Description

Most travelers think they’ve seen Porto after strolling along the Ribeira and admiring the bridges. But what if I told you the city’s true soul hides in its narrow streets, tiled houses, and stories only a local can share? Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the history and charm that make Porto unforgettable. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its real essence stays just out of reach. Our Walking Tour in Porto changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover the authentic Porto, beyond the surface.

Fun in Porto

The tour was really nice! Alejandro was easy going, very knowledgeable and friendly. We walked around 2 hours and a half but I never got tired, despite porto being so hilly, it was really well planned. I fully recommend it

A trip through old Porto

The experience was spectacular; we explored Porto's most iconic landmarks in a very enjoyable way and had no worries whatsoever. We noticed that the guide was quite experienced and tailored certain points of interest to our personal preferences. The tour lasted approximately 3 hours, but it basically depends on your interest and the time of year you go, as it might be very busy. The experience is quite personalized.

Great tour to get your bearings around the center of Porto and learn about how it came to be

The tour was very nice. The guide was very friendly. We started at the cathedral and went around the whole city center. We visited both the must-see touristic spots and also some hidden gems around the city center. I learned a lot about the city, it's history and the stories behind the most popular spots in Porto. We were craving ice cream along the way so the tour guide accommodated us by bringing us to the best ice cream place in Porto!

A fun walking tour around Porto’s historical sites. Our tour guide, Alejandro, knew an impressive amount about all the history and key events behind each location, giving us a plethora of information and allowing us to take a fun detour for ice cream — a lovely experience!

10/10 walking tour with Alejandro

The walking tour was truly amazing! We had a chance to explore the city centre starting with the Porto Cathedral, after which we made our way through the St. Ana Arch and onto Avenida dos Aliados. Alejandro showed us the best views in Porto and shared the most interesting facts about the history of the city. I highly recommend doing this tour when in Porto!

The best walking tour there is in Porto

Alejandro was the best guide! He gave us many historical, geographical and random facts. The length was around 2 hours but it flew by so quickly. The group wasnt big so the atmosphere was very friendly and there was space to talk and ask questions. Overall Alejandro made the experience amazing and made us learn so much about Porto. I would recommend it to anyone!

Amazing tour around Porto!!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this guided tour! It was truly a beautiful and well-organized tour, and we enjoyed every moment of it. Alejandro explained the history of the city in such a clear and engaging way, making everything easy to understand and really interesting. We learned so many fascinating details that we would have never discovered on our own. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly, approachable, and full of positive energy. Alejandro made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his kindness and sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
