Private tour with Dutch guide in Porto

You'll visit Sé do Porto, the city's main Cathedral (without entering). There you'll learn about the origin of the city, but also get a general view of contemporary Porto. From there on you'll be walking through narrow streets and see medieval architecture of Porto's oldest neighbourhood Sé.

You can't miss out on Porto's amazing railway station. With a main entrance hall that is fully decorated with the characteristic Portuguese tiles, São Bento is a must visit.

Getting to know Porto also means learning a bit about it's food culture. You'll make a stop a the city's main food market Bolhão, a great place to smell and taste local cheeses, fruits, vegetables and even wines

See Porto's most important square, and the city's town hall. You'll hear about its past and learn to understand why the residents flock to this square to participate in demonstrations or just to listen to open air concerts.

On your way up, to a higher level in the city, you'll pass by the famous Lello bookshop. During a short stop close by the shop, without entering, you'll find out what's the background story behind this beautiful, emblematical bookshop.

Close to Lello bookshops is the Gomes Texeira square, where the University of Porto is located. It's an area with student bars and a lively street life.

This church is built next to another church, the Igreja dos Carmelitos. Igreja do Carmo is hard to escape with its beautiful wall of tiles on the outside.

You'll walk through the popular Cordoaria garden, in summertime a place bustling with activity, like music shows, or even theatre.

You'll hear about the history of the tallest tower in town, and about its Italian architect who famously was buried on the premisses of the tower, but who's grave got 'lost.'

Nowadays it is a museum of photography but in the past this building was an infamous prison. One of Portugal's best known writers spent a year there, and while inside wrote the classical Portuguese novel of the 19th century, Amor de Perdição.

Walk down past the prison into the cobbled stone street towards one of the best viewpoints of the city. From the Miradoura da Vitoria you'll have an excellent viewpoint of the old city and the river.

Descending the hill you'll end at the docks of Porto's harbour quarter, Ribeira. A heritage site, Ribeira nowadays is the centre of a broad bars, restaurants and wine tasting places. Here the tour will come to an end.
