Porto Cruise Terminal
One of Porto's many lovely squares, where Porto's University Rectory is located (of neoclassical style, this building also houses the Museum of Science as well as the Zoology, Geological Sciences and Archeology and Prehistory Museums of the Institute of Anthropology).
Standing side by side, these two churches are separated by one of the world’s narrowest houses.
Housed in a neo-gotic building, Lello Bookstore, the oldest bookshop in the city, is considered to be the most beautiful library in Europe and the third most beautiful in the world.
Considered a National Monument, since 1910, Clérigos Church and Tower are part of an 18th century Baroque style building, which marked the city's urban landscape. One of the most emblematic monuments in the city, Clérigos Tower is the tallest campanile in Portugal.
One of Portugal's most striking railway stations, decorated with over 20,000 blue and white tiles in the main hall.
Enjoy an absolutely delicious lunch at one of the most beloved family-owned little restaurant of Porto.
Built in the highest part of the city, next to the walls that once protected the city, the Cathedral is the most important religious building in Porto.
In the oldest part of the city, this quarter is one of the most colourful and picturesque neighbourhoods of Porto, known for its intricate group of high houses that seem to bend and narrow medieval streets.
Located on the riverbank of the Douro, with colourful and wonderfully decorated façades, Ribeira is one of the most beautiful and liveliest districts in Porto’s historic centre.
The double-decker Luis I bridge is an icon of the city of Porto. It spans the River Douro linking the Port wine houses of Vila Nova de Gaia with the bustling downtown Ribeira district of Porto.

Suasana went above and beyond for our group. She found a driver that could accommodate our large group and changed the tour to fit our schedule. Would do again.
Susana was very knowledgable, and accommodating to our needs. She was able to get a driver for our large group. She went above and beyond for our group. Would do it again.
Susana was an excellent communicator from the start with putting the MANY things I wanted to see/experience into an itinerary that I was delighted with! Susana had great visuals and shared many stories about Porto/Portugal history. Her in-depth knowledge was remarkable. I also enjoyed the delicious lunch establishment we ate at and the surprise treat of Pastel de Nata! Don’t hesitate to book Susana for your private experience. She will NOT disappoint you!

Susanna was fantastic! Her vast knowledge of the city enhanced the tour and gave us one of our best experiences in Porto. She added a personal touch with stories to the tour which everyone in the party enjoyed and took us to a few of her local favorite stops. At the end of the tour she provided us with maps, guides and recommendations to help us keep exploring. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting and will look to utilize her services when we return! Thanks Susanna!
