Explore the dynamic, sumptuous city of Porto, with its historic centre and exquisite food and wine.

Discover Porto’s rich history and vibrant culture on a walking tour through the city. Hear the stories told by its stunning ‘azulejos’ — painted, glazed ceramic tiles that adorn churches, train stations, shops, and homes.  

Cruise along the Douro River aboard a traditional Rabelo boat and explore the southern district of Vila Nova de Gaia, known for its grand beaux-arts' boulevards and ornate baroque churches. Delve into Porto’s fascinating medical history, then enjoy a tasting tour at one of the city’s famous port wine houses.  Take a day trip to Coimbra, a beautifully preserved medieval town.

Extend your tour with two nights in Pinhão and discover what the Portuguese have long known; the Douro region is one of the most sublime destinations in Europe. Over millennia, the Douro River sliced deep valleys into the earth, creating a spectacular landscape that is today one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions. Visit four distinguished estates and sample some of the region’s most iconic wines.
