Leandro Fernandes is the best private tour guide in Guimaraes. He gave my wife and I a wonderful 3-hour private tour of the Old Town area in Guimaraes. He was both a very personal and passionate about the tour, the history of the town, and the history of Portugal. He brought to life the last thousand plus years of History of Portugal and the influence of Portugal has had on the world. A trip to Giamaraes is not complete without a private tour by Leandro.
A huge thank you to Leandro who was a font of knowledge on our personal guided tour of Guimarães. What an inspirational and engaging guy with an absolute passion for all that is historical not only on the local area, but with Portugal and the world beyond. You taught us so much and went above and beyond to make our day so special. What a wonderful town Guimarães is and thank you for sharing it with us that day. Such a beautiful place steeped in history and amazing architecture. Thank you again Leandro.... We will be back!
What a wonderful and 100% successful afternoon tour this was for our group. Leandro has a most exceptional presentation: knowledge of history, engagement with his audience, exceptional ability to recall historic facts regarding the every day architecture of the town, exceptional empathy with the geography and history of Portugal and its relationship with world history. But above all, he is a really very nice person with a great sense of humour. .
I must say, Leandro went above and beyond to provide my mother and I a first class experience. This being our first trip to Guimarães, we felt so lucky and blessed to have booked our tour with Leandro. His knowledge of Guimarães (and Portugal broadly), his attention to detail and his impeccable treatment of my mother as a guest in his beautiful city all came together to produce an experience we shall never forget. Thank you Leandro! Guimarães is lucky to have you!
He has deep knowledge in Portugal history and happy to discuss any issues regarding expansion of Portugal empire towards the eastern world. There were old Portuguese settlements in Ayudhaya, former capital of Thailand, and all treaties between Siam(previous name of Thailand) and western countries were done in Portuguese language, evidenced of Portugal merchant’s influence being the first western explorer to Siam. We from NBI are the first Thai and Asian tourists ever in his care and happy to be guided by him to visit historic places of Guimarães..
