Itinerary
The route, stop by stop
After meeting your guide we’ll start with the plan for our tour. The rhythm will be slow-paced with lots of stops to soak in the views, take photos, learn how they relate to the history of Porto, and enjoy the 4 different wines and cocktails tastings.
This is a local experience with drinks and foods your guides enjoy in places where they meet their friends or grew up. And we prefer to keep them as a surprise ;)
