      The Porto Cathedral, located in the heart of the historic center of the city of Porto, is one of the main and oldest monuments in Portugal. Its construction began in the first half of the 12th century, and continued until the beginning of the 13th century. This first building, in Romanesque style, underwent many changes over the centuries. The general character of the facade with the towers and the beautiful rose window dates back to the Romanesque period, in addition to the body of the church with three naves covered by a barrel vault.

      The Igreja do Carmo, in the Baroque/Rococo style, was built in the second half of the 18th century, between 1756 and 1768, by the Third Order of Carmo, designed by architect José Figueiredo Seixas. This church was built on land adjacent to the Church of the Carmelites, on the west side, ceded to the Order in 1752. As the construction of two churches together was not permitted at the time, the so-called Casa Escondida do Porto was built between them, which separates the two churches and it is just over 1 and a half meters wide. It was classified as a National Monument on May 3, 2013, together with the adjacent Carmelite Church.

    what an amazing experience! Migael is the best guide ever

    open air jeep not very comfortable but the guide makes up for the lack of comfort! We went places you normally would not be able to go to. Customized tour to what you wanted to see and experience. The best day we had in Portugal

    Great personal tour of Porto with Miguel

    Even on a rainy day, we had a great tour of Porto. Miguel is awesome and very knowledgeable about Porto. He customized the tour to things we were interested in seeing in addition to showing us areas we didn't even know about. There are other tour options but we feel we saw more on this personal tour and he picked us up and returned us to our rental apartment. Highly recommended! Thanks

    Porto jeep tour - Brilliant

    Miguel was amazing! Very personable and willing to take you anywhere in the city/area. The jeep had an open side canopy and top. Our 7 year old loved it and Miguel was very patient with him and catered a lot to him as well. Miguel showed us the famous sights and places and also asked if we wanted to go anywhere we knew of. He booked a table for us for lunch and dropped us to the restaurant and waited until we were seated before leaving us. He gave us many recommendations for food and things to do in Porto as well. I would highly recommend the tour with Miguel! Obrigado Miguel

    Response from the operator: 😁 Thanks Luke!!! I only have seen this today 🤦‍♂️😂 thanks for the day! 🙂

    Miguel and his jeep tour

    We were on a cruise and we docked at Porto, Portugal and it was at the dock gates that we found Miguel with his jeep. We had to speak to him, he wasn’t pushing the jeep tour at all. We were a party of four and wanted to see Porto. Miguel didn’t disappoint he took us all over the different areas of Porto and stopped for many a photo shoot. He even took us to this coffee shop and bought us coffees and the most delicious pastel de natas. They were the best we’ve ever tasted, Miguel is very knowledgeable and has a passion for his country and Porto. We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour and so pleased that we went and talked to him. It was the best outing of the cruise. If you want an enjoyable tour when you visit Porto we would highly recommend Miguel and his jeep.

    Response from the operator: 😁 Thank youuuu! Sorry all this time for the answer, but me and internet... If you want more "natas"... 😂

    Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.

    How much does Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower cost?

    +

    Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.

    Is Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Porto?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Douro Valley Small Group Tour: 2 Wineries, Lunch & River Cruise, Best of Porto Walking Tour Small Group Experience and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Porto?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Porto?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Pick-up and drop-off: we will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel (Greater Porto); Bottled water; and Guide. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 221 listed pickup locations in and around Porto. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower offered in?

    +

    Is Porto Private Tour Bolhão Market and Clérigos Tower wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
