Overview

Being born and raised, besides living in Porto, allows us to show you places that only a local would know. Since this is a private tour, you can customize it to suit your interests. Your guide will also give you some tips of places you can discover later on your own, like museums, restaurants and events. Porto`s narrow and twisting streets, its medieval houses in slopes and its tile work will surely make up for a unique architectural framework. Within the city lies an undeniable historical wealth with genuine baroque churches, along with large boulevards and modern masterpieces of the most significant contemporary architects. Discover its wide green spaces as well as romantic gardens and observe the great variety of trees and flowers, like the camellias. Appreciate our granite buildings with its filigree steel balconies and our hidden skylights, trendy street art and traditional stores, where you can discover local curiosities and more. Live more.

Enjoyable tour with Sara

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed a walking tour of Porto with Sara. It was very informative and gave us a good historical and cultural perspective of the city. Even the rain didn’t dampen our experience!

Highly recommend.

Sara gave us the best tour we have had in Portugal. She knows all the hidden gems and shared lovely stories with us. She also gave us insider tips for our dinner and things to do. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to experience an authentic time in Porto.

Porto Discovery

Published on Sep, 2024

Informative tour with knowledgable guide. Great way to tour the city. Good pacing with exposure to many of the city's highlights.

To anyone wishing to discover the real Porto.

Published on Apr, 2024

From the moment Sara, the passionate owner of Oporto & Douro Moments, met us at our hotel, our day was filled with wonderful surprises and interesting cultural insights. Despite our mix-up with the start time (we were an hour late), Sara greeted us with patience and a warm smile, ready to take us on for the day. We began with a stroll through Porto's charming local shops, where Sara shared fascinating stories of the city's commitment to historic preservation. Learning about the protected shops passed down through generations was a testament to Porto's dedication to its heritage. The city's tagline, "Porto.", truly resonates after witnessing its rich culture and proud history. The highlights of our tour were many, but visiting the Bank of Materials, Igreja dos Carmelitas, Jardim da Cordoaria, and Clerigos Church and Tower offered unique glimpses into Porto's architectural beauty and its community's efforts in preserving it. The olive oil and wine tasting at Fábrica do Azeite, port tasting at Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto, and the delightful jam and chocolate tasting at meia.dúzia were exquisite, showcasing the best of Porto's local dining treats. Our visit to the bustling Mercado do Bolhão was a culinary revelation. Trying sardines, wine, salted cod, and even a sea urchin was an experience like no other. The Pasteis-de-Nada tarts were a sweet treat we couldn't get enough of. Our meal at Venham Mais 5, featuring steak and cheese sandwiches and the spicy francesinha sandwich, was the perfect culmination of Porto's culinary offerings. Saying goodbye to Sara as we crossed over to Gaia was bittersweet. Her expert guidance, deep love for and knowledge of Porto, and personal touches (literally saw the hospital when she was born) throughout the day made us feel not just like tourists, but like friends being shown the heart and soul of her city. To anyone wishing to discover the real Porto, away from the well-trodden tourist paths, I cannot recommend Oporto & Douro Moments enough. Sara's knowledge, hospitality, and the genuine experiences offered are what make this tour truly five stars. Thank you, Sara, for an unforgettable day in Porto. Your tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to connect with the city on a deeper level.

Best tour and guide ever!

Published on Feb, 2024

Sara was an amazing guide. She provided insights into the history of Porto that we never would have learned in other tours or through reading. She provided dinner recommendations at restaurants that only locals go to and shops from local artisans. In addition she provided a great recommendation for another guide for our next leg of the trip in Lisbon
