Nothing beyond the guiding is included, so entries and food are on you. 5 from 38 reviews at €120 per person for 3h. ## Overview Our tours aim to bring together History, Gastronomy, Tourism and reliable data with the utmost rigor and extension to your experience in this beautiful, historically rich and delicious city of Porto. We believe that "storytelling alone is not enough", that's why we only work with Professional licensed Historians from Porto instead of the usual guides. This way you can get the best of a Porto local and the best of a licensed historian that will truly inform you about every corner of the city but also with the scientific knowledge that you won't find in tourism books. Here we will blend our history, politics, gastronomy, culture, economy, arts and architecture, in a sequential way, with our monumental world heritage, so that you can get to know the Portuguese culture in depth. Come with us to find Porto with precision. ## Key facts - Price: from €120 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 38 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Casta Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - All Fees and Taxes ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:30, 14:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-25 - 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. ## Good to know - Service animals allowed - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels ## Compared with other Private Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #21 of 40** | €120 | 3h | 5.0 (38) | shared | | [Port : 6 Bridges Private Yacht Cruise with Local Wine & Snacks](/portugal/porto/tours/port-6-bridges-private-yacht-cruise-with-local-wine-snacks-383935P2/?format=md) | €279 per group | 2h | 5.0 (226) | private | | [Porto: Private Yacht Cruise with Local Wine, Snacks and 6 Bridges](/portugal/porto/tours/porto-private-yacht-cruise-with-local-wine-snacks-and-6-bridges/?format=md) | €279 per group | 2h | 4.98 (615) | private | | [Douro Valley private wine tour / tastings and lunch included](/portugal/porto/tours/douro-valley-private-wine-tour-tastings-and-lunch-included/?format=md) | €259 | 8h | 4.99 (267) | private | Ranked #21 of 40 in Private Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
