What to do and see in Viana do Castelo, Northern Portugal: The Best Multi-day Tours

May 17, 2022 Kiesha Cripe

A self-guided walking tour is the best way to appreciate the stunning architecture of Viana do Castelo. The buildings date from several different centuries so styles vary: highlights include the early 20th-century Basilica of Santa Luzia; the 16th-century fountain and former city hall building at the Praça da República; the gothic Cathedral on the Largo da Matriz; and the Monument to Caramuru and Paraguaçu, built just a few years ago in 2009.

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

As a mother with two children, this was not it. Boring, exhausting for my smallest child and none of us learned anything from here. Stay away!

The guide was SO informative and interesting. You get to see the whole church, skip the long line and learn a ton of history about the Sagrada Familia. Worth every penny.

We had tickets to see Madonna's Madam X Tour in Lisbon in early 2020. On our prior visit to Lisbon with my mother, we had such a great experience with Andre we reached out again to arrange custom tours to Sintra and Porto while there. Andre was such a pleasure and made sure we had got the most out of our trips outside of Lisbon. The first trip was to Sintra. While Pena Palace is a very popular and photogenic site to visit, there are other palaces and hidden gems to include while there. Make sure you include local food and drinks as well. We are still missing the pastries at Piriquita and the local foods at restaurants in small towns along our way. The views along the coastline are spectacular. A couple of days later we did a day trip to Porto to see if we should stay there on our next trip to Portugal. What a great decision! I was well worth the trip to view the city from the bridges, walk through the city, sit and sample port wines (with chocolates) and views at a local distillery. Andre's tours will not disappoint you and if you have can't decide, he is very good at helping you build the tour that best meets your needs. Highly recommend checking out his new website and plan for an unforgettable time!
