Itinerario
Nuestra primera parada será Braga, la capital de Minho, y luego descubriremos la histórica ciudad de Guimarães. ¡Prepare sus cámaras y venga a explorar dos de las ciudades más importantes de la historia de Portugal! Braga es una ciudad en el extremo norte de Portugal, al noreste de Oporto. Es conocido por su patrimonio y eventos religiosos. Al este, el complejo Bom Jesus do Monte tiene una iglesia neoclásica encaramada en una elaborada escalera de 17 pisos. En el centro de la ciudad, el Sé de Braga, de estilo medieval, alberga un museo de arte sacro y la Capilla de los Reyes de estilo gótico. Cerca de allí, el imponente Palacio Arzobispal da al jardín de Santa Bárbara.
Uno de los aspectos más destacados de esta gira. Famoso por sus escaleras interminables y detalles barrocos, este lugar definitivamente te impresionará. No solo es un monumento religioso, también es un lugar verdaderamente romántico y relajante con impresionantes vistas de Braga. Aquí, la naturaleza es privilegiada y protegida con el máximo cuidado.
La magnífica Catedral de Braga (también conocida como Catedral de Braga), un monumento que combina tres estilos diferentes: románico, manuelino y barroco. Es la catedral más antigua de Portugal, ¡incluso se construyó varias décadas antes de la fundación del país! Sin lugar a dudas, esta imponente catedral es el mayor hito de Braga.
Después del almuerzo en Braga, partiremos hacia Guimarães, el lugar de nacimiento de Portugal y Patrimonio de la Humanidad, desde 2001. ¡Guimarães es un verdadero ejemplo de la evolución de una ciudad medieval a lo largo de la historia! Esta fue la ciudad donde nació el primer rey de Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques. La historia de Guimarães está relacionada con la fundación de la identidad nacional y el idioma portugués.
Símbolo nacional del siglo X. Desde el exterior, su estructura medieval es impresionante; En el interior puede tener magníficas vistas de la ciudad. Luego, continuaremos pasando por el Palacio de los Duques de Braganza y visitando la Iglesia de San Miguel.
Observe la imponente estatua de D. Afonso Henriques y camine por la plaza Martins Sarmento. Para finalizar este breve recorrido a pie, descubra la calle Santa María, el Ayuntamiento, la Plaza de Santiago y la Iglesia Senhora da Oliveira.

Our guide was Felipe and he was amazing — very kind, knowledgeable, and polite. He had a wonderful sense of humor and made us laugh throughout the tour. He was extremely helpful and supportive within the group, and his positive attitude made the whole experience even better. The two cities we visited were very interesting and had beautiful, fascinating histories. We also had the chance to visit a few temples and castles, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Raquel was a wonderfully engaging guide and driver for this amazing tour. Her knowledge of the local area was exceptional, and we had a brilliant day. Our first stop, Bom Jesus was stunning with ample time to descend the steps and make the climb back to the site, as well as visit the magnificent church and surrounding parkland. Braga is an amazing city, vibrant and the perfect mix of history and shops/eateries. If you get a chance, do visit CorriQueijo for cheese tasting! Guimarães, the final stop, is filled with history and charm. I would highly recommend this visit and if you are lucky enough to have Raquel as your guide- you will have an exceptional day!

My wife and I were joined by two French speakers and to our surprise, our Portuguese driver & tour guide was able to effortlessly speak to us in both languages! I did not catch her name, but our tour was on time, driving and narration were great and she gave us enough free time to explore things on our own in both locations. Top notch.

We were taken through the Duoro Valley winery tour by Maria Marabuio today. She has a wealth of knowledge about the vineyards. A true local of the area and a wonderful person to be around for the 10 hour tour. Great places to visit, great food and great wine tasting locations. Cannot recommend Maria enough.

I had a really great day on this tour. Both cities are beautiful and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were only three people so it was like a private tour and I really enjoyed that. I recommend this tour.

Trip was great. The weather was not the best but Diego our guide added sunshine into the day with his informative attitude and knowledge about the area. Well done Diego and Pedro.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that Diego and Pedro helped make the experience informative and enjoyable, even with the weather not being ideal. We truly appreciate your comments.
Overall and excellent trip to Braga and Guimaraes to see all the highlights and have enough time to explore each city. Both cities were beautiful and a must see. Our guide José was very knowledgeable and looked after us, but my hearing was not great and could not follow the explanations when there was background noises. Main area for improvement is the confusing information- the ticket said the operator was Citirama/Greyline but it was actually operated by Living Tours. The meeting location also changed but because the company name did not match it was confusing.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the visit to Braga and Guimarães and that José took good care of your group. We also appreciate your comments regarding the audio clarity and the confusion about the operator name and meeting point. We understand how this may have impacted your experience and will take your feedback into account to improve communication and overall service.
Excellent walk, despite the rain, the guide (Tania de Livingtour) is a charm and very knowledgeable of the history
Muchas gracias por su comentario tan positivo. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó del paseo a Braga y Guimarães, incluso con la lluvia. Transmitiremos sus amables palabras a Tania. ¡Esperamos darle la bienvenida de nuevo muy pronto!
