In the morning, you are collected from your Lisbon hotel by your driver-guide. Settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for the 3-hour drive to the north of Portugal.

Your first stop is the charming city of Aveiro, known for its many canals. Enjoy free time to explore the town before hopping back in the car.

Once in Porto, embark on a panoramic tour of the city's top attractions: see Porto’s city symbol, the Torre & Igreja dos Clerigos, and admire the stolid façade of Porto Se Cathedral.

Jose was a great guide...

Beatrice_P, Oct 2025
Jose was a great guide and worked with our group so we could adjust the tour according to what we were most interested in seeing and doing. He knows Portugal really well and his recommendations for food, etc. were excellent. We really enjoyed the convenience of having a tour tailor-made for us.

Amazing....time of our life.

Randy_S, Aug 2024
Our driver, Josepi, was absolute best. His knowledge of Porto and Aveiro allowed us to maximize and action packed experience for the entire day. From the canal rides in Aveiro (Venice of Portugal), to the wine tasting on the shores of the Douro river at Porto to close out the day, and all of the sites in between, everything was amazing.

Maria_C, Aug 2024
We had an excellent tour guide Jose who knew the area very well, took us to traditional places and explained the history behind. The trip was pleasant and he was very friendly and patience because we were traveling with 2 kids. We totally recommend this trip.

Worth the time to pay a visit.

Angela_C, May 2024
Time to spend in Porto was short as the travel time was quite long. But still worth the visit. Our Driver Wilson provided us with excellent services.

Porto

edrinabarsamian1, May 2024
JOSEPI was a fabulous guide. He was very accommodating - giving us a running history of Portugal, and taking his cues from us - taking us to wherever we wanted to go and when we shopped would take a pkgs when we shopped to the car so we could continue unemcombered.. He lives in Porto and is familiar with all its nooks and crannies taking us to places we would never have known to visit. His recommendations were wonderful. He went above and beyond - we couldnt find a bottle of wine we wanted but couldnt find - while we we were eating dinner he found it for us! He made a great day special

Bad company to use

linda_g, Jul 2022
They canceled our trip on us 10 minutes before we were to go not happy with this company I used to use this company all the time will never use again!! I travel a lot all over the world but will never use again. I got reimbursed but my friend did not she lost 149.00

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We thank you in advance for taking the time to evaluate the company. What you're saying is a lie. We tried to contact you the day before to tell you that we were unable to do the tour. No response, so we ask for a valid contact in Portugal. Both you and the other customers were refunded in full. We don't do any kind of fraud with the customer. Thanks

Good experience

Susan_m, Sep 2019
This was a good way to get to know the city. Pickup from hotel lobby was well communicated. Joseph our driver took us to a great lunch spot for bifana. The traffic is really bad in Porto itself so you have to allow plenty of time for activities if going around by car.

Douro Day Trip

Hendrik_C, Aug 2019
Early rise, but well worth it. Thought the drive was scenic, but Douro valley views was even better - breathtaking. Wine was good and our Guide was awesome.

Great tour

natalie_S, Jul 2019
The guide very helpful , knowledgeable and accomodating and friendly. Recommend this tour to see porto in one day

What a fantastic experience, started...

Joseph_T, Sep 2017
What a fantastic experience, started with a 9am private bus pickup. Tour guide milena was very professional, knowledgeable about her city and fun. we toured the livraria lello which inspired Harry Potter writer. Followed by a cup of coffee and some fantastic dessert. The tour was well paced as we hopped from amazing churches and castles throughout the city. Milena sprinkled in contemporary importance as well as classical ones. We had a typical Porto cosine for lunch and headed down to the amazing river area where we launched in an hour long tour of the Douro 6 bridges. We ended our full day with a Porto wine tasting at a very seek rooftop bar.

El viaje estuvo...
