Materials are included; the studio is wheelchair accessible. 4.91 from 146 reviews at €39 per person for 2h. In our comparison: #8 of 12 in Family Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Our Azulejo Tile Painting Workshop is the only one in Porto offering two options of tile painting techniques: -You can experience the original artisan glazing method, just as Portuguese craftsmen have done for centuries. This method tiles need to be fired in a ceramic kiln at 1,100°C (2,012°F), it takes up to 5 days to pick up or can be shipped. -Or choose the ready-to-go acrylic painting option, where your unique tile is sealed and ready to be taken home right after the workshop. Both allow you to create a unique piece of art to cherish. The session takes place in our working artist studio and gallery, surrounded by contemporary art and creative energy. Led by a professional artist, you’ll paint step by step, no experience needed, while also receiving insider tips of Porto’s best art galleries, museums, tile-covered architecture, and local restaurants. A perfect mix of authentic craftsmanship, creativity, and local insight, this workshop is truly one of a kind. ## Before you book - Pickup differs by option: Hotel pickup only on 1 of 2 options (Same-Day pick-up Ceramic Tile) - 5 start times: between 09:00 and 18:00 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €35: ages 5 to 11 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup only on 1 of 2 options (Same-Day pick-up Ceramic Tile) ## Key facts - Price: from €39 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.91/5 from 146 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Eglė Norkutė - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 09:00, 10:30, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-08-31 ## Reviews 4.91 from 146 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 142 of 146. - 5 stars: 141 (97%) - 4 stars: 1 (1%) - 3 stars: 1 (1%) - 2 stars: 2 (1%) - 1 star: 1 (1%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the patient teaching and relaxed studio, but some report undelivered tiles and unanswered shipping queries. **Praised:** - Patient, encouraging teaching that helps beginners and children feel comfortable - A relaxed studio atmosphere with little pressure to finish - Choice of templates or original designs, with practical help on painting techniques - Learning about tile history and creating a personal souvenir - Useful local recommendations shared during the workshop **Complaints:** - Some report missing shipped tiles, while others say theirs arrived - Unanswered shipping queries and difficulty getting delivery updates Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-08-05 to 2026-10-02); last checked 2026-10-04. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Same-Day pick-up Ceramic Tile | €39 / person | English | Acrylic painting option | | Authentic Kiln-Fired Ceramic | €39 / person | English | Traditional glazing option | ## What's included - Ceramic tiles, tools and materials for the workshop. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 09:00, 10:30, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-08-31 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point The workshop takes place at our art gallery/studio OKNA in Central Porto, R. da Igreja de Cedofeita 27, 4050-181 Porto.
