Lello is amazing. It's iconic. The book store is beautiful, smaller than I thought, hyped for the Potter factor but love that book readers are still out in force. Smaller selection than I thought but it's a beautiful, fabulous marketing magnet.

Very disappointed
We were extremely disappointed. The bookstore was extremely crowded and there was not an opportunity to browse. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this tour to anyone.

Dear Anthony,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the visit did not meet your expectations.
Livraria Lello is one of Porto’s most popular attractions, and during busy periods, the number of visitors can make it difficult to explore the space as comfortably as expected. While the flow of visitors inside the bookstore is not under our direct control, we understand how this can significantly affect the experience.
Our experience was designed to complement the visit to Livraria Lello with a self-guided tour of Porto and a local food guide, offering additional ways to discover and enjoy the city.
We’re sorry that, in your case, the overall experience was not satisfactory, and we truly appreciate your feedback.
Kind regards,
The Luka Destinations Team

The building was beautiful but very crowded. Overpriced activity. Better value to be found elsewhere if you have a limited budget

Boring! Avoid unless you’ve got nothing else to do!
Most boring experience ever. Definitely overrated. There were eight of us and none of us recommend it.

queuing in the heat for a book store - totally worth it!
It seemed odd to be queuing in the heat in two very long queues to get into Lello Bookstore having booked in advance. But the experience was totally worth it, it's just a unique place. From a creative person's perspective, the bespoke cover designs of all the Lello editions were just beautiful, the staff are super helpful, and getting your ticket price back on a book price makes it feel like good value - no regrets, we loved it!
