What to expect
Rua de Santa Catarina
1h
Porto's premier shopping street. Humble in its Portuguese origins, it is now one of the liveliest areas in the whole city, especially in the afternoon. As we stroll down the pedestrian cobblestone of Saint Catherine Street, we will pass iconic landmarks that often go completely unnoticed. From historic cafés and their deep cultural importance to the secret presence of spies fighting against the dictatorship, you will delve into Porto's hidden past. Discover the tucked-away alleys and stunning tile facades that big tour groups completely miss.
Avenida Dos Aliados
1h
Stroll through the vibrant heart of the city, learning about Porto's past and how it shapes the present. Starting from this grand avenue, we will travel back in time—the closer we get to the river, the more medieval the city becomes. Along the way, Porto will engulf you in its history, from fascinating local anecdotes to impressive buildings holding Guinness World Records.
Terreiro da Se
1h
Tailored entirely to your preferences, whether you want to focus on deep history, local culture, or iconic photo spots. The only hill on this tour comes with a well-deserved reward. Inspired by the tile magic of the nearby São Bento train station, we will make our way to the top where the city's oldest and most important church stands beside the Bishop’s Palace. Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end—just not necessarily in that order.
