Yenthao – United States

The day trio with Alvaro to Guimaraes and Braga was very enjoyable. Alvaro was a very thoughtful and kind guide. There were only 7 of us, 6 English speaking and 1 Spanish. Alvaro was able to communicate efficiently to both groups. I thought that the trip was very well organized, we had ample of free time to take pictures. The lunch that came with the tour at the Castelo Restaurant was very good. We had a fish dish, a meat dish, plenty of winho verde and red wines, and ended with a good desert of assorted pieces of cakes. I highly recommend this tour. btw, they do pick you up at or near your place in Porto.

Slimmy was an outstanding guide, and made everyone welcome. Lunch was good. This is a great tour if you dont have a car, taking you to places that are otherwise hard to reach in just a day.

Explore Guimarães and Braga: A Full-Day Tour from Porto

Begin your journey by visiting Guimarães, the birthplace of the Portuguese nation and the first city chosen by Portugal’s first king, Afonso Henriques. Known as the cradle of Portugal, Guimarães boasts a well-preserved medieval atmosphere and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Braga, once called Bracara Augusta by the Romans, has been a significant religious center and pilgrimage destination for centuries. Your visit begins at the 12th-century Sé Cathedral, built by Henri de Bourgogne and Dona Teresa. Then, head to the stunning Bom Jesus Sanctuary, perched on a hilltop. The iconic 581-step stairway leading to the top is one of the most famous in Portugal, offering breathtaking views and a sense of spiritual devotion.
