Those looking to explore the authentic Porto—with its flavors, people, and culture—are in the right place. Here, every detail is experienced as part of the city&#39;s daily life.

Come explore Porto with me—incredible views, local food, hidden gems, and no rush.

This exciting journey begins in Braga, the capital of Minho, and then we&#39;ll explore the historic city of Guimarães. Join us to explore two of Portugal&#39;s most historically significant cities! Our tour begins in Braga. Along the way, you&#39;ll enjoy a verdant landscape of mountains, valleys, and rivers. Braga is a deeply religious city, and this guided tour allows you to visit Portugal&#39;s oldest cathedral and the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus (UNESCO). Later, we&#39;ll visit the Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary, one of the highlights of this tour. Famous for its endless staircases and baroque details, this place is sure to impress! Not only a religious monument, but also a truly romantic and relaxing spot, with stunning views of the city. Here, nature is privileged and lovingly protected. Now it&#39;s time to visit the magnificent Braga Cathedral, a monument that combines three distinct styles: Romanesque, Manueline, and Baroque. It&#39;s the oldest cathedral in Portugal—it was even built several decades before the country&#39;s founding! Without a doubt, this imposing cathedral is Braga&#39;s greatest landmark. We&#39;ll tour Braga&#39;s historic center and discover some of the city&#39;s most important streets and gardens, such as the Santa Barbára Garden, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in Portugal. We will take a break in the historic center of Braga to enjoy a delicious traditional lunch (not included). After lunch, we&#39;ll head to Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal and a World Heritage Site since 2001. This was the birthplace of Portugal&#39;s first king, Afonso Henriques. Guimarães&#39; history is intertwined with the founding of Portugal&#39;s national identity and the Portuguese language. We&#39;ll have the opportunity to enter and explore Guimarães Castle, a 10th-century national symbol. From the outside, its medieval structure is impressive; from the inside, we can enjoy stunning views of the city. Next, we&#39;ll continue past the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza and the Church of São Miguel. Admire the imposing statue of D. Afonso Henriques and stroll through Martins Sarmento Square. To finish this short walking tour, you&#39;ll discover Santa Maria Street, the City Hall, Santiago Square, and the Church of Senhora da Oliveira. Guimarães is an authentic example of the evolution of a medieval city throughout history! Notes: You must confirm your reservation the day before the tour and confirm the meeting time and place.

Minho Tour - Braga and Guimarães

Take a half-day tour of Aveiro, the city famous for its traditional Moliceiro boats and known as the &#39;Venice of Portugal.&#39; Come with us and find out why! The day begins with a guided tour of the city&#39;s historic center. Aveiro is truly a special city: where the ancient and the modern combine in a stunning way. Admire the charming houses and streets enchanted by Art Nouveau details. Did you know that Aveiro is a member of the Réseau Art Nouveau Network, along with Barcelona, ​​Brussels, Budapest, Glasgow, Helsinki, and Havana? Get your cameras ready and snap some photos of the beautiful Aveiro Cathedral. It was founded in 1423 in the Baroque style and has been declared a National Monument. As you walk, learn more about the history and traditions of Aveiro: a fishing village founded on the production and trade of salt. The magic of this trip unfolds on a 45-minute boat ride aboard a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat) along the city&#39;s stunning canals. Relax and enjoy the scenery on this traditional boat, which was once used to collect seagrass in the lagoon. After this delightful cruise, your guide will show you Costa Nova, a spectacular white-sand beach. Discover the famous and colorful fishermen&#39;s houses, typically painted with vertical stripes. Notes: The itinerary may be subject to change without notice due to local circumstances or events. Customers are recommended to be at the terminal 15 minutes before departure time.

