Overview

Ready to experience a side of Porto like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Ribeira!

If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Porto? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Rua das Flores, Mercado Ferreira Borges, and more that let the true form of the city shine!

This market was built in 1885, and is one of the best examples of iron and glass architecture; although it was built as a market, it never really worked as such.
