Not a great idea in August, but Portugal Green Walks were perfect again. I liked the camino walk better, as there were more cafe to stop, more benches to sit, when you needed a rest. The GPS and the book together did not prevent us from losing our way, but never more than a few 100 m. Very flexible and generous with cancellation in Corvid-19 times.

Went on this tour last October, and had a wonderful experience! Silvia was our guide and she was so amazingly sweet and thoughtful. We travelled with a french couple and she literally explained everything in two languages: French and English. Not only is that extremely nice, I can only imagine the energy that takes :) The whole experience of driving through Douro, the wines, the people we spoke to and the delicious wines we could taste: would definitely recommend.

7. Porto & The “Portucalense” County

Porto, Portugal Be Local - CoLiving Explorers

There is no way to escape Porto’s charm. Every corner of Portugal’s “undefeated” city is full of surprises that you will discover through all your senses. Understanding the history of this colorful city and its surroundings, is understanding Portugal’s history. Having a glass of green wine & grilled sardines in the streets of Matosinhos, is delving into one of the most basic elements of Portuguese cuisine. Listening to a lost fado, is the beginning of getting a feeling only Portuguese have a word for: “saudade”. Walking the alleyways of Miragaia with a local, is the way to see the hidden “simple wonders” that rushed tourists, miss. Riding a tram or a bus to Gaia or Foz do Douro to enjoy the beaches and sunsets, is living how locals do. And of course, sipping a Port wine in one of its family-owned shops is embracing the culture of a city like no other - Bem vindo ao Porto!

Inclusions: Dinner, Dinner, Lunch, Lunch, Local Host, Local Transport Pass, Accommodation for 7 nights, 2 Amazing Escapades (included activities), Free Wander Abouts (optional activities led by your host)
