What you'll do

This walking tour offers a unique opportunity to experience Porto's lifestyle, exploring lesser-known spots while local guides—born and raised here—share fascinating stories. It’s perfect for those who enjoy connecting with people and getting a feel for the city’s vibrant modern pace.

Along the way, you'll also learn key historical and architectural insights, helping you understand how Porto has evolved into the city it is today.

Welcome to Porto, the city we call home—the city we cherish, celebrate, and want you to fall in love with. With its medieval roots, Porto has stood the test of time, thriving through periods of success and enduring moments of hardship, all while maintaining its unique charm and pride.

These qualities earned Porto the title “Invicta Cidade do Porto,” or Porto the Undefeated City, bestowed by Queen D. Maria II. Join us as we stroll through narrow alleys and picturesque stairways, immersing yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the old town and the warmth of its people.

Discover hidden viewpoints and experience the spirit of the “Tripeiro.” We’ll visit lovely gardens and venture down to the river, where the calm waters meet the colorful, bustling landscape of the historic center, which grew organically, without formal urban planning.

Come with us and let yourself be enchanted by this magical city!

Born and raised in the delightful city of Porto, apart from a two year stint living in Scotland in my younger days, I have lived in Portugal all my life. When I was around 35, myself and a couple of my travelling friends (one of which is my brother), decided to set up our company. We set out scouting Portugal, visiting the places no one visits, meeting people, exploring landscapes discovering all these authentic towns. We know the country like the back of our hands, so when you go on one of our experiences you get an experts insight and learn so much more than you would visiting alone.
