Description
Discover the true soul of Porto on a 3-hour walking tour designed for travellers who love authentic and meaningful experiences.
We’ll explore the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage city, but also the quiet corners that most visitors miss, immersing ourselves in the genuine Portuguese lifestyle.
Walking through narrow streets and peaceful gardens, we’ll reach iconic landmarks such as Aliados Square, Clérigos Tower, Porto Cathedral, and its beautiful baroque churches.
You’ll also visit São Bento Station, famous for its stunning azulejos, and uncover traces of Porto’s ancient Romanesque walls.
Along the way, I’ll share local insights about daily life, traditions, and sustainable initiatives, plus a few of my favourite hidden spots where locals still gather.
If you wish, we can also stop for a Port wine tasting in one of my favourite traditional wine bars — the perfect way to experience the authentic flavours of the Douro region.
This isn’t just a city tour — it’s an invitation to walk slowly, observe deeply, and feel the rhythm of Porto like a local.
