Passeios por Dom Luis I Bridge

A private guided tour that I highly recommend when visiting Porto. The guide met us in the hotel lobby and took us to every must-see hidden gem in Porto, and also took many wonderful photos for our family! Moreover, the guide was a local, explaining the former life, background, and history of each monument, allowing us to gradually get to know Portugal and the city of Porto. Although the journey was quite long, the guide told stories in an amusing way, and before we knew it, we had completed the entire tour! At the last stop, Livraria Lello, we were able to enter without queuing, which made others envious! The guide also introduced many local Porto snacks, egg tarts, and seafood, enough to slowly appreciate the beauty of Porto. In short, if you have time when you come to Porto, I highly recommend taking this private guided tour. Only one group of guests participates at a time, making it relaxed and enriching!

Buying this boat ticket from Klook is about 30% cheaper than buying it on-site. Although the ticket exchange location is a bit far, it's under a large white umbrella past the tourist service center and not very conspicuous (I've put its relative location in the first photo). However, you can show your voucher with the cruise company's name and ask at the tourist service center (there are 6 companies on-site, so you must show them the company name). I highly recommend taking this cruise in Porto; it even goes near the estuary. Porto is truly beautiful!

Great tour and very friendly tour guide with great smiles 😁 Windy and raining hard, but we still had a wonderful time, thanks ☺️

Although there wasn't beautiful sunshine that day, the overall experience was excellent. The pick-up was punctual, Aveiro was beautiful, and the boat tour guide's commentary was very entertaining. The guide's English wasn't too difficult, and combined with their gestures, it was both fun and easy to understand. After the boat tour, there was still some time to stroll around, take photos, buy souvenirs, and try Aveiro's ovos moles, making the whole experience very pleasant.

Staff in red jackets were waiting at the meeting point to guide us to the boarding area. The guide and driver used a mix of English and Spanish to share interesting stories along the way from Porto city to Braga, and thoughtfully checked in with everyone in the car. Despite the bad weather that day – rain, wind, and fog – the entire trip was enriched by the excellent guidance, making the experience truly worthwhile. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, the funicular, the Five Senses Fountain, and witnessing Braga's city skyline emerge as the fog gradually cleared, all made the trip worth the price, even in the wind and rain. The weather here is unpredictable. The "Casa das Estampas" shop, which specializes in religious icons, postcards, and local souvenirs, sells umbrellas (around EUR9) and disposable raincoats (around EUR5) for last-minute purchases. These can be very helpful during the winter if you encounter rain and still feel uncomfortable even with a windproof and waterproof jacket.

The tour guide was very friendly and often checked in on me, traveling alone. At Fátima, many people were standing in front of the stone wall taking photos, and visiting the old residential environment inside was a very interesting experience.

了解當地的歷史，沿著城市一路講解。很值得推薦的行程。

The beautiful Douro River, with a tour lasting over 50 minutes. The scenery along the banks is picturesque, with six suspension bridges of different levels and historical significance, allowing us to learn about Porto's historical architecture and admire its beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.
