Porto Private Walking tour with a Professional Guide
Get your feet ready for one of the oldest and noblest cities in Portugal: the “cidade invicta”, the undefeated city” of Porto. Today Porto is the second largest and most important Portuguese city, classified by UNESCO’s as World Heritage in 1996. No other city embraces the river like Porto, with the Ribeira’s patchwork of tiled buildings and the view to the Port wine cellars. We will walk its narrow streets and cozy city center, enjoy breathtaking views from its several viewpoints, learn it’s rich history, tradition and get acquainted with the local lifestyle. We will also get to know the influence of this city in pop culture and the Harry Potter phenomenon.
