Porto Private Tour: Food, Wine & Culture, Hotel Pickup

One private day in Porto, from your hotel, that does what the generic Best of Porto tours do not. You see the icons without the queues, with skip-the-line entry to Livraria Lello, the climb up the Clerigos tower and the Gothic cloister of the Se. You cross to Vila Nova de Gaia for a Port tasting at Caves Ferreira, the only Port house that has always stayed Portuguese, founded in 1751 and still Portuguese today, while almost every cellar on the generic circuit was founded by the British or is now foreign owned. And you hear the story of Dona Antonia Ferreira, the Ferreirinha, the most remarkable figure in the history of the Douro. Lunch is yours to choose, with the guide's pick for the city's best francesinha. Our lead promise: the authentic Porto, the icons and the only Portuguese Port house, with the queues and the logistics handled.
