Amarante Guided Tour

We'll meet at your selected time at the São Gonçalo Church church to begin our guided tour of Amarante. During our tour, we'll discover the fascinating history of this Portuguese city.

Home to the Tâmega River and the iconic São Gonzçalo Monastery, Amarante is a town full of culture, history and heritage.

Throughout the tour, we'll head inside the São Gonçalo Church and make our way through Amarante's many streets and alleys. We'll discover some of its main monuments as well as its most interesting stories and legends. You'll also find out about famous figures who've left their mark on the city, such as Antonio do Lago Cerqueira and Amadeo de Souza Cardoso.

Lastly, we'll finish off the tour by tasting some of the area's typical desserts with a tea or coffee - what a treat!

After a 2-hour guided tour, we'll say our goodbyes back at the starting point.

La visita es un tanto escasa en contenido, Liliana, nuestra guía, ha sido muy atenta y agradable, y con mucho esfuerzo nos ha explicado todo lo que ha podido en “Portuñol”, no me parece bien que si el tour se contrata en español el guía no hablé español. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit is somewhat lacking in content, Liliana, our guide, has been very attentive and pleasant, and with a lot of effort she has explained everything she could in "Portuñol", I don't think it's right that if the tour is hired in Spanish the guide did not speak Spanish.

João es un guía genial, nos ha enseñado Amarante de uan forma inconcebible. Lo bueno, además, que ha sido casi una ruta provada ya que sólo estábamos nosotros. Se ha volcado por completo y ha satisfecho nuestra ansia de conocimiento. Amable, simpático, sonriente y sin prisa. Excelente y súper recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

João is a great guide, he has taught us Amarante in an inconceivable way. The good thing, also, that it has been almost a private route since it was just us. He has completely overturned and satisfied our thirst for knowledge. Kind, friendly, smiling and unhurried. Excellent and highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.
