Description

I’ve lived in Viana do Castelo my entire life and would love to share its essence with you! This city isn't just a collection of landmarks; it is filled with maritime legends, architectural riddles, and traditions that I’ve spent years experiencing. I truly love this "Jewel of the Minho," and my goal is to help you see past the postcards and feel the pulse of the streets I call home.

During our 90-minute journey together, we’ll walk a route that blends grand history with the kind of secrets you won't find in a guidebook.
As a dedicated local foodie, I also believe you can't truly know a Portuguese city until you’ve tasted it. Beyond the history, I’ll make sure you leave with my personal "insider’s map" of the best spots to visit and eat.

We’ll meet right in front of the Gil Eannes ship, where there is plenty of convenient free parking nearby. Our walk is flat, relaxed, and designed for everyone to enjoy.

This is a free tour, meaning you are free to tip whatever you feel the experience was worth at the end. Wear some comfortable shoes, bring your questions, and let’s go find the soul of Viana together.
I can't wait to share my city with you!

The Tour was interesting and really good!

The tour guide was so helpful during the whole time and even more. He told me where and what to do while in Viana do Castelo and also to visit other small places. I have been on a lot of walking tours. So I would of course recommend it! Obrigado

Passeio agradável pelo centro histórico

Este passeio guiado feito pelo o nosso guia Martim foi excelente. Não só pela simpatia, mas pelo seu conhecimento histórico. Recomendo esta visita guiada a todos que vierem a Viana não só pela história de Viana que é bastante interessante mas também pela simpatia do nosso guia Martim. Muito obrigado e boa sorte????
