We had a lovely day trip to the UNESCO site Bom Jesus, then Braga then Guimaraes. Our guide Bea was excellent and driver Emanuel was very good. A little more time at Bom Jesus would have been good.

The Braga & Guimareas Heritage Tour is well worth experiencing if you wish to understand Portugues culture. Our tour guide, Clara, and driver, Emanuel, were both very helpful and knowledgable. I was utterly absorbed in listening to Clara's exposition of Portugues history. Guimaraes was particularly fascinating and Clara took the time to point out specific points of interest and confidently explain their significance. It was a marvelous day and one which I would highly recommend.

Karine was an amazing guide, with a great knowledge of the history of Braga and Guimarães. We started our visit at the Bom Jesus sanctuary where we had free time to explore the church and the famous staircases. The medieval architecture can still be strongly seen in the city, making the tour a unique experience. The bus was very comfortable and we had a safe and peaceful trip thanks to Mr. Manuel. Thank you very much team.

Great tour of Braga and Guimaraes on Wednesday 19th November 2025. The tour was so informative and gave a great deal of the importance of Portuguese culture. Gabriela the tour guide has so much knowledge. This was my first time in 🇵🇹 Portugal and I already want to return. Nuno our driver was equally knowledgeable and great at getting us to the destinations. Both Gabriela and Nuno were so friendly and pleasant and made sure the experience of seeing these two areas were the best possible.

On this tour of Braga and Guimaraes, we had Gabriela Manuel as a guide, who was very good , very nice and clear in her explanations. I recommend visiting these two small towns, which were interesting and particular from an artistic and religious point of view.
