Private Tour of Guimarães & Braga

Explore the Historic Heart of Northern Portugal

Uncover the soul of the Minho region on this exclusive private tour through two of Portugal’s most iconic and historically rich cities—Guimarães and Braga. Nestled in the lush green landscapes of northern Portugal, this journey blends ancient legacy with contemporary charm.

Our adventure begins in Guimarães, widely regarded as the cradle of Portugal. This is where Afonso Henriques, the nation’s first king, was born. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Guimarães offers a beautifully preserved medieval atmosphere. Stroll through narrow cobbled streets lined with granite buildings, wrought-iron balconies, old porticos, and imposing towers. The city feels like a step back in time—where history whispers from every corner.

We continue to Braga, Portugal’s third-largest city and its oldest. With origins dating back to 16 B.C. as “Bracara Augusta,” a Roman settlement honoring Emperor Augustus, Braga is one of the world’s oldest Christian cities. Its layered past is reflected in an array of architectural styles—from the Romanesque to the Baroque—most notably showcased in its majestic Cathedral. The city’s streets are adorned with elegant 18th-century houses, ornate churches, and religious shrines that reveal Braga’s deep spiritual roots.

Despite its ancient foundations, Braga pulses with youthful energy. A vibrant population, modern cultural offerings, and lively urban life give it a cosmopolitan edge, while the regular toll of church bells gently reminds visitors of its enduring sacred traditions.

Let us guide you through centuries of Portuguese history, where every stone has a story and every moment is filled with wonder.
