Paper, Germany,We had a nice walking tour with Henry! Our guide was a local, super friendly and knowledgable about the city! Highly recommend the tour.
It was perfect to get an excellent overview of the city! Henry also gave us some insider tips for the rest of our stay in Porto.
Next time we will do a tour in summer without rain ;)!
Jules, Northants,Enjoyable and informative morning
It was very easy to find the starting point for this tour. Get off the Porto Metro stop at Trindade, cross the road and 2 minutes walk and your there at the bike shop. There was only my husband and I on the tour, so it was very personal, and it was like going for walk with a friend. I apologise if I have got the guide's name incorrect, I think was Tiago!!
Any way he was very interesting and told us lots of interesting details, that we would not have realised by walking round on our own. He explained shops of special interest to us, explaining the Portuguese traditions. His knowledge was excellent.
Part way though the tour we stopped at a coffee shop, (this is an extra cost, which you pay your own bill). We had coffees and warm Pasteis de Natas with cinnamon. You cannot have enough of these warm pastries.
During the tour we were asked if we were ok walking, which we were, otherwise he would have offered us a rest stop earlier on than the coffee shop/toilet break.
The tour lasted just over 3 hours, and ended down by the riverside. Which is an ideal spot to have lunch, or continue over the bridge and explore Vila Nova de Gaia.
This was a very enjoyable morning, and time well spent in Porto. Good value for money
