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.

Tour Reviews
Norberto was an awesome guide. Great personality, highly knowledgeable. Very accommodating to our needs, he showed us the best views of the city, shared with us the best stories of Porto’s history and drove us safely through the narrow streets. We truly enjoyed our time with Norberto. We began our day as strangers, and by the time we returned to the cruise ship pier we had become friends, and made some memories that will last a lifetime. It doesn’t get any better than that. Thank you, Norberto.
We had a great tour with Norberto. We explored all of Porto. He is very informative and we had a fun day. Thanks for a wonderful tour.
We spent a delightful day in Porto touring with Norberto. His knowledge was amazing about all the churches and history of Porto. The river cruise was a nice touch and gave us a chance to see Porto and Gaia from the river’s perspective. Overall, we loved the Sao Bento Train Station tour the best. What a fascinating dispay of artwork for such a busy place! Very unexpected, but well worth the time. Thank you for guiding us and sharing your love of Porto.
Wonderful day in Porto with Norberto!
Our group of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Porto with Norberto.
The tour began promptly at 9:30 when we were picked up at our hotel. The van was clean and comfortable.
Our first stop was at Sao Bento train station with its amazing tiles. Next we walked through the oldest streets in Porto on our way to Se Cathedral. During the day we visited many areas that we would not seen on our own. Norberto was able to point out so many things that we would not have noticed otherwise.
Lunch (at our own expense) was at a restaurant in a fishermen’s village. The menu offered many choices but this was a chance to try the local grilled sardines.
The viewpoint at Mosterio da Serra do Pilar offered wonderful views of the Duoro and the Dom Luis bridge.
The included Six Bridges boat tour offered views of the city and its bridges from another angle.
Our final stop of the day, before being taken back to our hotel at 5:30, was a short walk in the area near Igreja do Carmo.
This review only includes the highlights of the day. There was also a lot of interesting conversations and laughter.
Norberto is a very engaging guide who enjoys introducing visitors to his country’s history, Porto’s amazing views and architecture.
We love Porto, and Norberto made us fall in love even more. Thorough, fun details, easygoing. Highly recommend!
Norberto was a fantastic guide! Very professional, cordial, knowledgable, and fun. We spent a great day with him and learned a lot about all aspects of Porto history (lots of interesting stories). He also took us to great spots for pictures taking. I highly recommend him to be your guide.
Norberto is a wonderful guide and provided us with a delightful day in Porto that was interesting, educational and provided us with a real feel for the city. We would highly recommend Norberto.
Norberto did a great job for our first day in Porto. He met us at the airport and gave us a combination driving tour and walking tour thru Porto. We went to the best overview sites for photographs from both sides of the river. Norberto was very knowledgeable in Porto and the Portuguese history.
Norbert was very accommodating and very knowledgeable. Very interesting tour Highly recommend Norbert as a guide if u r in Porto.
This is a great tour and I highly recommend it. Our guide met us at our hotel which made it stress free. He was on time, polite and knowledgable. We learn much about the history, culture and people of Porto. Choose this guide!!
Norberto was our tour guide for the day and it was money well spent. He met us on time at our hotel and we spent the next 6 hours seeing all the highlights of Porto. The vehicle was very comfortable; clean and well kept. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a historical view of Porto as well as insights into the everyday life We had lunch by the mouth of the Duoro. The food was amazing fresh seafood all for a very reasonable price. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Norberto and would highly recommend.
Norberto picked us up at our hotel in Porto, shortly upon our arrival, and led us on an informative, enthusiastic and interesting journey around Porto, with a walk across the bridge to Gaia, and a sky ride with beautiful views over the 2 cities. He gave tips on what we might want to explore that were useful over the next 2 days. Norberto clearly loves guiding and our time with his was most enjoyable as well as educational.
This was an excellent tour to get acquainted with Porto. Norberto knew his stuff and was an excellent guide!
Norberto is not only a great tour guide; he is very much at home in this city. He knows all the in’s and out’s of Porto. He does his work with a passion and is a pleasure to be with.
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.
wunderbare Tour durch Porto und das Dourotal!
