    Our first stop will be Braga, the capital of Minho, and then we will discover the historic city of Guimarães. Prepare your cameras and come with us to explore two of the most important cities in the history of Portugal! Braga is a city in the far north of Portugal, northeast of Porto. It is known for heritage and religious events. To the east, the Bom Jesus do Monte complex has a neoclassical church perched on an elaborate 17-story staircase. In the city center, the medieval-style Sé de Braga houses a museum of sacred art and the Gothic-style Chapel of the Kings. Nearby, the imposing Archbishop's Palace overlooks the Santa Barbara Garden.

Overall a good trip, good use of a day in Porto. This tour combines two UNESCO World Heritage locations. The meeting point was easy to locate even with Sao Bento station under construction. Several trips were starting at the same time in the morning, but LivingTours' check-in system with multiple agents instructing which bus and guide you need to find helped avoid chaos, hats off to them. I felt that the trip started unnecessarily early, but it's likely a consideration for traffic in and out of Porto. Sanctuary of Bom Jesus Do Monte is certainly a highlight of the day. We had about 45m of free time after a quick introduction by the guide. We were there early enough it wasn't busy at all.  We then got a guided walking tour of Braga and a tour of Se de Braga. The Se interior was impressive, but we had to stand in the courtyard of for good 20 minutes with nowhere to sit, listening to our guide's Portuguese history lesson. That was tough on my old knees and frankly felt like "a filler". (He could have told this story anywhere- for example, the bus-- in retrospect I think we were waiting on another tour to vacate the part of the cathedral he wanted to guide.)  We had sufficient free time to grab lunch on our own after.  The tour description says 1hr at Guimaraes Castle, but we spent far less time, basically doing one circular track of the wall in single file. Which was fine, I don't think we would have gotten much more by having more time to explore there. Our guide shared some things to know about Portuguese paper production, wine production, and the Camino de Santiago as we walked through Guimaraes which I think enriched the day. Free time in Guimaraes was definitely shorter than the tour description, but enough to look through the various World Heritage inscribed locations that are well marked throughout town. The bus was equipped with a USB-A charging port, which I took advantage of all day. Returned to Praça da Batalha in Porto -- which is not exactly "back at the meeting point" as the tour description stated, some of my fellow tourists were confused about that-- at 5:30PM. Which worked out well for me as I was meaning to grab dinner at the nearby Cafe Santiago after anyway.

The actual tour was very good. Our guide was well informed, but also gave us some personal time to explore. I do not blame anyone from the Portugal staff. Unfortunately, Viator, had sent me the wrong meeting time for the tour, so I was not able to go on the day I had selected. Luckily, the tourist company that help helps coordinate all the details moved me to the next day. as you can imagine, it was shocking and fortunately I did have another day I could go. The Portugal staff told me that they had warned Viator about the time change so I should have been notified.
