Description
Leave Lisbon behind and spend a day discovering the charm, history, and flavor of northern Portugal on this private tour to Porto with wine tasting in Gaia. Travel comfortably with pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation in the Lisbon area and enjoy a personalized itinerary designed to immerse you in the spirit of the city.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the countryside of central Portugal. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the nation’s evolution, from medieval times to the maritime glory of the Portuguese Empire. As the Douro River comes into view, you will arrive in Porto, one of the oldest and most atmospheric cities in Europe.
Begin your visit with a guided walking tour through the historic center. Start at the Porto Cathedral, a monument that blends Romanesque and Gothic elements and reflects centuries of religious importance. Walk through narrow cobbled streets and reach the Clérigos Tower, an 18th-century masterpiece that offers sweeping views over the city. Learn about its architect Nicolau Nasoni and the Brotherhood that inspired its construction.
Continue to the picturesque Cais da Ribeira, a vibrant riverside neighborhood filled with colorful houses, traditional boats, and lively cafés. Cross the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, an engineering marvel built in the 19th century by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel. As you walk across the ironwork structure, take in unforgettable views of the river and the terraced hills of both Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
In Gaia, enter one of the city’s most renowned wine cellars for a guided tasting. Discover how port wine is produced, aged, and blended to perfection. Learn the difference between ruby, tawny, and vintage ports, and understand how this unique fortified wine helped put Portugal on the map of global trade.
Throughout the day, your private guide will tailor the pace and focus to match your interests. From architecture and art to culture and cuisine, each stop is designed to offer a deeper connection to the city and its traditions.
After a day of exploration, return to Lisbon in comfort, carrying with you the rich flavors and unforgettable sights of northern Portugal.
