A great introduction to Braga - I had a visit to Braga for one day. The best way to get a first impression of this interesting and beautiful city is a walking tour with Christiane of Eco Trilha. She is very kind and dedicated. You get a lot of information and advices from her. The tour lasts 3 hours including a private transfer to Bom Jesus with a visit of the cathedral and the park. Bom Jesus is a must visit in Portugal's north. I enjoyed the tour very much. All entrance fees are included. In my estimation, the value of this offer is higher than the price. I wish Christiane and Eco Trilha much success and many guests after the difficult time of the pandemic. Best regards, Marco

To get the best out of your visit to Braga - We had a short visit to Braga and to fully exploit it decided to book this tour. It was the best idea! We had the chance to see the city center with a local and very well prepared guide (Cristiane). She was super kind, and gave us many information and suggestions! After a rich walk in the center of Braga, Cristiane took us to Bom Jesus where we visited the sanctuary and the park. We highly recommend booking this tour!

We learned a lot! - As my husband and I were the only people, we had a private tour! The guide Cristiane was knowlegeable and we learned quite a bit. It was also very convenient to have comfortable transportation up to Bom Jesus. Cristiane took us all around the area, not just the church. I'm very glad we did this and would definitely recommend to people who want to learn more about Braga.
