Overview

Discover the cradle of our independency! Guimarães is a town in the northern region that preserves the medieval style and structure. In this visit, you will understand the history and roots of the portuguese! Guimarães is deply related to the most important events in Portugal's foundation, and also our first capital back on the 12th century. Since then, the area has kept its structure, including the castle and fortified wall. Today, countless pieces that tell the history of Portugal are still very present and visible to everyone. On this tour you will visit the most iconic monuments in the country, but also discover true treasures that even few residents know about! By the afternoon we take a journey to the highest point in about 40km, from where you will have contact with the greenest area of the surroundings, with a fantastic view over the town of Guimarães.

Great tour and an awesome guide!

Published on Jan, 2024

Great experience from the initial contact to the drop off at the end. Our guide, Ricardo, was friendly and professional. He was extremely flexible to adjust the schedule to the weather. The tour was well organized, the transportation was first rate. On the tour itself, he was very knowledge on the history of the old town and sites of Guimarães. The trip up to the Penha area was an unexpectedly gem of a stop. The folks from Kansas highly recommend this tour.
