Olá! I’m Leandro, a licensed tour guide based in Guimarães, Portugal – the birthplace of the nation and a city brimming with medieval charm and vibrant culture. Since 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding travelers from all over the world, particularly visitors from the U.S. and Canada, through the winding streets and historical gems of my hometown. My tours are different from the standard exterior-only overviews. I take you inside the monuments and historic buildings that shaped Portugal’s past, offering immersive, authentic experiences tailored to your pace and interests. I’ve even had the honor of guiding distinguished guests like the President of Greece and a Greek ambassador – but every traveler gets VIP treatment with me. Whether you have half a day or a full one, I’ll show you why so many guests wish they had stayed longer in Guimarães. I also offer a scenic full-day experience combining Guimarães and Braga, with private transportation included.

Guimarães, known as the "Cradle of Portugal," is a historic gem in northern Portugal, where the nation’s first king, Afonso Henriques, was born. The city’s historic center, features well-preserved medieval landmarks such as the 10th-century Guimarães Castle, the 15th-century Paço dos Duques de Bragança, and the charming Largo da Oliveira with its cobblestone streets and vibrant plazas. This tour includes a visit to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, located just outside Guimarães in the nearby city of Braga, approximately 25 km away. This iconic Baroque sanctuary, often called Bom Jesus de Braga, is one of Portugal’s most significant pilgrimage sites and a masterpiece of religious architecture. Perched atop a hill, the sanctuary is famous for its monumental staircase, comprising 577 steps in a dramatic zigzag design, symbolizing the ascent to spiritual enlightenment.