Wir hatten mit Norberto eine Stadttour durch Porto, die uns die Stadt in ihrer Ursprünglichkeit gezeigt hat und wir waren sofort begeistert. Norberto ist ein wunderbarer Führer, der alle Details und Hintergründe kennt. Wir haben dadurch einen super Überblick über die Stadt gewonnen. Außerdem war die Kontaktaufnahme und auch die gesamte Kommunikation einfach und unkompliziert.
Wir hatten außerdem noch eine Tagestour ins Dourotal gebucht. Und auch diese Tour war wahnsinnig schön. Wir haben so viele Dinge gesehen und die Zeit verflog im Nu. Und dann noch das ausgezeichnete Essen!!!! Und erst der Portwein-Aperitif am Aussichtspunkt!
Wir können Ennetours nur empfehlen und freuen uns sehr auf ein Wiedersehen. Herzlichen Dank Norberto für die tolle Zeit!!
3 Touren in und um Porto
Unsere 1. Tour, Abholung vom Flughafen, hat super geklappt.
Am nächsten Morgen unsere 2. Tour, 4-stündige Stadtführung. Katharina und Norberto haben uns abgeholt und wir haben die Stadt auch abseits von Touristenpfaden erkundet. Wir haben viel über das Land, die Stadt, die Geschichte, das Essen, Geheimtipps erfahren und die beiden machten die Tour spannend, kurzweilig und individuell.
Die 3. Tour führte uns einen ganzen Tag ins Douro Tal mit seinen wunderbaren Aussichten und Weinen. Norberto liebt seine Heimat und weiss einfach viel über Tradition und Geschichte. Das Mittagessen in einem portugiesischem Lokal war hervorragend.
Die beiden haben uns in unserem Urlaub immer wieder mit Ratschlägen versorgt, zB wo man in der Umgebung typisch portugiesische Restaurants findet usw..
Wir können Ennetours 100 % weiterempfehlen!
Liebe Katharina und Norberto, wir haben uns mit euch sehr wohlgefühlt und wir danken euch für eure große Mühe und tolle Stunden in und um Porto.
Porto-Tour
In Porto hatten wir eine super schöne Tour durch die Stadt und deren Geschichte. Norberto und Katharina kannten alle schönen Aussichtspunkte der Stadt, bei denen man einen atemberaubenden Blick auf Porto werfen konnte. Außerdem wussten unsere Guides viel über die Stadt und die Geschichte, die mit der Porto verbunden ist und konnten mich und meine Freundin so immer mit ihren Wissen fesseln und gestalteten so eine spannende Tour durch Porto.
Auch der Ort des Restaurants war gut gewählt und zu einem traditionellen portugiesischen Festessen gab es einen unvergesslichen Ausblick auf den Fluss, auf Porto und die Nachbarstadt.
Neben ihren breitgefächerten Wissen sind die beiden auch menschlich wunderbare Persönlichkeiten und es war mir eine Ehre und Freude mit den beiden Bekanntschaft gemacht zu haben.
Nochmals vielen Dank für die tolle Tour!!
Liebe Grüße Magda : )
An amazing Trip!
Together with my best friend we had two tours with Norberto. The first one was in Porto. He showed us of course the big, touristic spots like the Church of Saint Ildefonso or train station Porto São Bento, but he also knew those secret and beautiful places, remote form the masses, where you can enjoy this great city the most having an amazing view on the Ponte Dom Luís I while eating Francesinha. Norberto knows absolutely everything about the city and Portugal itself and could answer us every question we asked. He also told us so many things we wouldn´t even recognized otherwise!
Our second tour was through the Douro Valley. We made a picnic on a hill where we had breath-taking view. The trip took several hours including long time periods sitting in the bus, but it was neither boring nor exhausting. Noberto showed us many spots all over the valley where we could enjoy the moment or take some pictures. We also took part in a wine tour at Sandeman´s (tasting some very delicous Port wines) which was very interesting.
All in all it was a great time in Porto and we both enjoyed the tours a lot! I really can recommend Ennetours as Norberto and Katharina are both very lovely and friendly people who really want you to enjoy your trip the most!
Porto is a really beatiful city and this tour was perfect for exploring it! It was a very relaxed tour without the chaos the comes with a big group of tourists. The guide could tell you everything about the towns history and knows exactly where to take you and where the most beautiful spots are. I can really recommend you to take this tour if you visit Porto!!
