This was a fantastic tour with a wonderful guide taking us thru the magical, winding, narrow side streets in Porto on both sides of the Douro while telling us all about the city. I loved our stop at Cafe El Rey, a neighborhood bar where our guide João’s grandfather used to visit. We discussed history, Porto, his family, and more over wonderful espresso, pastels de nata and glasses of Favalos while a little rain passed by. We explored Fisherman’s Village and visited several beautiful view points and ended the evening as the sunset, drinking sparkling wine at the Mosteiro Santo Agostinho da Serra do Pilar. It was our last night and this was the perfect way to spend it.
