Your masterpiece will be ready to take home the same day, making it a perfect souvenir from your Porto adventure.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
This is a private walking tour, so pickup is strictly ON FOOT. We cover accommodations located in Porto Downtown (Centro) and Vila Nova de Gaia riverside (strictly near the Luis I Bridge area). If your accommodation is outside this walking perimeter, we will establish a central meeting point. Please provide your hotel name or address upon booking, and the tour's 2-hour duration begins at the confirmed meeting time.
For guests who prefer a central meeting point, the default meeting point will be at the square right in front of the Porto City Hall (Câmara Municipal do Porto). I will be waiting in the center of the square to meet the guests.
The historical walking tour ends directly at the local art studio where your 2-hour tile painting workshop takes place. After the workshop concludes, the experience is officially over, and you are free to explore the surrounding city center or head back to your accommodation at your own leisure.
