PRIVATE Porto walking tour with historian

About this activity

Our tours aim to bring together History, Gastronomy, Tourism and reliable data with the utmost rigor and extension to your experience in this beautiful, historically rich and delicious city of Porto.

We believe that "storytelling alone is not enough", that's why we only work with Professional licensed Historians from Porto instead of the usual guides.

This way you can get the best of a Porto local and the best of a licensed historian that will truly inform you about every corner of the city but also with the scientific knowledge that you won't find in tourism books.

Here we will blend our history, politics, gastronomy, culture, economy, arts and architecture, in a sequential way, with our monumental world heritage, so that you can get to know the Portuguese culture in depth.

Come with us to find Porto with precision.
