Excursão de dia inteiro a Braga e Guimarães saindo do Porto

Staff in red jackets were waiting at the meeting point to guide us to the boarding area. The guide and driver used a mix of English and Spanish to share interesting stories along the way from Porto city to Braga, and thoughtfully checked in with everyone in the car. Despite the bad weather that day – rain, wind, and fog – the entire trip was enriched by the excellent guidance, making the experience truly worthwhile. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, the funicular, the Five Senses Fountain, and witnessing Braga's city skyline emerge as the fog gradually cleared, all made the trip worth the price, even in the wind and rain. The weather here is unpredictable. The "Casa das Estampas" shop, which specializes in religious icons, postcards, and local souvenirs, sells umbrellas (around EUR9) and disposable raincoats (around EUR5) for last-minute purchases. These can be very helpful during the winter if you encounter rain and still feel uncomfortable even with a windproof and waterproof jacket.

The guide and the driver did a good job following the itinerary in a professional way. We really enjoyed the trip to both cities and experienced the old European charm of the cathedrals and castle. Highly recommended.

We had an amazingly enjoyable day tour. Our guide Castro was very knowledgeable and friendly. You would not miss out any important information about the places visited with Castro.

Foi um passeio incrível, agradável e informativo. Uma ótima experiência para visitar o centro histórico e religioso de Portugal.

Nice and easy trip with excellent guide.

The meeting point is near São Bento Station and is easy to find. Visiting several attractions in one day saves time and effort.

Viagem relaxante. Caminhada por uma cidade antiga, com igreja histórica, castelo, lojas, etc. Bom para aprender mais sobre a história portuguesa.

Los operadores turísticos fueron eficaces guiando en inglés y español. Nos sentimos cómodos con el ritmo. Había muchos lugares históricos e historias que disfrutamos viendo y escuchando. Tanto Braga como Guimarães eran encantadoras. Recomiendo encarecidamente The Living Tours.

Jose Mendonca foi o nosso guia turístico e foi muito simpático, acessível e cuidou bem de nós. É uma visita agradável a cidades fora do Porto para passar o dia e recomendaria para quem quer explorar. O Jose, o motorista, foi bom e cuidadoso.

Two small towns very close to Porto, small and very distinctive. If you're staying in Porto for a long time, you can visit them if you have free time, but they are not must-see destinations.
