On arrival
Next to the Monument to Garrett, right in front of Porto’s City Hall. Look for the dark blue umbrellas. This beautiful sculpture is really close to City Hall at the top of Aliados. If you see a statue of a king mounting a horse and lots of other umbrellas, you are in the wrong place.
To help you, we remind you that our meeting point is in front of the City Hall, next to the Almeida Garrett' statue.
Groups of 7 or more are always welcome. In this case, we require a deposit of €10 per adult (12 years old or more). This principle results from the need to protect and value the level of quality and dedication that we demand from our local Take Porto guides.
