Queue after Queue
Long queues even after you enter, you have to keep moving forward, and when you have chosen a book to buy with your entry ticket I had to queue another 45 minutes at the till before you can exit. Staff were standing around doing nothing instead of opening another till to deal with the queues.

Greatly Disappointed with Viator
I booked and paid for my "tickets" a week in advance. What I got was a voucher. I was out of Internet availability when I got the email saying there were no spots available for my chosen time and to choose another time. We were traveling with a friend who purchased the ticket at the same time the day before. This is beyond ridiculous. Then to add to the insult, you still need to stand in a long line and wait. Upon getting to the front of the line I saw travelers go directly in with no waiting. I had asked them, and they had the same ticket, same time, same price. DO NOT BOOK with VIATOR!!!

Worth every penny
It’s always better to pre book the slot and visit the library because of huge crowds. It’s better to take the silver ticket without any time limit. Great arrangements by Viator making the experience seamless

Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide take?
+
Plan for about 0.7 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 Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 26 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 Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide?
+
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 Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide?
+
Around 9 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 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide 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 Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide?
+
Included: Exchangeble €15 ticket for a €15 book voucher; Entrance Ticket; and 1 Day Self-guided Book. Not included: Official guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lello Bookshop Entry Ticket + Porto Local Restaurants Guide?
