ABOUT Porto

Discover Porto with a Passionate Local Guide

Porto, known for its wine and its beauty along the banks of the Douro River, is a city full of history and charm. With us, you’ll explore its streets, discover its rich cultural heritage, and learn about its crucial role in Portugal’s history, from the great expeditions to its importance as a coastal city.

Our Free Tour of Porto will take you through the main attractions of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll visit the majestic Porto Cathedral, walk across the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, admire the stunning tiles of the Porto-São Bento Train Station, enjoy the view of the famous Lello Bookstore, known for inspiring some settings in the Harry Potter universe, and marvel at the impressive Clérigos Church. This Tour offers a comprehensive overview of the city’s most emblematic landmarks.

If you want to keep exploring, we recommend our Ribeira Free Walking Tour, one of the oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods in Porto. During this Tour, you’ll admire the majestic Palace of São João Novo, former home to illustrious families of the city, and enjoy breathtaking views from the Municipal Park of Virtudes. We will also visit the Gothic Church of Saint Francis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its unique architecture. 

No visit is complete without a stop at the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, where we’ll cross over to Gaia, home to the famous wine cellars where Porto wine is stored. Among them stands out Sandeman, a Port wine company founded by the ancestors of the founder of SANDEMANs Tours. Discover the rich history of Sandeman as you explore the legacy of Port wine on this unique Tour.
