Embark on a journey through the rich history and legends of Portugal with this exclusive private tour to two iconic cities: Braga, the religious center of the country, and Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal itself.
Your experience begins with a comfortable 45-minute drive from Porto to Braga, where you'll explore its most significant monuments and take a leisurely walk through the charming historic city center. Afterward, indulge in a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, with options to suit all tastes—meat, fish, or vegetarian, and of course, a delightful dessert to top it off!
With our hearts (and stomachs!) content, we'll journey just 20 minutes to Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll visit the majestic Guimarães Castle and wander through the picturesque streets of its old town. There's a surprise waiting for you here!
By the end of the day, you'll return to Porto with a smile, fond memories, and perhaps a wish to relive it all over again.
