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 instead of “exploting” them Slow Motion Tours is developed byTerramote351 Project, an independent cultural project based on the development of alternative tourism and eco-social education. SMT2 - A Porto older than the Sé of Porto (around the historical district of Sé and its sorroundings) Sé do Porto district can be, in several aspects, together with S.Nicolau, considered the place where Porto was actually born, and there we can find some of the oldest archeological findinds in concern to the city history. Therefore it´s just sort of possible to get to know about Porto identitity without “diving” in the many narrow streets and secrets from Sé do Porto. SMT Mts – Matosinhos – A Land of Fishermen and Sailors Matosinhos is a city since ever deeply connected to the sea. Known by its very authentic fishermen community, it´s a place with a lot to see and to get to know besides the coast and the beach it self. It´s still surprising how such an interesting place, so near from Porto, is still so much “out” of the touristic circuits. Contacts and Informations: Slow Motion Tours Tel.
