Great day in Braga and Guimaraes

Susan_B, Apr 2026

We had such a great day seeing Guimaraes and Braga. Both cities were very interesting and beautiful. After coming from a few days in Porto it was nice not having such steep inclines to walk. Ricardo was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, informative and patient as we tend to wonder off a bit. He has a good sense of humor and is very personable. We learned a lot about Portugal and got a good history base to build on.

Portugal visit would be incomplete without this!!

Rita_S, Dec 2025

Anyone who loves visiting Portugal MUST visit Guimaraes to know how Portugal came to be. Our guide Ricardo was very pleasant, wonderful and gave very detailed history of this region and made a very pleasant walking itinerary to see all the highlights. A very beautiful little town and MUST SEE. Here Portugal was born!! ❤️

Hello Rita. It's so nice to see your kind words and realize that you enjoyed getting to know the beautiful city of Guimarães. Sometimes small cities are a little "undervalued," but this one definitely deserves all the attention, since as you mentioned (Portugal was born here). The city is the cradle of our nationality, the former capital of the country, and the stage for great events in the formation of our nation. Thank you once again for your kindness. All the best, Ricardo Costa

A great way to tour Ppetugal!

Bruno picked us up at our Porto hotel on time - and we were off! We picked up 2 others in Braga - 2 others from the US. The tour was awesome - while Bruno’s expertise is the national parks he was well versed on the history of Guimares as well as Braga - another historical city we asked if could be included. It was just a great way to see two important cities in the history of Portugal. Thank you Bruno!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words! It is always a pleasure for us to share our culture, roots and history. These two cities (Braga and Guimarães) are undoubtedly those that most closely related to the founding of our nation - A ton of legacy! On behalf of Bruno and myself, we thank you for your feedback, and of course we will welcome you back whenever wanted, to show you even more of this wonderful Portugal. Cheers,
