What To Expect

After meeting your guide for a pickup at your Porto hotel, hop aboard an air-conditioned minivan and begin your full day city tour of Porto. Begin with a half-hour drive that explores Porto and its beautiful waterfront. Learn about the city’s blue collar roots that’s helped mold its rich tradition.

Cross the river to Vila Nova de Gaia and discover Porto’s most famous industry, port (a fortified wine).

Return to the port wine lodge and begin a traditional port wine-tasting. Listen as your guide explains how the port industry produces the world’s best fortified wines.

Next, voyage to the city center and put your legs to work with a stroll up the Clérigo Tower. At the top of this Baroque-style monument that stands 249 feet (76 meters) tall, gaze over the winding streets below. Snap a photo, march back down and continue with a walking tour of the city. Head to the Ribeira district and step inside the illustrious Livraria Lello bookshop to admire its ornate wood carved interior. Then relish a visit to the São Bento Train Station adorned with distinguished azulejos tiles.

Your tour concludes with a traditional meal and they chance to immerse yourself in the sad sounds of Portuguese Fado.

After a day uncovering Porto’s culture and history, return to your Porto hotel and wish your guide happy trails.

Good day-but very rushed to see everthing.

Had a great tour guide with a small grope but wasn't enough time to capture everything in details.They need to have less places so we can have more time to understand what we look at.

A great experience for the value

Our guide was friendly and fluent in multiple languages. Our tour team consists of parties from Australia, Morocco and Los Angeles. Hence, she had to switch back and forth from English to French and vice versa. However, she was able to bind all the members in one group by staying in the middle of the group. She also ensured that she spent equal amount of time with each group of guests and nobody would felt left out. She planned the tour effectively and we enjoyed places like the Liberty Square, the Train station, the walk downhill of the old city, Porto, Gaia, a very good lunch at a local restaurant with multiple deserts to share. The boat ride of the six bridges (soon to be seven bridges) was a good way to appreciate the beauty of Porto from the Duro River. The winery was a good choice for the Port Wine tasting. The portions were generous and the taste was great. We had a very pleasant day and enjoyed every minute of the city tour. We all voted out for the "Most Beautiful Book Store" due to the long line up but our guide took some of the guests back to the store at the end of the tour.

Very Comprehensive

Robert Z

, Jul 2018

We did this tour on our first day in Porto to give us a general overview of the city and that’s exactly what we got. Nothing was terribly in depth but we saw just about everything. In this way we could decide what we wanted to explore further on the subsequent days of you trip. Our guide was delightful, eager to please and enthusiastic. She really made the trip fun.

Very positive tour with Lola. Intimate experience, just two of us. We arrived in the city the night before so we didn't have much background, but had we asked to see something, in particular, our guide, Lola, would have been happy to share with us. Lola gave additional recommendations for restaurants and markets to see, which we visited the following day. The boat tour was a bit disappointing as large groups also used the boat, and pushed and shoved, only to leave their seats and ramble around the boat. Our guide was patient and explained how she'd tried to arrange us to arrive early. She tried, which we appreciated. I would recommend Cool Tours to others visiting Porto.
