We wanted to go into some of the attractions and could not. When I booked, I asked to go in the cathedral and the Lello Bookstore.

Got cancelled due to weather. MANY other tour groups were going, so it was very disappointing. We were able to get the tix to the library, so we at least had that.

We did the Private Walking Tour with the Livraria Lello this morning. My wife and daughter enjoyed this tour and our guide was amazing. However I did not enjoy this tour at all. It simply did not interest me and seemed to me to be an expensive waste of three hours.

I regret that I have forgotten the guide’s name because he remembered ours as we said goodbye at the end of a fantastic walking tour. Our guide was a history graduate who gave us a detailed and fascinating insight into Porto’s history as we walked around the old town. Our walk finished at the amazing Lello bookshop where he sorted out a difficulty that we had with our ticket, entirely of our own making. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent walking tour. Extensive and most informative. In addition to the usual attractions, we were taken to more unknown and interesting places like the first hospital in Porto. Guide was very knowledgeable and kind! Five stars!
