Slow Motion Tours Slow Motion Tours developes alternative touristic tours and programms with the aim of providing a different way to get to know and get involved into the local realities. Our main focus is in allowing our participants to get to know the local reality in a deep and significant way instead of “entretaining” “passing by” tourists. So our tours are not conventional touristic tours. Actually, perhaps, we can´t even call it “touristic tours” but something more like a local experience. They´re focused on social, ecological and cultural aspects, in spite of the fact that history is always a very relevant element. Therefore we guide participants through the less well known side of Porto. Eco-Social Tourism by Slow Motion Tours Eco-Social Tourism is based in several essential aspects: - The focus is to educate, to experience, to make aware of the local realities, instead of entretaining. - We work mostly with smaller groups because for us it´s essential not to have a too big local impact and also to allow a better and deeper interaction between participants them selves and with the local reality - We work to benefit the local community Slow Motion Tours is developed byTerramote351 Project, an independent cultural project based on the development of alternative tourism and eco-social education. SMT3B - B of Vitória B Vitória is formed by what can be considered as a quite significant part of the city heart. In this area of Vitória you can find a very significant part of the city traditional trade and shops. Also some of the most known monuments but this side of Vitória is much behind that … SMT TT – Traditional Trade Porto is, since its very beginning, known as a city of trade and of traders. Its universe of traditional shops is very rich and unique, in spite of the fact that many of these unic places have been closing specially due to the city gentrification. This tour goes trought a relevant circuit where it´s possible to see some excellent examples of this traditional trade and Porto identity. Contacts and Informations: Slow Motion Tours Tel.
