Day 7 - Porto
Arriving into Porto this morning, you have a choice of
excursions to explore this famous port city that marks the end
point of the Duoro River. Your first option is an insightful tour
of the city both by coach and on foot. The tour takes us along the
winding streets, cutting between the city's superb architecture,
historical townhouses, regal churches, and crossing the famous iron
bridge. We continue to the district of Foz at the mouth of the
Douro, where we see the impressive villas which dot the hills
here.
Your second option is to travel to the nearby city of Guimarães,
with its fantastically well-preserved medieval buildings, dating
back to the 10th century. We enjoy a tour through the colourful
streets and the lively squares before visiting the castle and its
gardens. In the afternoon you can relax on board before our
4-course farewell dinner.
