On this unique private tour in Porto, enjoy the perfect combination of land and river experiences. We’ll start by picking you up at your hotel and driving you to the Douro Marina, where you’ll embark on a private boat tour on the Douro River. Cruise from Afurada to Palácio do Freixo during a relaxing 1.5-hour ride, and enjoy a glass of Port wine as you take in panoramic views of Porto from the water.
After the river cruise, discover the city by car on a guided Porto sightseeing tour. Explore the Avenida da Boavista, City Park, Matosinhos Beach, and the charming seaside area of Foz. We’ll then head to Rua de Santa Catarina, known for its lively atmosphere, street performers, and iconic locations like the Capela das Almas, covered with 16,000 blue tiles, the Art Nouveau gem Pérola do Bolhão, and the world-famous Majestic Café.
Next, explore the local culture around Batalha Square, including the São João National Theatre, the historic Gazela restaurant, and the Church of Saint Ildefonso. From there, we’ll drive along Rua 31 de Janeiro toward Aliados Avenue, where you can enjoy a great photo opportunity of the Clérigos Tower.
We’ll also visit the São Bento Train Station, renowned for its tile panels by Jorge Colaço, and the Porto Cathedral nearby. On the way, we’ll stop by the iconic Lello Bookstore, the twin churches Carmo and Carmelitas, and the former prison that now houses the Portuguese Photography Museum. Hear the tragic love story of Camilo Castelo Branco and Ana Plácido, tied to this historic site.
We’ll stroll through picturesque streets like Rua das Taipas and Rua do Belmonte, arriving at the Palácio da Bolsa and the Ferreira Borges Market. If you wish, we can also visit the Church of São Francisco and the house of Prince Henry the Navigator, near the Ribeira riverside.
