WHAT YOU VISIT
Porto's Vintage Tram
Dating back to 1895, the tram is a charming heritage transit system featuring beautifully preserved 19th century carriages. Climb aboard and take your seat among the brass handles and dial controls and appointments such as mahogany or teak wood paneling.
The Ribeira Quarter
With roots going back to the Roman era, Porto's Ribeira Quarter really grew in status during the the 14th and 15th centuries. An acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's noted for narrow, winding cobblestone streets and structures spanning from Roman times through the Middle Ages to the modern era. A guided walking tour will take you past well-preserved landmarks and colorful 18th century houses. Enjoy some free time.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
As you stroll the Ribeira Quarter, be sure to focus your lens on the 19th century iron bridges, traditional Rabelo boats docked at the old pier of the Gaia area, home of the famous port wine cellars.
SNACKS
As the tram travels along the Douro River, you'll be treated to a sampling of Portuguese specialties including codfish pastry, custard cream pastry and two additional small but nourishing bites accompanied by a glass of wine or port, orange juice or mineral water.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
The Ribeira Quarter boasts a treasure trove of medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical architecture.

Special Notes
This tour involves around 1 hour of walking over some cobbled and uneven ground, including steps. It is important to note that the trams have their original engine, which adds to the charm, and they will generate some noise. Be advised there are some fairly high steps to be negotiated when boarding the tram. The street leading to and from the Ribeira Quarter is on an incline and cobbled. Flat, comfortable shoes are recommended. Tour operates in all weather conditions. The itinerary may operate in reverse order. Guests under 18 years of age are not allowed to drink alcohol.
The tram may be subject to some delays due to local traffic or obstruction.
Marathons and other events may take place on Sundays, and as a result, traffic in Porto may be blocked along the Marginal up to Castelo do Queijo, in the Ribeira area, and may also affect traffic on the bridges.
Street works, and road closures or traffic changes may occur without prior notice. This tour is not suitable for guests using mobility devices and walking difficulties.
