★★★★★★★★★★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!”

The tour itself was beautiful. Stunning views, waterfalls and lovely but cold pools to swim in. The lunch was deliciously tasty and the lady that cooked was very generous with the food. The locals of the village we visited were lovely and shared some freshly trod wine with us. My advice to you is book this tour and if you are lucky to get Diogo…”

While we had a couple of people in the group that were apprehensive of crossing the bridge, the experience was well worth it, and both made it across without issues! The following walk was absolutely beautiful and we had such a nice time with the guide during and after the walk. Lunch was delicious and they were very accommodating to the dietary restrictions (gluten free for one, and no seafood for another). The whole group would absolutely recommend going again.”
