Porto offers countless activities for a wonderful stay. Among the most classic yet unmissable: a guided tour of the city, Port wine tasting in a cellar, a boat trip, a walk along the beach…
Voyage à Porto always offers these while respecting a strict ethic, essential to sustainable tourism: local providers who are passionate about their craft, private or small-group activities so as not to disturb residents’ daily life, and always towards authentic places, without distorting their local character.
But since we also love unusual and original experiences, we have developed partners offering the following activities, always with the same values, for your greatest pleasure:
1 – A romantic sunset dinner on a boat
This is not a classic private tour — it is much more. A unique chance to discover Porto from a new angle while dining with your partner in a wholly unusual way: on a boat, at sunset for the crossing, then by moonlight for dinner, watching magnificent Porto lit up on one side and the sublime, illuminated cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia on the other. The charming, sailing-loving skipper is entirely dedicated to your couple, from the welcome at the port to the delicious dinner and the cruise along the Douro. You will feel “alone in the world”.
2 – Climb a bridge!
Yes, you read that right. Climb one of the bridges that separate Porto from the Atlantic, while enjoying an aperitif at the top at sunset. Tempting, isn’t it? No need to be a great athlete: the climb is made easy by the equipment provided and the gentle angle of the arch. It is a totally unusual and unique activity — to do alone, as a couple or in a group. Instructors are constantly present for your safety, and you will not regret your decision when you see the last rays of sun reflected in the majestic waters of the Douro.
3 – Discover a protected nature park
An extraordinary nature park known for its wooden walkways and lush nature. A guide accompanies you for a magical day: departure from your accommodation, a tour of the park, a picnic or lunch, more exploring and a return to your hotel in Porto. You have nothing to think about, nothing to do — just let yourself be carried. Whatever the season, nature will offer you what you are looking for: a total change of scenery.
Bonus – An unforgettable Douro valley discovery
Voyage à Porto offers a local, authentic day trip to the Douro valley, in a small group or private, with an incredible guide passionate about the region’s history and culture. On the programme: discovering the paths along the valley with a tasting stop and a visit to a sublime private wine quinta, lunch in a local village, and much more.
