Private Tour

Discover Porto’s historic center on a private walking tour accompanied by a local guide dedicated exclusively to your group. Over approximately 3 hours, explore the city’s history, culture and traditions at a more personalized pace.

Meet your guide at Praça Gomes Teixeira, by the Lions Fountain, and begin the tour near the Carmo and Carmelitas churches, known for their architecture and traditional Portuguese tiles.

Continue through the Clérigos area, pass Liberdade Square and visit São Bento Railway Station, famous for its tile panels depicting important moments in Portuguese history.

Explore some of Porto’s oldest streets, pass the Cathedral and walk towards the Ribeira district while learning about the city’s development, the Douro River and the lives of local communities.

As this is a private experience, the guide can adapt the pace and commentary to the group’s interests, within the planned route and duration.

The main landmarks are viewed from the outside. Admission is not included, allowing more time to explore different areas of the historic center.

The order of the route may vary due to weather conditions, pedestrian traffic or operational factors.
