★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,951 reviews · 9 hours · from $59Our pick

A full-day guided trip from Porto to Braga and Guimarães, with Bom Jesus do Monte and medieval sights included for about $59.

“The day trip to Braga and Guimarães was very good value for money - the day started at 8am and finished at 5pm. Both towns were very interesting and despite the rain I thoroughly enjoyed them. It was great to see some Portuguese places I wouldn’t have been able to visit myself. Our guide Pedro was very kind, knowledgable, and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour! I also used the opportunity for a free walking tour the following day, which was at 9:30am and lasted two hours. Overall great value and a great trip!”

My friend had diet restrictions- no gluten and meat and they provided good food options. Places we visited were interesting and beautiful. Tour is well scheduled - no rush, they give you some free time to just enjoy. We had a great day”
