Porto private Afternoon Tour, by those who know it well.
See how the city of Porto comes alive after lunch in this private city tour.
We'll show you the best of our iconic Porto buildings and bridges. There is nothing like stopping at the Serra do Pilar Monastery and the Morro Garden in Gaia and taking a moment or two to look at the Douro River, and enjoy simply stunning views of Porto.
From there you can enjoy the city of Porto, built along the slopes overlooking the mouth of the Douro river, forming a millenary urban landscape, where the diversity of civil and religious architecture witnesses a Historic Center inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996.
Its monumental and landscape riches capture the diversity of urban layout solutions that can also be found in other Western European and Atlantic-Mediterranean cities, dating back to Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical times.
