About
As citizens of Braga (bracarenses) we knew that tourism was well-developed in the North of Portugal, a region that boasts centuries of cultural heritage from Roman times and which is still cherished today. Also called Bracara Augusta, City of Archbishops or Capital of Baroque the importance of historical events can still be seen today in Braga. The Braga identity is present everywhere and can be observed in the streets, squares and buildings, but also in Braga's traditions, festivities and gastronomy. We are committed to innovation and we strive to boost tourism in Braga, going one step further. by proposing unique and attractive tours that are hand-picked after careful mapping of the best Braga has to offer. We believe the result is simply amazing: you will discover the city in a fun and green way with professional advice from a local guide. You will visit more, pay less and with less effort. 100% fun and 0% CO2! Without losing sight of its origins, Braga Tours started a new project in 2015, seeking to broaden its business. Braga is located in a region of unique beauty and rich traditions and heritage that we would like you to discover by offering you a series of tours. Let's discover this treasure of Northern Portugal together.

Jorge was so helpful when our plans had to be changed at the last minute because of a train strike. The Segway training was excellent for a nervous rider in a large empty car park. He also made me feel safe out in the town. His love of his city was evident and he shared so much information about its history, ancient and recent. We particularly liked the tour (on foot) in the cathedral. He also gave excellent tips about where to eat later in the day. One of the best tours we have ever done.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the sites of Braga, experienced by the fun of Segways. The tour guide was brilliant with a quick training session given before we set off. He was very attentive and ensured we were all comfortable before heading off. A brilliant and fun way to see Braga. Thank you.

Last winter, we toured with Jorge around Braga and the neighboring towns. He has a deep understanding of the culture and history in this area, fluently speaks English and was able to accommodate our group of 9 including some kids. He arranged the days to meet our needs and expectations. We wish Jorge and the team at Braga tours the best and you would be lucky to spend time with him and learn about the rich heritage of this area.

My daughter and I had originally arranged for a Segway tour of Braga. After meeting Jorge, and spending a few hours learning about Braga and it's history with him, I was so impressed with Jorge's professionalism and knowledge that I scheduled another tour with Jorge. Jorge was happy to custom design a tour for my husband, daughter and myself that included the Geres National Park and Ponte de Lima. We left Portugal with a more profound understanding of Portugal, it's history and it's people. I cannot say enough good things about it! Braga Tours is a must!

Before coming to Braga I didn't expect the city to be such an interesting place. During my visit with Jorge I got to know about its history, architecture and discovered charming streets of the old town. Jorge was one of the most professional guides I have ever met, so passionate about the place, so knowledgeable, always willing to add something more, good company. Thank you!

Braga Tours organised the tour from our choir in October this year and I must admit; I have never experienced something like this before. The way Jorge and Ana organised and planned everything for our group, the enthousiasm that they had during our visit and everything they were able to arrange for us, it was highly impressive. We were with a large choir and also, a group of followers. All together, we were with nearly 60 persons that were scheduled for 2 different programs during the week. Everything turned out perfect. We visited Braga, Guimaraes, Viana and Porto, with every time a new, challenging program. Next to the concerts of our choir, the Bavo Cantorij, from the Netherlands, Braga Tours organised a lot of other activities, for both the choir members as the followers. We have had an amazing week and if you would ever consider to visit this area, Braga Tours will make the difference for you. I would certainly recommend this organisation to everyone I know!

My Braga tour on the Segway with Jorge was better than expected. Not only I learned a new and fun activity, but Jorge was very knowledgeable about anything from history and culture, to architecture styles and everything else I was interested about. I appreciated a lot all his explanations and passion for Braga, it made me love the city and truly appreciate its unique history and cultural patrimony.
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Braga.
Thank you Jorge!

I have just returned from an excellent afternoon with Jorge. I was on my own and asked if it was possible to go to Guimaraes and Bom Jesus. We agreed a price and he took me round both, along with a trip en route to another religious sanctuary. He was a fount of knowledge about the places we went, spoke excellent English and gave me an entertaining afternoon. I would definitely recommend him if you want to see Braga and its surrounding areas.

We have a group of 14. Can you accommodate all of us together for the Bom Jesus segway tour? How much would the per person cost be? Is hotel pick-up and drop off provided. If no, where is the meeting place. What times are your tours available. I am interested in a 3 p.m. time slot if possible. Thank you, Carla
