I really knew nothing about port - my impression that it was a sweet, heavy wine that old men drank after dinner in period British dramas. I learned that there's a huge variance in types of port and that the industry is really working to attract younger drinkers and introduce new things. The tour started at a traditional producer, then moved to an independent, local place and finally ended up at a cutting edge, new house with a fabulous rooftop bar. Our guide Lucas was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about port wine but also full of great suggestions about Porto and had good insights on the history and culture of this great city. Our other tour mates were cool and fun to hang out with - definitely a good thing for solo travelers to check out. At the end of the day I learned a ton and have a greater appreciation for port wine (not sure I'd drink it often but I do know what to order now). Recommend!

Went with a large group of friends for a Douro Valley Wine Tour in March. Our Living Tours guides…read morewere Luis Matos and Pedro Teixeira, who picked us up from our hotel in two vans and drove us around all day while narrating the history and knowledge about the area. We stopped by two beautiful vineyards for delicious wine tastings (Quinta Dos Castelares and Quinta Santa Julia) with a peaceful boat ride on the Douro River in between. The whole day lasted 9am to 6pm. Luis and Pedro did a wonderful job and made the trip seamless and memorable. They mentioned that they partner with different vineyards daily, so you could get other wonderful options for wine if you go on the tour with them. Overall, highly recommend the experience and thank you for a great trip!

We originally signed up for the tour of the Old Jewish Community, but learned so much more as we walked the streets. Hugo and his associate have advanced degrees and are knowledgeable about the history, industry, and economics of the fascinating country of Portugal.

My next visit will include a bike tour along the waterfront!

However, the guy Andre did a wonderful job showing you the major sites, and giving tips on places to explore more on your own, restaurants and food to try. He even sent us an email listing all the things he mentioned and suggested. How awesome is that? The tour is a bit heavy on history, I'd prefer more focus about the culture, and the food, but then it's just personal, and you can see that Andre is really proud of his country and his city. We just showed up at the meeting point at the start time, though you can make reservation online. There is a break at a cafe half way through so you can get a coffee or use the restroom, or just sit and rest your legs.

We met up with our tour guide Nuno at Mercado do Bolhao where we purchased a few ingredients. He was very friendly and knowledgable about the market's history. He made us feel welcomed and we also learned so much from him, like the origins of tea and tempura (I always thought this originated in Japan). After the market we took a short train ride to Vila Nova de Gaia where the cooking class was located. We were greeted by our other host Joseph who also welcomed us , was friendly, and knowledgable. We learned how to make three authentic dishes and both our hosts really explained the process well and answered all our questions. The food, wine, and appetizers were delicious. The best part was that our hosts Nuno and Joseph made us feel at home and welcomed. This was such a wonderful and memorable experience. I highly recommend doing this tour because this is a great way to learn about some of the history or Porto and experience the warm hospitality of this beautiful city.

December 28/2025: A Segway Tour with my Al of Porto, Portugal…read more This was an absolute fantastic Segway tour. Our guide "Vinny" was an awesome guide. He provided enough information for you to understand what you're seeing but didn't OVER provide. The tour was 2 hrs, 20 minutes. The guide added 20 mins cause we have an im issue with a dead battery on one of the Segways. A smart move from Vinny. We went to all the major attractions PLUS many that we never would have seen otherwise. It was great value for the money as far as we were concerned. This is a highly recommended from me. There is a P.S. to this review, I am an experienced Segway rider & that made the tour that much more enjoyable.

As I continue to catch up on the large number of things I did in Portugal from, now, *several*…read moremonths ago... this is the one review I have left that is probably the least likely to have changed in a few months, of a building whose main attraction is the beauty of the building itself, beauty that was all constructed... not recently. Though I did also appreciate the tour, mainly in the history of the building, a building honoring not a king or a royal line like the other glamorous historical building we stopped at earlier in the trip, the royal palace in Madrid, but the history of commerce itself in the country, and the continued independence of a small nation surrounded by Spain on several sides, mostly on the power of their *money*. Money, which of course, they also used to construct this impressive building, that *reminds* you of a building a historical king would construct to honor his own family with stolen riches, but in this case, the riches seem to have been earned more... legally, at least. It is still also used at least sometimes for its original purpose (impressing foreign businessmen, i.e. business meetings), but obviously now mostly for our purposes it's a spot on all the tourists' list of half-hour tours. Definitely worth a stop if you're never been - though it is too bad tickets sell out somewhat in advance, in that I bought 2 tickets to this weeks earlier, not counting on my wife to be feeling rather sick that day and unable to join a tour. I don't think tours are unreasonably priced, given it's a unique, historical, and quite impressive building, but it was definitely not worth it at the effective twice the cost it ended up being when my wife couldn't make the tour. That said, you don't have to reserve the *time* in advance, though as other reviews have pointed out, if you only speak English, they have tours in 3 languages, so you want to get there relatively early the day of your tour, and redeem your tickets, valid for any tour the day, for passes, valid for a specific tour, before all the spots on the *English* tours are taken. They do have tours all day, though. At the end of the tour, they also have a small, presumably subsidized, shop selling pastel de nata, glasses of one specific bottle of Port, and espresso. I say presumably subsidized because, even by the standards of food and drink in Porto, already somewhat better than in the US, all three of those items were... inexpensive, and solid. Obviously that isn't why we went on the tour, but I did have a goal of trying as many of all of those as I could in the time I was in Portugal, so it was a fun bonus.

Impressive palace harkening back to Porto's mercantile past…read more Palácio da Bolsa is a neoclassical stock exchange palace built in the mid 19th century to impress visiting delegations when Porto was the commercial gateway into Portugal. We booked an English group tour (€14) that gathered at the Hall of Nations, a central courtyard with a glass iron dome up top encircled by 25 gold gilded crests symbolizing the countries of that age with friendly trade relations to Portugal. We toured various ornate rooms belonging to Porto's mercantile association. At the Commercial Court Room, a renaissance painting on its ceiling above portrayed the angel of justice with eyes open based on the city's belief. From there we passed by a small studio where Gustave Eiffel once worked on city projects. Next were the Golden Room and General Assembly Room where large wood paneling was made instead with plaster, an innovative approach at the time and the first application in Porto. From the Kings' Portraits Room we finally stepped into the stunning Arabian Room, a massive hall of staggering opulence that was meant to awe visiting trade delegations while resembling the Alhambra Palace. Intricate Moorish revival style details, elaborate geometric patterns from wall-to-wall, and beautifully colored stain glass left us speechless. We finished the tour heading down a grand marble staircase. Skip it or hit it? We found the tour visit incredibly informative and well worth the admission to see Porto's trading roots & past wealth on display.
