Guimarães, the birthplace of the nation and a UNESCO World Heritage site, exudes a medieval atmosphere with its 10th-century castle and 15th-century Ducal Palace. A stroll through the heart of the city's streets and squares will immerse you in the palpable charm and rich history of Guimarães. During our visit, we'll explore the imposing castle, admire the majestic Dukes of Bragança Palace, and wander through the historic center.
After a relaxing lunch break included in the tour, we'll continue our journey to Braga, known as the oldest Portuguese city and the religious capital of Portugal. For centuries, Braga has been a prominent archiepiscopal seat and pilgrimage site. Our exploration of Braga will include a visit to its 11th-century Cathedral, followed by a tour of the Bom Jesus Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled in the scenic hills surrounding the city.
Join us on our small-group tour to discover the most iconic monuments and exclusive spots in these historic cities.

The history of the place. The pace and places added value to the trip. Loved it. Highly recommend. The guide was on time. Gave us free time to explore. Gardens were beautiful. Lunch was amazing. Cakes were an added touch.

We enjoyed the trip as it was more personalised. Less people is much much better. Though the pick up venue was changed however, it was still close to where we stayed. Viator never failed.

Seeing a different part of the area was good. Enjoyed Guimaraes but Braga was disappointing- not much of the Roman history. Frankly the guide seemed a bit bored. The lunch was also pretty mediocre - a more creative approach would have been appreciated to highlight local cuisine. Efficient organisation but not the best Viatour tour I've done.

Bom Jesus has such beautiful architecture and the music from the chimes lends to the serenity of the place! Highly recommend visiting and making sure you climb the steps from the midpoint to the top to view some of the realistic looking stations of the cross along the way up!

Jose was a wonderful tour guide. He provided us with the history of the locations we visited and allowed us some free time during our visits to the small towns. Our lunch spot was also very good. We were a small group which allowed him to drop us off at our hotels.

Had a great day visiting Braga. Tour guide was very efficient and had a good explanation of the architecture. Lunch was tasty. Van was very comfortable. There is quite a bit of walking on this tour. My wife is disabled, so it was a little tough for her, but she enjoyed it. Jose was our guide and he was excellent

We have taken dozens of tours over the years and this tour was exceptional because of our guide. Everything was well planned and efficient. Lunch was very nice and had free pastry later. We learned many things about Portugal and highly recommend this tour.

We were met by a friendly and local guide who had excellent knowledge of the region. And because it was a small group, it was very personal. The tour was well planned with ample free time in both places to wonder around.
Lunch comprised of 3 courses at a local restaurant was great with a choice of local dishes with wine included.
A very enjoyable day and highly recommend this company.
