Overview:

Once Upon a Time… the Douro River was more than just water carving its way to the Atlantic—it was a witness to centuries of secrets, a force of nature that shaped lives, united cities, and left behind stories whispered by its waves.

Discover the forgotten origins of the Douro’s name, relive the devastating floods that swallowed entire neighborhoods, and uncover the tragic tale of the Ponte das Barcas disaster. You’ll learn how the river bound Porto and Gaia together, while the iconic Barcos Rabelos sailed its currents, carrying more than just barrels of Port Wine—they carried the spirit of a region.

But this isn’t just any tour. You’ll be led by two archaeologists, Fábio Soares and Catarina Romani, from Once Upon a Time in Porto, whose deep knowledge of Gaia’s riverside will transform the landscape into a living, breathing storybook. Prepare for an interactive experience where you become part of the discovery, peeling back the layers of time to reveal the Douro’s best-kept secrets.

This exclusive Pop-up Guided Group Tour is designed for curious expats and Porto locals looking to connect with the city’s rich history. See Porto’s heart through the river’s eyes—will you answer Douro's call?
