Guimarães Half-Day Walking Tour

Guimarães, a city in northern Portugal, is known as the "Cradle of Portugal" due to its pivotal role in the nation’s foundation. It was the birthplace of Portugal’s first king, Afonso Henriques, and the site of the 1128 Battle of São Mamede, a key event in establishing Portuguese independence. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, showcases well-preserved medieval architecture, including the 10th-century Guimarães Castle, the 15th-century Paço dos Duques de Bragança, and charming plazas like Largo da Oliveira. 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.
