Great day - A fantastic trip with a great guide. If you have a free day while in Santiago this is a must do trip so see a wee bit of Portugal while in Spain. Guide super friendly & helpful (First part of the tour in Porto we did join a large group doing an English language tour of the old city - this was in a larger group than the 6 who left Santiago, rest of day was with the small friendly group- this did not take away from the day though) Trip included tour of Old City of Porto, across the river to see Gaia & the views of Porto & wine tasting It is a long trip, approximately 13 hours but very worth it

Fun day - We really enjoyed our trip to Porto. The one downside was that we were sent with a city tour guide while our tour guide driving to Porto disappeared. This proved to be very frustrating after the city tour guide did NOT meet us at the end of the tour like he said. It took several phone calls to the office to find him. We spent about 45 mins standing in the hot sun just waiting for our guide. This severely limited our shopping time later in the day. Also, the Harry Potter library is overcrowded and absolutely nothing to enjoy.
