Before the show, the woman was in the show and she made us feel so comfortable until the show starts. (plz forgive me that I couldn't get your name) Duration of the show was 1 HOUR, guitarists and the singer showed their passions. KUDOS to RICARDO, DIOGO and CARLA. They are amazing !!!! Especially I was so impressed by RICARDO, he explained about background and history of FADO. Ótimo!!!”

Porto: 6 Bridges Douro River Cruise

6.6 Bridges Douro River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6,472 reviews · 50 min · from $23

Cruise from Porto’s Ribeira quay aboard a former Port wine boat, passing the six Douro bridges, Freixo, Vila Nova de Gaia, and the river mouth. Expect a smooth 50-minute ride, recorded or live commentary, broad photo views, and a busy quay where finding the correct kiosk takes care.

“Precooked but you still need to "checkin" at the stall at the bottom of the ramp. Also note, the berthkeyside walkway is used by other operators so don't start pushing to the gangway until you know its your boat. Enjoyed the cruise, could have done with another 20-30mins but overall very informative.”

Porto: Torre dos Clerigos Entrance Ticket

7.Torre dos Clerigos Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,395 reviews · 30 min · from $11

Enter Porto’s Igreja dos Clérigos and climb its 225-step tower at your own pace. You’ll see baroque details, the Irmandade dos Clérigos and Christus collections, then reach a tight viewing area with broad views across Porto. No guide is included, and there is no lift.

“You need to exchange your online voucher for a physical ticket so it’s worth going a little earlier to do that. The view is stunning - there’s two levels of the tower and I almost missed the entrance to the second one so be mindful! It is a bit of a tight squeeze, especially because people are going up and down at the same time but if you’re mindful it’s fine.”

Use the Porto Card for 1 to 4 days of unlimited metro, STCP bus, CP train, and selected boat travel, plus five free museums and discounts at Clérigos, Palácio da Bolsa, port cellars, cruises, restaurants, and shops. Pick it up at Porto Airport or beside the cathedral.

“Useful to have, transport routes were clear and never subject to delay. The card also provided discounts to local attractions, though we barely made use of this. Staying in the old town meant we didn't need much transport, so maybe getting single tickets could be better value.”

I enjoyed learning about the history of each location and about Portugal overall, as well as getting time to explore each stop on my own. Carlos was a superb guide and Tropa was an excellent driver! Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable about everything along the tour and was able to answer all of the questions we had for him along the way. Plus, he gave fantastic recommendations for food and shopping. The whole experience was seamless and I’d recommend the trip to anyone looking to explore the…”
