Exploring Douro and its Wines
Ready to explore Porto, through the old neighborhoods and narrow streets?
We will be the only ones on a All Day exploring Porto aboard our classic sidecar as I only do one experience per day.
Discover Porto from the perspective of a local and in a sidecar, at a slow pace and with lots of stops for stories, history and photos! Like a walking tour but covering 10x more and looking fabulous while doing it!
From your hotel, along the river Douro and all the way back to the Historical center.
I will use the old neighborhoods, with its narrow streets ( where no buses can go ), facades and viewpoints with beautiful vistas to tell you the history and local stories of Porto.
Now let's cross to Gaia, enjoy one the best views of the Porto before we make our way for lunch at a small fishermen's village.
After lunch we'll have an amazing private visit & tasting in the Oldest Port wine cellar, learn all about Port, it's history, visit the private cellars usually not open to the public and finish with a amazing tasting of several Ports.
Starts at 10am
