Overview

The North of Portugal is green, but it is also history, tradition and modernity. Minho is the river that borders the north of the country, but also the land of a wine that only has a green name and that remains in the memory of those who drink it. To discover this region is to get involved in GuimarĂ£es - a World Heritage city since 2001 - with its symbolic castle and cradle of Portugal, it is to walk its streets and feel the history. It is visiting Braga with its Cathedral, feeling that the Romans also passed through there and being part of a modern city. It means going up to the Church of Bom Jesus and allowing yourself to be spiritually involved in its chapels and gardens. Minho is to feel the landscape, the history, the culture, the tradition and the Portuguese being.

Great day trip from Porto

Published on Sep, 2024

Great tour to two charming, historic towns, even in the rain. Hugo is very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. He knows the locals and the non-touristic routes. Be sure to try the banana and muscatel in Braga.

A day outside of Porto

Published on Mar, 2023

Antonio was a great guide. Told us the history of the towns we visited with enthusiasm!! We had a very nice lunch at a family restaurant in Braga. Fun day

Private tour at a great value!

Published on Aug, 2022

Our driver and guide, Diogo, was prompt at arrival and was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and handled the tour professionally. We saw all the important sites and had a delicious snack and lunch.

Excellent tour, excellent tour guide

Published on Jul, 2022

Ricardo was a wonderful guide for today's fascinating tour. He arrived on time in a high end vehicle and with plenty of cold water for a hot summer day. He is loaded with facts about Portugal's history and the history of the two cities we visited. He was respectful of my pace, attentive, thoughtful, and just a pleasure to spend the day with. We plussed up our experience with a traditional Portuguese lunch, for which he made an excellent recommendation. If I return to Porto he will be the first person I'll call for more city and surrounding area explorations. Highly recommended!
