Description

Let yourself be seduced by Porto’s charming streets and colourful buildings while you wander through its nostalgic historic centre and learn about its fascinating history on a free walking tour.

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the meeting point to start our free tour of Oporto. Once we're all together, we'll begin our free walking tour of the city. Are you ready?

During the next 2.5 hours, we'll discover the top attractions and most emblematic places in Porto such as Avenida de los Aliados. Of course, we'll pass by the Clerigos Church and its beautiful Bell Tower, the highest in Portugal, and admire great panoramic views of the city from its observation deck.

Walk to the University of Porto to discover if the stories that link it to the Harry Potter books and films are true, and then admire the stately San Bento railway station, famous for being decorated with over 20,000 tiles that narrate the history of Portugal.

Afterwards, we'll visit the “Sé do Porto”, the Porto Cathedral, a fortress-like building with battlements that has undergone numerous modifications throughout its history. We'll learn the details of this religious building, built in the highest part of the city.

A Fantastic Walking Tour with Tiago – Highly Recommended! We had the pleasure of joining a walking tour in Porto with Tiago, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Tiago is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who brought the city’s rich history to life with fascinating facts and engaging storytelling. He took us on a journey through the centuries, explaining how Porto was founded, how it evolved architecturally and culturally, and the key historical events that shaped its unique identity.

El mejor tour de Oporto con Noelia Hicimos el tour con Noelia y fue una de las mejores experiencias de nuestro viaje. Desde el primer momento fue súper simpática, cercana y nos hizo sentir muy cómodas. Explica todo con mucha pasión, cuenta historias muy interesantes y hace que entiendas y vivas la ciudad de una forma muy especial. Se nota que a Noelia le encanta lo que hace, y eso se transmite. ¡Nos hizo reír, aprender y disfrutar muchísimo! Repetiríamos sin dudarlo. Súper recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The best tour of Porto with Noelia. We took the tour with Noelia, and it was one of the best experiences of our trip. From the very beginning, she was super friendly, approachable, and made us feel very comfortable. She explains everything with great passion, tells interesting stories, and helps you understand and experience the city in a very special way. You can tell Noelia loves what she does, and it shows. She made us laugh, learn, and enjoy ourselves so much! We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

He realizado un tour con mi hijo y mi marido y tengo que hacer mención especial a la guía. Se llama Ana y es de Granada. Asombroso su discurso. Nos ha tenido encandilados todo el tiempo. Una gran capacidad de síntesis. Tiene una gracia especial a la hora de contar las cosas. La historia final (que no desvelaré cuál es), me ha hecho llorar de emoción. Os la recomiendo 100% Translate this opinion into English.

She had a great capacity for synthesis. She has a special grace when it comes to telling stories. The final story (which I won't reveal) made me cry with emotion. I highly recommend it.
