What you actually do
SIGHTSEEING TOURS SHOP runs this tour from Porto. It reaches Guimarães, with both Porto and Guimarães on the itinerary. It lasts four hours, so it is a half-day outing rather than a full day. It suits travelers who want to see Guimarães in a short window and are happy with a fixed-length visit.

The order follows how many reviews each has, never the commission, and each column comes from the same fields, so the comparison holds.
Number of people who rated each option
The count of ratings comes first, the score in brackets after it, because a score alone says little without the people standing behind it.
Under about ten ratings, the score is as much about chance as about the experience itself.

How far to trust the rating
The tour is rated 4.7 from 18 reviews. That places it 59 of 72 by number of reviews in the day trips from Porto category. The score is positive, but the evidence is thin: this is a small base, so it is less tested than a score backed by hundreds.
The rank is about how much feedback exists, not how good the tour is. Treat it as encouraging but not settled. If you rely on volume, it sits near the bottom of the category on review count.
Where the day goes, in order

The best time to go
For this outing, the season matters more than the part of day you are out. July and August reach highs of 25 and 26 °C, with lows of 16 °C. January and December are cool, with highs of 14 °C and lows of 5 to 7 °C.
May, June, and September sit between those, with highs of 20 to 24 °C and lows of 12 to 15 °C. The short length means you are not out through a full day's heat or cold. If you want mild weather, May, June, and September are the practical months.
