Overview

The heart and soul of Portugal during Medieval times. Guimarães, once a capital, is best described as the birthplace of Portugal and where the first king - Afonso Henriques - was born.
However, Guimarães is much more than the well-renowned 10th-century castle. The old town encompasses 14th-century buildings, a previous Jewish quarter, defensive and military structures against the Moors during the Dark Ages, and much more. In this private walking tour, you will experience this from a local and experienced tour guide. A coffee breakwill be included.

What's Included

  • Tea and coffee A small stop will be included to enjoy local pastry paired with coffee.
  • Private transportation
  • Gratuities
  • Entrance to the Guimarães Castle 7.50 euros per person

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
