Overview
Explore the soul of Porto and Gaia on a historic walking tour
We will start this adventure in the square of Henry the Navigator, illustrious son of Porto and key figure of the Age of Discoveries. Starting from his birthplace, we will travel back in time to understand how this small country reached the four corners of the world.
We will walk through the old town, exploring narrow streets, stairways and hidden gems in Barredo and Ribeira, the oldest and most authentic quarters of the city. We will talk about medieval Porto, its walls, its customs and the mighty Douro River that gave life to it all.
Crossing to Gaia, we will enjoy one of the best views of the river and the city while sharing the fascinating history of Port wine (winery visit not included).
Along the way, you'll receive local tips on where to eat, drink and continue to enjoy Porto like a true connoisseur.
More than a tour - a walk full of stories, sights and feelings.