Tour of Aveiro and Costa Nova

Conventual sweets are one of the greatest expressions of Portuguese gastronomic heritage, deeply linked to religious and cultural tradition. Originating in convents and monasteries since the Middle Ages, they reached their peak between the 17th and 18th centuries. With limited access to ingredients, nuns and monks used their creativity to transform eggs and sugar into true culinary masterpieces. Egg yolks became the star, while the whites were used to pass on habits or filter wines. This surplus of egg yolks, combined with sugar imported from Brazil, gave rise to a diversity of sweets that continue to delight today. In Porto, this tradition takes center stage. Besides its famous wines and rich historical architecture, the city is home to true treasures of convent sweets. A three-hour walking tour of the historic center allows you not only to sample these delicacies but also to learn the stories and curiosities behind each sweet.

Porto&#39;s Conventual Sweets Guide: Tradition, Flavors, and History

On a three-hour tour through the streets of Porto, ancient tiles guide us on a true journey through Portuguese history. We begin at São Bento Station, where more than 20,000 blue and white tiles depict historical scenes, such as the Battle of Valdevez and King John I&#39;s entry into the city. Next, we head to the imposing Cathedral, where the cloister reveals religious ceramic panels that contrast with the building&#39;s Romanesque austerity. We&#39;ll come across the Church of Santo Ildefonso, whose 20th-century façade chronicles the life of its patron saint. Following Rua 31 de Janeiro, we&#39;ll reach the Capela das Almas (Cape of Souls), famous for its exterior tiles depicting the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine. And finally, we&#39;ll marvel at the Carmo Church, whose 18th-century tiled side stands out as a true masterpiece. Each panel, each detail, connects us with the past, transforming the tour into an artistic and cultural immersion into the soul of Porto.

Stories in Blue: Discover Porto through its tiles, an art that tells stories

Leaving Porto in the morning, we head north with a delicious first stop in Esposende, along the Atlantic, to savor the traditional Clarinhas de Fão—a gem of convent sweets filled with chila jam and wrapped in a thin, crispy pastry. After this sweet awakening, we head toward Ponte de Lima, considered the oldest city in Portugal. Here, the historic center invites a leisurely stroll among cobblestone streets, centuries-old churches, and the iconic Roman-medieval bridge that crosses the Lima River. For lunch, there&#39;s nothing better than immersing yourself in the authentic flavors of Minho cuisine, with dishes like arroz de sarrabulho (rice with sarrabulho), rojões (rojões), or bacalhau à moda da terra (codfish). The afternoon is reserved for a visit to the Adega Cooperativa de Ponte de Lima, where you can discover the production process of the region&#39;s famous vinho verde (green wine), complete with a tasting and stunning views of the vineyards. On the way back to Porto, the route includes a stop in Santo Tirso for a brief visit to the Monastery of São Bento and to savor another convent sweet, the Jesuíta, ending the day on a remarkable spiritual, architectural, and gastronomic note. An itinerary that combines tradition, flavor, and authenticity in a single memorable day.

Tour of Minho, Historic Cities, Conventual Sweets, Wines and Gastronomy (Ponte Lima)

The journey begins in Porto, crossing the banks of the Douro River to the verdant landscapes of Resende, where the morning is sweetened by the famous convent sweets, a legacy of centuries of tradition, preparing the palate for a memorable day. The next stop is Caldas de Aregos, known for its thermal springs and serene riverside scenery, an invitation for a brief pause before continuing on to Lamego. The route continues towards Régua, the heart of the Douro wine region, where the soul of the region is infused. Here, lunch is served at Quinta de Santa Eufémia, a traditional family farm that preserves ancestral winemaking methods. In the afternoon, the journey takes you to Pinhão, an emblematic location for the beauty of its train station and the amphitheater-shaped vineyards that descend to the river. This is the Douro in all its magnificence, where every bend in the river reveals new perspectives. On the return journey, a stop in Amarante once again offers travelers irresistible convent sweets, such as the famous papos de anjo (angel&#39;s pea cakes) or brisas do Tâmega (breaths of the Tâmega), reinforcing the connection between gastronomic heritage and cultural identity.
