It will be a complete picture of past and present! You’ll love the city of Porto!
After picking you up from your hotel, accommodation or Leixões Cruise Terminal*, we’ll get to know modern and old Porto, the city of Gaia, and enjoy the views over Porto.
We start in the medieval part of the city, including the Cathedral, São Bento Station and its magnificent hand-painted tiles, and the Ribeira, the heart of the Unesco World Heritage Site.
In the upper part of the city, our walk will take us to the Avenida dos Aliados and the Town Hall, the Clérigos Tower, the Lello Bookshop, the Carmo and Carmelitas Churches, the Jewish Quarter and the magnificent Vitória viewpoint.
For lunch, I recommend a small fishing village at the mouth of the Douro River, where you can enjoy excellent fish and meat dishes in a truly local atmosphere.
Gaia offers an incredible riverside area and breathtaking views over Porto. You’ll discover Serra do Pilar, Porto’s most spectacular viewpoint, and the Luís I Bridge.
* Note: Tours are available from the Cruise Terminal. If you arrive at the Cruise Port, I’ll pick you up and drop you off at the dock. The essence of the tour (and the price) is the same as described.

Tour Reviews
Hands down the best Tour Guide we had during our stay in Portugal!
My daughter and I took a walking tour with Norberto Lopes Pinto in Porto. He was by far the best tour guide we had during our stay in Porto and Lisbon. He is very knowledgeable about the history of his Country. Whether it be architectural, political, or about local gems. His personality is warm and inviting, with a good sense of humor. He created the perfect balance of pointing something out and “moving on” and “staying still” to take in, and learn about about something of important interest. Having Norberto as our first guide raised the bar for each guide after him. A tough act to follow! We’re so thankful to have had him show us Porto. Highly recommended.
I did a private 8 hour tour of Porto with Norberto. It was excellent and so informative. He was right on time in a newer , very clean van. We saw every major site and he explained them in detail with a fantastic knowledge of the history. He also organized a port wine tour and was overall a pleasure to spend the day with. I recommend for any tour near Porto.
Quality time!
Norberto is an excellent guide. He showed me different sides of Porto and we had fun sharing our travel experiences. He even took me to some off beaten path place to taste Porto and as an added bonus the lady in the wine shop was super sweet. I’d recommend Norberto to anyone I know!
Norberto brinda un excelente servicio!
Hicimos tres recorridos con Ennetours: Guimaraes y Braga, Aveiro, Costa Nova y Coimbra y el centro de Oporto. Los tres fueron excelentes gracias a la compañía de Norberto, quien además de guía, tiene mucha experiencia de mundo, pues ha viajado por toda África y toda Asia. Nos llevó siempre a restaurantes asequibles donde comió con nosotros (a diferencia de otros guías que se apartan a la hora de comer). Además cuidó de mi mamá, que es una persona mayor, para que no tuviera problemas en el recorrido.
Como todos los buenos guías, pasamos de los lugares más afamados a los sitios secretos que solamente él parecía conocer. Realmente excelente (y pregúntenle por los tours que hace a Marruecos).
Great full day tour of Porto!
I did a full 8 hour tour of Porto being my first time there. Norberto was awesome from being right on time in a nice clean van to hitting all the sites I wanted. He added excellent explanations and history around each site and pointed out things no tourist would ever notice
Also arranged a nice port wine tour. I highly recommend.
