Porto is made up of contrasts, of baroque lines and time-worn staircases, of narrow streets leading to open vistas and a wine that has conquered the world. On this private Porto City Tour with cellar visit and wine tasting, you'll get to know the historical and sensory layers of the city, accompanied by a local guide who brings each stop to life.
The tour offers a journey through the city's main points of interest, with a focus on authenticity and depth of experience. The Torre dos Clérigos, a masterpiece of religious architecture and one of the city's tallest landmarks, offers a testimony to Nicolau Nasoni's artistic vision. Its church, although often overshadowed by the tower, is a Baroque treasure that deserves attention.
In São Bento Station, the tiles overwhelm the senses. Each faience panel transports you to historical battles and scenes from rural daily life, drawn with precision and emotion.
Porto Cathedral, with its imposing structure and mixed style, continues to be a place of worship and contemplation. The building's presence high above the city reveals the spiritual and symbolic importance that Porto has always given to its cathedral.
Livraria Lello is more than just a bookshop. It's a cultural icon that combines neo-Gothic with literature and popular imagination. Its staircases, shop windows and architectural details make the visit almost cinematic.
On the other side of the Dom Luís I Bridge, you enter Gaia, home to the city's liquid pride. In the Port wine cellars, time is the main ingredient. Over the centuries, ageing techniques and blends have been refined to achieve the perfect balance between sweetness, structure and soul. The wine tasting allows you to savour different styles and understand the true meaning of Port wine.
This tour is for those who want to get to know Porto in an authentic way, with time to observe, listen, ask questions and toast. All this in the comfort of private transport with pick-up and drop-off at the location of your choice.
