A 5 star experience!
I had such a pleasant day with Beatriz and João. The tour was well organized, and will save a lot of time and hassles for transportation for you. I was super lucky that I was the only participant, but the tour operator honored the reservation, which I greatly appreciate. BTW, a big big thumb up for Beatriz especially. She was lovely person first and foremost, and also knowledgeable, sociable. She made the tour by far more memorable. Highly highly recommended.

Fantastic tour company
I had a bit of a bad experience with Living Tours who you see all over Porto with shops and kiosks {they are in red}. Was given the wrong meeting point as has changed but brochuremaps not updated and some sellers not yet aware. Anyway walking down Rue das Flores and saw a travel agent / tour booking agent on left hand side of street. The lady was very patient with an elderly couple and went to great effort to make sure they understood everything. So this gave me confidence and went in to ask about tours and she provided details on the Yellow Bus Tours and with guides and buses being bright yellow should be easy to spot at meeting point which she went into great detail where it was and time to be there etc. So I booked the Braga and Guimaraes option. I got there the next morning and spot on time the bus arrived . The driver said hop in and pick any seat as you are the only one and he was phoning the guide to say he had found me and she was only couple minutes away. When she arrived Anna explained that even with one they will still run the tour. We still did the proper tour and as she said with a smaller group we can tailor it to suit . All I can say it was a great day and probably my favourite tour although I really enjoyed the others as well. If you book on the bus for subsequent tours you get a discount and I did the Aveiro and Costa Nova experience (again on this one only me the driver and the guide B } and the Douro Valley wine tour All in great company as the tours superb, lots information and the guides and drivers really go out of there way to make the experience memorable. I was so impressed that I asked for a couple of brochures and gave one to the hotel where I was staying at and brought one back to the UK to give to my local travel agent who I do most of my bookings with so they can let others know. Many thanks for the great memories and most of the 529 photos that took whilst in Portugal. 👍

Braga & Guimaraes day trip
We had a lovely day trip to the UNESCO site Bom Jesus, then Braga then Guimaraes. Our guide Bea was excellent and driver Emanuel was very good. A little more time at Bom Jesus would have been good.

A Marvelous Day
The Braga & Guimareas Heritage Tour is well worth experiencing if you wish to understand Portugues culture. Our tour guide, Clara, and driver, Emanuel, were both very helpful and knowledgable. I was utterly absorbed in listening to Clara's exposition of Portugues history. Guimaraes was particularly fascinating and Clara took the time to point out specific points of interest and confidently explain their significance. It was a marvelous day and one which I would highly recommend.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.
Is Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Braga and Guimaraes One Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Porto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Porto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
