If you want to feel like an insider in Porto, go on a tour with Sara. As well as being a tour filled with historical and cultural insights, Sara is happy to share her favorite secret spots – historical, cultural, gastronomical. In advance, we asked Sara to take us on a tour of HER favorite neighborhoods, so we could get a sense of the ‘real’ Porto. She gave us a shortlist to choose from before we headed off, to be sure it was tailored to our interests, and it was! – including a fascinating secret garden, ruins in a Metro station, and the most delicious local lunch. Others are too secret and special to share online (!) not something you hear too often.
