Porto District Kierrokset

I booked the boat trip through the Klook platform on the morning of the departure day, for the 2:30 PM slot. I arrived 20 minutes before departure to queue, and once on board, I could choose my own seat. After the boat set off, I was able to admire the beautiful scenery of the Douro River and the surroundings of the Dom Luís I Bridge. It was truly stunning.

The Douro River offers various types of tours. If you're short on time and on a budget, you can opt for this one-hour cruise. The boat does not provide explanations of the sights (bridges), so it's not considered a guided tour. For the meeting point, we followed the link to the second floor of the riverside shopping area, but it turned out to be the boat company's counter with the umbrella by the river. The scenery was beautiful and did not disappoint; it's still one of the activities you should plan when visiting Porto.

Se oli upea yhden päivän kokemuspäiväretki Lissabonista, Óbidosista, Nazarésta ja Portosta. Ehdottomasti matkan arvoinen. Matkaoppaat Francisco ja Maria ovat molemmat uskomattomia kertoessaan Porton kulttuurista ja historiasta. Pakollinen, jos haluaa nähdä kaikki kolme kaupunkia yhdessä päivässä. tauot: nähtävyydet matkan varrella: opas: matkasuunnitelma: ryhmäkoko:

A staff member wearing a red jacket will be waiting at the meeting point to assist and guide you to the boarding area. The tour guide/driver alternated between English and Spanish to introduce the small stories along the way from Porto city center to Braga, and carefully attended to everyone on the bus. The weather was bad that day, with rain, wind, and fog, but even in such a disheveled state, the whole trip was enriched by the guide's added value. Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary, the water-powered funicular, the Five Senses Fountain, and seeing the Braga city skyline after the fog gradually dissipated, were still worth the price despite the wind and rain. The climate is volatile, and the "Casa das Estampas" shop here specializes in selling religious icons, postcards, and local souvenirs. The store has umbrellas (about EUR9) and disposable raincoats (about EUR5) available for temporary purchase, which can be effective in helping if you encounter rain in a windproof and waterproof jacket during the uncomfortable winter.

I was a bit worried about going alone before departure, but I really wanted to experience the 516 Suspension Bridge, so I signed up anyway. I was very lucky to meet a fantastic tour guide, Danny! 👍 He not only provided detailed information about the attractions along the way but also kept us laughing, which made me feel comfortable chatting with everyone despite my broken English. The other group members were also very friendly. The tour included a delicious risotto and fish for lunch. Visiting several attractions in one day made for a truly fulfilling and highly recommended itinerary! Thanks to the travel agency and Danny for helping me create such wonderful memories.

We enjoyed tour with variety of qine testing. Tour guide, Thomas explained history of Porto and economy and industry of Porto. It was insightful. Also a driver Carlos drives very gentle and make the long journey comfortable. Food was good and only thing I would like to mention about a quality of coffee. I didn't drink coffee after a bit of test the coffee and noticed other partisans didn't finish the coffee. Overall a good experience and worth to join the tour.

Quite unexpectedly, this turned out to be my favourite experience during my three days in Porto. The tour duration was just right, and the audio guide was clear and well-structured in the selected language, although the app did experience a few minor technical issues along the way. The weather was perfect, which made everything even more enjoyable, and the tasting itself was simply delightful. The setting is truly breathtaking: a vibrant, almost surreal garden with roaming animals (including two impressive roosters and even a peacock) overlooking the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge and the Douro River. The service was warm, attentive and knowledgeable, offering insightful explanations of each wine presented. The vintage Port wine, in particular, was a wonderful surprise, sweet, smooth and incredibly enjoyable. As an Italian, if I had the choice, I would happily have my aperitivo here and nowhere else in Porto. Highly recommended!

Loved this tour, it was informative and Ricardo was a great host as were the ladies at the venues. Would recommend this

The itinerary was fantastic, and our guide Ana was very attentive. Her knowledge and experience were extensive, and she shared a lot about the scenery along the way, the Port wine-making process, the Douro River landscape, and Portuguese history. It's a great trip to quickly learn about Porto, experience Port wine, and discover a lot about the food culture.
