Discover the City of Bridges, Legends & Liquid Gold
Porto is a city made of stories. From the colourful Douro riverfront to the grand monuments standing proudly above its terraced hills, every step reveals a blend of history, tradition, and irresistible charm. This UNESCO World Heritage city is known for its iconic bridges, medieval architecture, and the world-famous Port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. Porto Half-Day City Tour is the perfect way to experience its essential highlights in a short amount of time.
Join our expert local guide on a Porto sightseeing tour that combines walking in the historic centre with panoramic views from a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. Discover landmarks such as Clérigos Tower, Avenida dos Aliados, São Bento Railway Station, and Porto Cathedral, each one holding a piece of the city’s rich identity. The stories behind the blue-toned azulejo tiles, baroque bell towers, and ancient walls reveal how Porto became one of Europe’s most captivating travel destinations.
This Porto City Highlights Tour ends with a delicious dive into the city’s greatest cultural treasure: Port wine. You will visit a renowned Port wine cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia and enjoy a guided tasting of three exclusive Port wine varieties. Fun fact - Port wine can only be made in Portugal’s Douro Valley, and before modern road transport existed, barrels had to be floated down the river in traditional rabelo boats to age in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. That means every sip you take is a taste of real history.
With its perfect mix of culture, beauty, and authentic flavours, this Half Day Guided Porto Tour with Wine Tasting invites you to feel the soul of the city.
