What you'll do

See the side to Porto that most tourists miss, on an exclusive tour of the hidden parts of this city that only locals know about, and get a true flavour for life in the Northern Portuguese gem.

We’ll meet you at a pre-arranged pick up point, and take you on a walking tour you won’t find in the guidebooks. We’ll pick our way through narrow, winding alleyways and climbing staircases, through quiet, picturesque squares and down shady lanes, on a tour that helps you really get under the skin of Porto.

As we explore, your guide, a local who was born and bred in this city that inspires so much love in the residents, will tell you stories that seem to seep from the ancient walls and whisper their way down long passageways.

Most importantly, your guide will help to get across the warm buzz that envelopes the city, as the old city and its hospitable population help you to embrace the true “Tripeiro” spirit. Relax at hidden viewpoints that offer beautiful vistas across the old terracotta rooftops, and the deep, silent River Douro.

You’ll discover the momentous events and intriguing facts that have shaped the city, and we’ll keep you up-to-date with the new trends and local knowledge regarding the best bars, restaurants, shops, activities, or whatever it is you’d like to know the local opinion of to get the best out of your trip.

By the time you’ve finished this tour, you can be satisfied that you’ve really been immersed in the culture of Porto, and leave bathed in the relaxed hazy atmosphere of this addictive city.

Pedro Urgel

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.
