Overview

Discover the origins of Portugal on a private tour of Braga and Guimarães, two of the most important cities in the country's history. In Braga, ancient Bracara Augusta, explore the Roman roots of the city and its central role in the religious history of Portugal. In Guimarães, known as the cradle of the nation, tour the historic center classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site and discover the places linked to D. Afonso Henriques and the formation of the Portuguese kingdom. More than a visit to two cities, this experience reveals how Portugal was built over the centuries—from the Roman and Christian heritage to the birth of Portuguese identity. A private journey through the history, architecture, culture, and living memory of Northern Portugal.
