Expect a fair amount of walking and hills. 5 from 73 reviews at €35 per person for 4h. ## Overview We welcome you to our city, Porto. The city where we grew up and live, the city which we relish and cherish, the city we want you to love. With its medieval origins, Porto is a city that endured the passing by of centuries, having lived times of great success and others of great difficulty while keeping its charisma and pride. These qualities were recognized by Queen D. Maria II, that named the city as “Invicta Cidade do Porto”, Porto the Undefeated City. Walk with us through narrow alleys and amazing stairways. Feel the buzz of the old city and the warmth of its inhabitants. Discover hidden viewpoints and embrace the “Tripeiro” spirit. We will stop in nice gardens and go down to the river that offers some of its smoothness to a colorful, tight and chaotic landscape of a historical center that evolved without urban planning and logistical concerns. Come with us and be astounded by this magical place! ## Key facts - Price: from €35 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 73 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Detours ## What's included - English, French Guide - Donation to a local development association - All Fees and Taxes ## Not included - Personal expenses ## Itinerary 1. **Dom Luis I Bridge** (15m) - Small introduction about Porto city.
