A double tour in one! The best you can get for one day; You will have the chance to visit Braga, the Portuguese Rome, and on the way, Bom Jesus Sanctuary, then Guimarães, a medieval small town, "Crib of nationality", and first capital of Portugal, on the XII century.

Let's talk food! Minho gastronomy it is excellent , a real experience for the palate that I highly recommend, so if you intend to take this opportunity I can book a nice Portuguese restaurant for a complete experience.

About Tour Guide Fernanda S.

Hi there! Welcome to Guimarães and Braga, Portugal.

My name is Fernanda. In the past I have studied Tourism and worked as a hotel receptionist for 6 years in Oporto. I then returned to University and got a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese/Latin/Greek and became a teacher.

I like talking to people and I have enjoyed visiting cultural sites and monuments ever since I was a child. I especially like to communicate with people from other countries and cultures. Finally, Braga and Guimarães are two towns I know really well. For many years I studied in both Braga and Guimarâes, and I also worked for years in Guimarâes.

I would be happy to be your personal tour guide as I have done so many times for my overseas friends. I would love to take you to popular places as well as places unknown to the average tourists. I can provide you with the valuable insight of a local, along with a unique experience, as I have been doing for the last 10 years as a private tour guide.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to talking with you about your exciting personal tour!

Take care,

Fernanda
