A Journey Worth Taking: Your Private Lisbon to Porto Transfer
Stop 1: Coimbra – The Medieval Soul of Portugal
We begin by venturing north to Coimbra, Portugal’s medieval capital. As we explore the historic university grounds—among the oldest in the world—your guide will share fascinating stories about the city’s ancient traditions. If you wish to go inside any monument, that is possible – price not included.
Stop 2: Aveiro – The Venice of Portugal
Next, we head toward the Atlantic coast to visit Aveiro. Known for its picturesque canals and vibrant moliceiro boats, this city offers a stunning mix of Art Nouveau architecture and maritime heritage. And, of course, no visit is complete without a taste of the ovos moles—the traditional, melt-in-your-mouth local pastry made with egg yolks and sugar.
Arrival: Porto
After a day filled with culture, sightseeing, and local flavors, we will drive you directly to your hotel or apartment in Porto. You will arrive refreshed and ready to explore the stunning North, having bypassed the hassle of public transit entirely.

We love authentic flavors! Depending on the flow of the day and your personal preferences, our guides can offer some wonderful lunch recommendations – lunch is not included in the price -, away from the typical tourist traps.
Yes, completely. We pick you up directly from your hotel, apartment, or the airport in Lisbon and bring you right to the doorstep of your accommodation in Porto. You won’t have to worry about carrying heavy bags through train stations or navigating Porto’s steep hills on your own.
