# Porto Walking Tour, Lello Bookshop, River Cruise and Cable Car

**Guidekin's take:** Three ways to see Porto in one booking: a guided walk, a ticket to Livraria Lello, a Douro river cruise and the Gaia cable car for the view over the roofs. A tier without the bookshop exists and the afternoon start gets a sunset cruise; meals and pickup are not included. 4.89 from 5214 reviews at €60 per person for 4h.

## Overview

Embark on a memorable journey through Porto, designed to showcase the city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. This full-day tour combines three unique city perspectives.

Begin with a guided walking tour through the bustling streets of Porto. Uncover its hidden gems and well-known landmarks, including the majestic Sao Bento Railway Station, Ribeira district views from Dom Luís I Bridge and Sé Catedral. During this walk, stop at Livraria Lello and discover the amazing interior of this old and renowned building.

After exploring the city’s charming streets, take a leisurely cable car ride. As you ascend, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Porto, the Douro River, and surrounding landscapes. 

Here, board a comfortable boat for a river cruise that offers a unique perspective of Porto. As the cruise concludes, take in the lasting impressions of Porto’s riverside charm and architectural splendor,
