area while learning all about Braga. Cristiane is very knowledgable and we learned a lot about the city and also got some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat after the tour which we took advantage of. We had a tour inside the Sé, the oldest cathedral in Portugal, saw the beautiful Jardim de Santa Bárbara and city market. After touring the historic area, Cristiane drove us out to Bom Jesus do Monte where we took the funicular up to the church for some amazing views and learned all about the history of the site walking back down the amazing stairs. Highly recommend booking this small group tour of Braga with EcoTrilha - early during your visit if possible!
