“Our guide, Carla, was amazing and very safe driver. Picked us up from the train station to start tour. She was knowledgeable and explained some history of Braga and pointed out places of interest and to visit after the tour. She recommended restaurants to eat at for Portuguese cuisine which turned out to be fabulous. She took us to Bom De Jesus and we had time to look around. Funicular trip up the hill is included in price. However, we waited 15 mins for it to go so I would skip that if it wasn't going imminently and go up in the tuk tuk. Overall a great way to spend…”

“We were looking for a little outdoor adventure, something off the beaten trail of touristy Portuguese towns and cities. We found it - it was a perfect way to cap off our vacation. River Lima was lovely and the right level of challenge, offering long stretches of calm water interrupted by 4-5 rapids which required focus, fast paddling and bursts of adventure. The tour group leader (Paulo) was terrific -- calm, kind, patient, competent, and reassuring. He was also fun to talk to about any topic (not just kayaking). The entire region is quite beautiful, full of vineyards, so just getting to the staring point is worth a drive. I…”
