Never got the ticket

Never got the ticket. Disappointed because it did not appear in the email or the app. They would not let us in

Boring! Avoid unless you’ve got nothing else to do!

Claire_A, Jul 2026

Most boring experience ever. Definitely overrated. There were eight of us and none of us recommend it.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Claire, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your visit to Livraria Lello did not meet your expectations and that the experience felt disappointing for your group.

Thank you again for visiting, and we hope you enjoyed other experiences during your time in Porto. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

queuing in the heat for a book store - totally worth it!

Ali_F, Jul 2026

It seemed odd to be queuing in the heat in two very long queues to get into Lello Bookstore having booked in advance. But the experience was totally worth it, it's just a unique place. From a creative person's perspective, the bespoke cover designs of all the Lello editions were just beautiful, the staff are super helpful, and getting your ticket price back on a book price makes it feel like good value - no regrets, we loved it!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Ali, Thank you very much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that, despite the queues and the heat, your visit to Livraria Lello was ultimately well worth it. It’s wonderful to know that you appreciated the unique atmosphere of the bookstore, especially the beautiful bespoke cover designs of the Lello editions. We’re also very happy to hear that our staff were helpful and that you enjoyed the added value of being able to use the ticket amount toward a book purchase. It’s great to know that you left with no regrets and such positive memories of the experience! Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you again in Porto in the future! Warm regards, Luka Destinations

While the experience is...

Hernan_L, Jun 2026

While the experience is great, It is totally overpriced for the time you will spend there. We bought tickets with a short notice. Part of the problem is that Viator marks up the final ticket price with hefty commissions depending on dates and availability. Planning ahead and comparing different vendors may help to troubleshoot these predatory practices.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Hernan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience itself and that your visit to Livraria Lello was worthwhile. At the same time, we understand your concerns regarding pricing and perceived value. Prices on third-party booking platforms can vary depending on availability, booking date, service fees, commissions, and other platform-related costs. We appreciate your comments regarding the importance of comparing options and planning ahead, as this can help travelers choose the booking method that best suits their needs. We always strive to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we value feedback like yours as it helps improve transparency and set clear expectations. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Porto. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

Beautiful Shop - Enjoyable Experience for Book Lovers

Nikoletta_N, May 2026

Great “tourist” must-do experience (especially if you are a book lover and/or Harry Potter fan!). We had a group of eight (4 teens and 4 adults) and we all marvelled at the beauty of the shop.
