A propos de cette activités

En vous dirigeant vers le nord de Porto avec votre guide, commencez votre excursion historique et culturelle dans le passé et le présent du Portugal. Le premier arrêt de votre excursion d'une journée est la ville de Guimarães, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, dans la région viticole du Minho. L'histoire du Portugal prend vie tandis que vous admirez le château du Xe siècle de la ville et le Palais des Ducs de Braganza. Ensuite, traversez le centre-ville historique pour voir les places et monuments de Guimarães avec pour toile de fond la pente boisée du Mont Penha.
Dégustez un déjeuner de deux plats composé de poisson ou de viande dans un restaurant local avant de vous rendre à Braga, fondée par les Romains sous le nom de Bracara Augusta et aujourd'hui appelée la ville de Archevêques pour ses nombreux monuments religieux.
Au sanctuaire Sameiro, admirez l'église de Notre-Dame de Sameiro, couverte d'un dôme, puis visitez le sanctuaire de Bom Jesus Do Monte à Tenões. Ici, montez un escalier baroque s'entrecroisant pour atteindre l'église de pèlerinage à flanc de colline, d'où vous pourrez admirer une vue panoramique sur Braga.
Ensuite, partez pour une traversée du centre historique de Braga, où est née la plus ancienne ville chrétienne du Portugal. Observez les ruines romaines, les fontaines baroques, les majestueux bâtiments religieux, les palais et les nombreuses églises et tours de la ville avant de retourner à Porto.

A wonderful trip! Our tour guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about not only the places we visited but the region and Portugal as a whole. I was initially worried that all the driving would make this trip unenjoyable, but our guide used the time to teach us about the history and customs as well as to point out some beautiful places along the way. The trip was very well timed out, we never felt rushed but also were never left waiting with nothing to do. Our guide was very open to the groups requests and although it wasn't initially planned she allowed half the group who wanted to climb all the stairs in Braga while driving the rest. The lunch provided was very good and they were able to fit our dietary restrictions. By the end of the day the group along with the guide bonded which made the trip that much better. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Porto area.

Yes you will enjoy what you see and learn of this tour. However, more free time is needed at Boms Jesus and Braga. Guimaraes is Cute but small, a walk thru is good but free time is really unneeded. NuNu is a cool guide!

Loved the Guimaraes and Braga Day Trip from Porto. To see the Guimaraes Castle from the 10th century. Stairs and a walkway have been installed so you can walk around the inside wall of the castle which gives you a great view of the surrounds. It gives you a perspective of what it would have been like for people inside looking to defend the monastory from attacks. The Samerio Sanctuary is beautiful and overlooks the surrounds of the city of Braga. Plus the grand old Braga Cathedral. Lunch was at a great restuarent where we had green wine, fish, and pork, with roast vegetables. Plus the Good Jesus of the Mount, outside of the city of Braga. A pilgrimage site with a monumental, Baroque staircase that climbs 116 metres with beautiful gardens. Plus the funicular that uses water and steam as a weight and pulley system to pull the trolley cars up and down the hill.

If you're short on time in Portugal, this day trip is a must in your itinerary! The day tour gave us both a glimpse of the powers both the Church and Monarchy held during the early days. It's a nice balance of knowing the history in different perspective. Our tour guide, Andre was really good in explaining to us the background of the places we've visited and had given us enough time to go around on our own. I would suggest next time to be grouped in an all-English speaking tour so that it's easier for communication. Overall, this place is a must see!

A good day trip well worth doing to see the Countryside and the Mountains North of Porto. A lot of religious content but the religious sites are in very lovely locations so one can enjoy. I would have liked more time wandering around the ancient towns of Braga and Guimaraes as they are indeed old and beautiful. The centre of Guimaraes is like a mediaeval film set. Our guide Pedro was excellent and looked after us very well.
