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, much more than practicing the conventional models of tourism and entertainment - 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. SMT5 - Sto Ildefonso - Into the Heart of Porto Although, in the historical point of view, Sto Ildefonso is not situated in the so called Historical Centre, it´s actually in a way the “heart” of the commercial and social centre of Porto, with some of the most significant buildings and trade streets situated in its area. SMT Douro River The Douro River can be, in many aspects, considered like the “blood” running in the veins of Porto. Along history it has always been a very essential element and presence in Porto culture, economy, ecology and sociology. This tour is an opportunity to go trough Douro right bank, Porto, from Ribeira until around Foz with a different and deeper perspective. Going trough different aspects like history, ecology, etc. Contacts and Informations: Slow Motion Tours Tel.
