Porto District Kierrokset

Varaus tehtiin Klook-alustan kautta vasta veneilyn aamuna, ja lähtöaika oli klo 14.30. Saavuimme paikalle 20 minuuttia ennen lähtöä jonottamaan, ja laivaan päästyämme saimme istua vapaasti. Laivan lähdettyä pääsin ihailemaan Douro-joen maisemia ja Dom Luís I -sillan ympäristöä, mikä oli todella kaunista.

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.

Nautimme kierroksesta, johon sisältyi monipuolinen viininmaistelu. Opas Thomas selitti Porton historiaa sekä Porton taloutta ja teollisuutta. Se oli oivaltavaa. Myös kuljettaja Carlos ajoi erittäin pehmeästi ja teki pitkästä matkasta mukavan. Ruoka oli hyvää, ja ainoa asia, jonka haluaisin mainita, on kahvin laatu. En juonut kahvia maistettuani sitä hieman ja huomasin, että muutkaan osallistujat eivät juoneet kahviaan loppuun. Kaiken kaikkiaan hyvä kokemus ja kierrokselle kannatti osallistua.

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.
