    What an amazing day trip! Braga is so full of culture and history, and the climb up to Bom Jesus provided fantastic views. Guimaraes, being the birthplace of Portugal, was a highlight with its ancient castle and lovely squares. Our guide brought the history to life and made sure we had plenty of time to explore. If you're in Portugal and love history, this tour is a must!
