Porto "Old Town" Walking Tour with river cruise (Small-groups)
Discover the soul of Porto on this walking tour through its oldest neighborhoods, cobbled streets, hidden viewpoints, and the magical Douro riverside. From this corner of Europe, brave Portuguese explorers set sail into the unknown, leaving a deep and lasting mark on world history.
We’ll walk past medieval walls, cross iconic bridges, and share the stories that echo through every stone and azulejo. Along the way, you’ll hear about the flavors that define Portuguese culture: salted cod, grilled sardines, and of course, Port wine and vinho verde. There’s always time for food, wine, and good company.
From Gaia, just across the river, we’ll pause to take in some of the most breathtaking views of Porto — a perfect photo stop filled with insights and surprises.
To end this experience, sit back and enjoy a 6 Bridges Cruise on the Douro. Sail between Porto and Gaia, admiring the stunning bridges that link these two cities full of history, character, and unforgettable charm.
