Overview

Our tour begins in Porto’s historic centre, following the Douro River beneath five iconic bridges. At Foz, where the river meets the Atlantic, we pause to take in stunning views before crossing the Arrábida Bridge into Gaia.

In Gaia, we visit the Douro Estuary Natural Reserve, a peaceful retreat for nature lovers. Next, we discover Afurada, a traditional fishing village shaped by the river's influence.

We continue through Cais de Gaia, where the aroma of Port wine fills the air and history lingers in every corner. Our journey ends at the Monastery of Pilar, where sweeping views of Porto and Gaia crown an unforgettable experience of landscapes, culture, and history.
