Nothing beyond the guiding is included, so entries and food are on you. 5 from 38 reviews at €120 per person for 3h. In our comparison: #21 of 40 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## 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. ## Before you book - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 10:30, 14:30: 2 departures a day - Children from €63: ages 5 to 11 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## 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) - Operator: Casta Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: Portuguese, English - Start times: 10:30, 14:30 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 5.0 from 38 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 38 of 38. - 5 stars: 38 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the historical depth, tailored route and local advice; hills and stairs are the practical caveat **Praised:** - Detailed explanations that place Porto's sights in Portuguese history - Routes and historical detail tailored to guests' interests and walking preferences - Engaging storytelling, humour and clear answers to questions - Useful recommendations for restaurants and places to visit after the tour **Complaints:** - No recurring complaints; reviewers note hills and stairs when discussing the walking route Written by Guidekin from the 36 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2022-05-02 to 2026-08-02); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - All Fees and Taxes ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:30, 14:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-03 - 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.
