Discover The Historic Heart Of Northern Portugal On A Full Day Braga And Guimarães Excursion


This comprehensive full-day excursion invites travelers to depart from Porto for an immersive journey into the cultural and architectural heritage of northern Portugal. The itinerary focuses on two of the country's most significant historical cities, offering a balanced blend of guided exploration and leisure time. Participants will traverse scenic landscapes while gaining insights into the regional traditions that have shaped these ancient urban centers over many centuries of development and local history.


The first major stop is the city of Braga, renowned for its deep religious roots and impressive landmarks. Visitors will explore the medieval Sé Cathedral, which stands as a testament to the city's long-standing ecclesiastical importance. Beyond the religious architecture, the tour provides opportunities to enjoy panoramic hilltop views that overlook the surrounding valleys. These vantage points offer a perfect perspective of the urban layout and the lush natural beauty characteristic of the Minho region.


Following the morning exploration, guests will pause to enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch, providing an authentic taste of local culinary customs. This midday break serves as a relaxing interlude before the journey continues to the historic city of Guimarães. Known as the birthplace of Portugal, the town features a remarkably preserved medieval center. Walking through its narrow, winding streets allows visitors to appreciate the unique atmosphere and architectural charm that defines this UNESCO-listed destination.


The final highlight of the afternoon involves a visit to the iconic Medieval Castle of Guimarães, a site of immense national significance. After exploring the fortress walls and learning about its role in the formation of the kingdom, the tour concludes with a comfortable return trip to Porto. This well-structured day trip ensures that guests experience the essential highlights of the region while enjoying a seamless transition between these two historic northern Portuguese cities.

Duro valley historical sites cruise and wine tasting Tour guide and driver Paulo and Idalino Lovely taste of the Duri valley with living tours. The meeting place is easy to locate. Expect it to be busy and arrive ly a little early. You will need to book, best to use your smart phone on arrival. This will give you your bus number. There is no cover so if its wet bring a brolly. The tour is easily paced, there was a lot of time on the road, which you should expect that given we are heading out into interior. Comfort breaks were well positioned and in good location. The highlights of the tour are the cruise, vineyard visit and lunch. The views from the bus as you pace through the countryside are lovely so the bus time passes quickly. The driving was smooth and measured, 'you felt you were in a safe pair of hands.' Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and helpful a really likeable chap. Thanks living tours, the weather you could do nothing about, the tour was excellent.

We took the small group Douro trip. Exactly as advertised. Some really spectacular scenery and a lot of great insights into the port wine industry. My only criticism would be lunch entree was so-so and that’s a really subjective ( it had a ton of beans which aren’t my taste). The soup starter and dessert were brilliant. The real star of the show was our guide, Jeorge. He was so knowledgeable, personable and helpful. One of our crew had left some personal belongings back in Lisbon and he helped coordinate the return of them ( just amazing customer service above and beyond expectations). Loved learning from him and having him skillfully get us over the narrow and twisty roads in a safe and comfortable fashion. Highly recommend!

We took a small group Duoro Valley wine tour with Living Tours and had a great time. I have to mention our driver/tour guide Vasco Oliveira. He is very passionate, informative, funny and clearly loves what he does. The two wineries we stopped at had spectacular views and the wine was great. The lunch they served at the second winery was very good and by far the best I've ever had from a tour with food included in the price. On the way back he even took us to an extra destination, Amarante, which was a really cute town. We got to walk across a bridge that Napoleon crossed when he was in Portugal. We then had coffee and delicious local pastries at a bakery along the river that had a perfect relaxing atmosphere
