What to do and see in Porto, Northern Portugal: The Best Archaeology Tours
The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

João was a fantastic host as he showed us the best sights of Douro Valley. We only had a half day to see this beautiful city and the time we had with João was well worth it. He was incredible flexible with our availability and scheduled us in right away. He took us all around Douro Valley including very top of the wine region, beautiful views from all around, a quick boat tour down the river and a wine tasting to top off the tour! João was an incredibly informed and knowledgeable host who knew all about the sights along our tour. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!!

Ricardo is a great guide who really knows his city and all of its hidden gems. We learned so much on this trip and really got to see the cultural as well as historical sides of Porto. I loved going through the winding streets. It was quite a memorable tour.
