Porto: Private 8-Hour City Highlights Tour

3. Porto: Private 8-Hour City Highlights Tour

After being collected from your Porto accommodation, you will travel with your guide to the House of Music, which was inaugurated in 2005. From there you will travel to Clerigos Tower, which offers some of the best views over the city. Its doors opened on January 13, 1906, and haven't closed for 112 years. Following the tower, you will travel to the Lello Bookstore, which continues to satisfy everyone from literature lovers, to architecture students, to Harry Potter fans. You will next travel to Porto's historical center and Sao Bento Train Station. There you will discover the Porto Baixa (downtown), which is laid out around the Avenida dos Aliados (Avenue of the Allies), the city's focal point. This is where everything happens, and it is on this thoroughfare that you will find the imposing Oporto Municipal Council building. Afterwards, you will discover the Cathedral of Oporto, which is a church of Roman-Gothic structure. The next stage of your tour will lead you to "Palacio da Bolsa" and the San Francisco Church. The Palácio da Bolsa was built in the 19th century in a Neo-classical style, and has since been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Church of San Francisco was built in the 12th century, and was initially of Romanesque architecture before being transformed into Gothic style, then later into that of Baroque. The Cathedral of Oporto (or Porto Cathedral) is a church with a Roman-Gothic structure which began being built in the 12th century, later receiving several renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside it stands the medieval rosacea of the 12th century, and from outside you can enjoy the lateral galilee, a work of Nicolau Nasoni in 1736 which is decorated with tiles. Crossing the D. Luis Bridge, you will arrive in Gaia (the city on the opposing river bank). This is the spot where Port wine has been aged in hundreds of different cellars, and whilst there you will be able to visit one of those cellars. At the conclusion of your tour, you will be returned to your accommodation in Porto.

I recommend it without a doubt. Our hotel was a bit far from the center (it's cheaper that way) and the card made things much easier for us. It is picked up at the airport. We stayed for 3 days and we bought the 48-hour card and they give you two cards that last 24 hours. As the second one we activated it around 2 in the afternoon, it lasts until 2 in the afternoon of the next day, so we had transport the 3 days (our flight left at 4 in the afternoon back, so we were able to use the card even if it was the third day). It includes metro and bus and they give you discounts on some activities. At the airport they explain everything (yes, they also speak Spanish) and they give you a brochure of these activities. By the way, to go to the city from the airport I recommend the metro, which takes less time. They have some machines through which you pass the card (contactless) both on the metro (which are everywhere) and when getting on the bus.

It was an exciting trip. GetYourGuide was easy to check in at all the places we went. The only thing I think I could recommend to improve the website service is keep updating the times. There was one of the museums we want to enter and on the website it said no availability and when we arrive to the museum they have a lot of different times available.

Wine cellar option didn't work…. It was great that the map can be used offline. The shipping was shortened independently! What we found unfortunate.....

Recommended to arrive early, we tried

Arrived a little later than expected - just 30min meant that we had a bit of a wait in the queue to enter (about 45min). After than no problems whatsoever.

It is a perfect card for activities and transport. Very advantageous
