Fantastic 3 hour tour with local Braga resident, Christiane is a must! She provides great insight into the history of Braga as we walk through historical sites. Tour includes a van ride to Bom Jesus and a ride on the water-powered funicular. Don't miss out on this tour whether you stay in Porto and take the train to Braga or stay overnight.

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.

Great tour of Braga & Bom Jesus! Christiane was very informative & friendly. She definitely helped us learn so much about the area & the sites we visited. We appreciated her suggestions of places to visit & her willingness to take some photos of us. We would definitely recommend this tour. We see ourselves coming back to Braga to visit again.

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

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!
