I would only improve the sound system, as it is difficult to hear very well due to the construction work.

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.

Irene è stata bravissima, gentile, coinvolgente e molto interessante. La sua passione per la storia e per il lavoro che fa ci ha tenuti interessati ed attenti per tutta la durata del TOUR. Non ha tralasciato alcun dettaglio e ci ha tolto qualsiasi curiosità avevamo. Consiglio a tutti di partecipare a questa iniziativa, soprattutto se vi dovesse capitare Irene come guida!

Abbiamo davvero apprezzato l’attenzione che ha riservato a tutti i presenti, rispondendo a domande e dando tanti consigli utili su come goderci al meglio il soggiorno in città. Super consigliato!
