We arrived by taxi from the airport, which was an easy and quick journey taking approx. 25 mins. Joao was already at the apartment to meet us and even though we don't speak Portuguese and Joao doesn't speak English, we got by and Joao left us with information on trips, restaurants and directions to the nearest supermarkets.
Porto is a beautiful medieval city. Some areas were a little run down but this just added to it's character. We booked a Tuk Tour for our first day which was perfect. Isabella was our guide who was very informative, interesting and spoke excellent English. We would thoroughly recommend this trip. Other things we would recommend visiting was the Cathedral, Majestic Café, Lello & Irmão Bookstore, Calem Port Cellar tour, a meal along the river at Cais de Ribeira and dinner in Cantina 32 in Rua das Flores.
We managed to fit a lot into our short trip to Porto and enjoyed it very much. One tip would be to wear comfortable shoes as it is small enough city to see most sights on foot but be prepared for the hilly streets. Thank you to the Feeling Oporto Team, your apartment was ideal.
