Best Tours & activities in Porto (2026)

Porto's tour companies make it easy to see the city from different angles. Food tours are a particularly good introduction: Taste Porto runs walking tours of around three and a half hours with plenty of tastings, including port wine and a Bolhão market route. Porto Walkers offers daily free walking tours on a tip basis, plus port wine tours, sunset walks and a pub crawl, which suits budget travellers and anyone wanting to meet others.

On the water, Douro Azul's Six Bridges cruise leaves from the Cais da Ribeira and takes about 50 minutes, passing under all six bridges between Porto and Gaia, and it can be combined with a port cellar visit. For a more active outing, BlueDragon runs e-bike, bicycle and Segway tours that take the strain out of the hills, as well as food and wine walks. To go beyond the city, Living Tours operates small-group day trips to the Douro valley with winery visits, tastings, a river cruise and lunch, as well as trips to Braga and Guimarães. Book Douro trips a few days ahead in season, and plan a walking or food tour early in your stay for tips you can use later.
