“This was such a fun tour! Alysson and Patricia were amazing guides and they danced with us all night long. 10/10 would recommend this tour!”
Join Diamante Douro for a two-hour cruise from Marina da Afurada, led by guides such as Anselmo, Sami, Rita, or Paolo. See Porto, Gaia, Dom Luís I Bridge, Maria Pia Bridge, port cellars, and the Douro Estuary, then head toward the Atlantic for sunset. Boats hold no more than 10 people.
“It was amazing time on the boat! It was cozy and chill, we got blankets (still follow recommendations and take warm jacket and trouser - it’s windy!) and a cocktail. We listen to nice stories about Porto on the way. And we were lucky to see nice sunset (weather here plays important role). I can only recommend!”
Meet the yellow-shirted Porto Crawl team at Fonte dos Leões for five hours of games, seven drinks, four bar stops, and VIP club entry. Guides such as Inês, Yan, Natiele, and Rodrigo have helped create a welcoming night for solo visitors, couples, and groups.
“The Tour was so lovely, met so many wonderful people and had a blast honestly. Inês and Sara were such fantastic hosts”
At Boiler Studio on Rua Chã, Daniella, Emmanuel, Diogo, and the team guide you through Portuguese tile history and a relaxed painting session. Choose a stencil or bring your own image, enjoy a cocktail, and take home a handmade azulejo.
“Great time painting tiles for the family. A great keepsake of the trip. Even my husband loved to do it who I thought was going to be a tougher sell. The tiles came out great with the help of the young ladies guiding us. Would highly recommend especially for preteens. My 9 year old had a blast!”
Meet your English-speaking guide at the Monumento aos Mortos da Grande Guerra for a three-hour walk through Clérigos and Cedofeita. Taste 10 to 12 petiscos at four local venues, paired with port, wine, beer, and spirits. Guides such as João, Marta, Gabriel, and Flávia bring food, stories, and local tips.
“A beautiful tour with Joao full of history, amazing drink and unbelievably good food, 100-% reccomend.”
At Boiler Studio in central Porto, instructor Daniela leads a two-hour English workshop on Portuguese azulejos, common tile colors, and local design. You will paint a tile of your own, enjoy a cocktail or juice, and collect your finished souvenir about an hour later.
“Boiler Studios offers a great intro to tile painting with with a super interesting overview of Portuguese tile history given by Daniela (who I think owns the studio). Chatting with the other attendee about their trips while making a great souvenir and sipping a cocktail made for a perfect afternoon! The studio is also very close to many tourist attractions so it's easy to combine. And they offer a Pastel de Nata workshop which partially overlapped with our class, which I didn't end up trying but plan to when I return.”
In a 90-minute workshop near central Porto, Patricia, Maria, or Anna guides you through pastel de nata using prepared pastry dough, shared kitchen tasks, music, and regional drinks. You’ll learn the recipe, hear the sweet’s story, taste the finished pastries, and take two home.
“We had such a lovely time at the workshop. Host was so friendly and helpful and made it a great experience to do with group of friends. Enjoyed making and then eating our Pastel de Nata. Location was great and we also enjoyed the drinks while cooking was being done.”
