Tour in guimaraes

I already knew about the free walking tours and on my trip to Portugal I decided to try one. I did it with Living Tours in Guimarães. The booking was very easy to confirm and the guide was very interesting- Guimaraes is a small town, I didn't get tired and visited several places without spending any money with my family from the UK.

visiting the cradle of Portugal

A lovely town that gumaraes is. Very beautifull city center, and the castle and paco dos duques (which we only saw from outside). It is a visit to be made on foot and without sush. There are many details to apreciate. This was a half day tour but we liked so much that we are going to return. Thanks to our guide, that told us so well why Portugal born here.
