Booking tours in Porto: what to know

Porto is busy from late spring to early autumn, and the most popular tours fill up, especially at weekends. Booking online before you travel is the easiest way to get the day and time you want.

Book Douro Valley tours early

Small-group Douro tours have limited seats, and September and early October, the harvest season, are the most popular months. Book a few days ahead, or a few weeks ahead for weekends in summer.

Cellar tours run on a timetable

Port lodges in Gaia run guided tours at set times in several languages. Choose your language when you book, and allow time to walk across the Dom Luís I Bridge from Ribeira.

Porto tours FAQ

Which Douro Valley tour should I choose?

A small-group day tour by minivan is the most popular choice: it includes two wine estates, tastings and lunch, often with a short boat trip. A river cruise is more relaxing but takes a long day. Read Douro Valley day trip: tour, train or cruise?

Do I need to book a Six Bridges cruise in advance?

Usually not, as boats leave frequently from Ribeira and Gaia. Booking online lets you choose a time and is handy in July and August.

Do I need a ticket for Livraria Lello?

Yes. Entry is by ticket, and booking a timed slot online is the best way to avoid long queues.

Are day trips from Porto worth it?

If you have three days or more, yes. Braga and Guimarães, Aveiro and Coimbra are all easy day trips with very different characters, and the Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful wine regions in Europe.

Can I cancel a tour if my plans change?

Many tours on GetYourGuide offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time. Terms vary by tour, so check them on the booking page.
