Porto 1/2 Day Walking Photo Tour & Portraits

1.Porto 1/2 Day Walking Photo Tour & Portraits

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Spend about three hours walking Porto with photographer and local guide José Santos. Visit São Bento Station, the Dom Luís I Bridge, Ribeira, Miradouro da Vitória, and Largo da Pena Ventosa while posing for at least 25 edited photos. This private English-language tour suits couples, solo visitors, and special occasions.

“José is the best! I had so much fun during our morning together - it was truly one of my favorite parts of my trip. In addition to having some lovely photos to remember my trip - hard to come by when traveling solo! - I learned a lot about the city and country and their histories and current day from José (who answered any and all questions I had...even things seemingly random). José was really great about communicating in advance of my tour, came up with a creative solution when the weather did not want to cooperate, and was a pleasure to spend the morning with. Highly recommend if…”

“My wife and I booked a guided photo trip trip with Azores Expedition. I had read many great reviews about the guide, Juca. The trip was great from beginning to end and was well beyond our expectations. I cannot speak highly enough about the thoroughness and professionalism we encountered with Juca and his wife Marisa. Do not hesitate to sign on with Azores Expedition. It will be the high point of your travel life.!”

Lisbon: 2-Hour Street Art Photo Tour

3.2-Hour Street Art Photo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 43 reviews · from $60Best value

Walk Lisbon’s old neighborhoods with guides such as Pedro or Vasco, photographing murals from downtown to the castle hill. Hear how street art developed in Portugal, find pieces beyond the usual sightseeing route, and enjoy Tagus views. Expect hills, comfortable shoes, and a small group tailored to the art you want to see.

“Pedro was a great guide who clearly has a passion for street art. We were taken to parts of Lisbon that we never would have gotten to see outside of the tour, and saw so much fantastic street art. Also, we were picked up straight from our Air b&b which was super helpful, and asked where we would like to be dropped off so we got a lift to the next sight we planned on visiting :) THANK YOU!”
