Day Trips from Porto to Guimarães

6 tours · €57–€179 per person · ★ 4.9

Guimarães is one of the easiest day trips to add to a Porto itinerary, and a guided tour takes the hassle out of getting there. Booking a Guimarães tour from Porto means the driving, the route and the timing are sorted, so you spend the day walking the old streets and the castle hill instead of working out trains and connections.

Most tours pair Guimarães with Braga, a smart way to see two cities in one go. When you compare them, check what's actually included on foot: we'd look for the medieval centre and Largo da Oliveira, the castle and the Palace of the Dukes, plus a proper stop in Braga at the Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary. Some run as a relaxed full-day excursion with lunch; others are quicker sightseeing loops. A private tour with driver-guide and hotel pickup gives you the most freedom; small-group trips keep the price down.

6 Guimarães tours from €57. Private and small-group day trips from Porto, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
