    The Serra do Pilar Monastery is an austere 17th century church. It has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1996. The Church, classified as a National Monument, stands out for its circular plan, covered by an imposing hemispherical vault, surrounded by a balcony and crowned by a lantern. Inside, the gilded and white carved work stands out. It preserves a beautiful cloister, also classified as a National Monument, with a circular vault with a central rib supported by 36 Ionic columns. This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles. Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks

    The D. Maria Pia Bridge is a railway infrastructure, which carried the Northern Line over the Douro River, between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, in the North of Portugal.

Fantastic Boat Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Nada and Paul were fantastic hosts! Nada’s knowledge of the area and her enthusiasm for her home town is appreciated. Her passion, energy and joy was contagious. Nada provided the right amount of narration and allowing us time alone. Paul’s knowledge of the water and currents was apparent. He had everything timed perfectly. I would highly recommend this experience.

Must do in Porto!!!

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour and experience plus Nadia was fantastic! We booked small group tour and it ended up being just the 2 of us. They don’t like to squeeze in people. We went in winter time and it was wonderful. Nadia was so helpful and had great stories and history of bridges and Porto overall! We had wonderful drinks and cheese plate homemade. She was very attentive and overall a perfect day and experience. We’d do it again and definitely recommend!!!

Nadia & Paulo were amazing hosts and captains! They were so welcoming and eager to share their knowledge of their city! We traveled with two small children (ages 3 and 7) who they do graciously kept entertained so the rest of the family could enjoy the sights! Thank you Nadia & Paulo for such a wonderful time! The girls are still talking about the boat ride with the sunset! ❤️
