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. Slow Motion Tours SMT6 – Bonfim – Into the Oriental Porto Bonfim in some points of view is already a different Porto. Although historically it´s not a district so medieval like, for example, the so called historical centre but it´s still a disctrict where you can find the most authentic Porto. A district very connected for example with the Industrial Revolution in Porto and somehow still the most authentic city as well. Contacts and Informations: Slow Motion Tours Tel.
