Guidekin's take

A private van day to Braga and Guimarães with a local driver guide, pitched at heritage lovers who want the Roman and medieval story rather than a checklist.

Entrances, lunch and tips are not in the price; a Porto pickup option exists. 4.93 from 91 reviews at €179 per person for 8h.

In our comparison: #2 of 10 in Braga, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
