Live the Essence of Porto Outside

At Porto Outside, we want you to experience life in our territory in a genuine way. From walking among our people to tasting the most authentic delights of our cuisine, we guarantee that every moment will be unforgettable.

About us

Porto Outside was born in 2015, the result of José Maia and Cátia Gonçalves' passion for their territory and everything that makes the north of Portugal so special. More than a tour and tourist experience company, we are living storytellers, guardians of unforgettable moments.

Each program is a celebration of authenticity: of the landscapes that embrace us, the genuine smiles of our people, the unique flavors of our cuisine and our wines that carry the soul of our land. With us, each adventure is guided by friendship and complicity, because we believe that the best journey is one that is taken with an open heart.

Committed to the future, we are proud to be a company certified by Biosphere Portugal, promoting sustainable practices that respect the environment and local communities. We want to share the best of our territory, protecting it so that future generations can experience the same magic.

At Porto Outside, we don’t just welcome customers. We build friendships. Each face that accompanies us becomes part of our history and the memories we are proud to share. Because the true essence of traveling is feeling at home, even though you are far away.

An INCREDIBLE day organise by José! We were a group of 20 celebrating my dad’s 60th! We were picked up from our villa and taken rafting in the morning and then spent the afternoon at the gorgeous vineyard called quintas rarza where Jose organised for us to have a delicious wine pairing lunch! They even went the extra mile to bake a birthday cake! An unbelievable memorable day, I couldn’t recommend Porto outside enough!! If you’re considering booking, don’t think, just do!!!!

"If you do one tour in Porto, please, please do this one! You will be so happy you did! We spent the day with Jose, a special person who makes you feel at home in Portugal. He is kind, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of his beloved country. This is more than just a wine tour. Jose and his wife Catia ( who made the most amazing lunch for us) gave us a taste of the real Portugal, beyond the tourist sites. Great wine, great food and great company. Thank you so much, Jose and Catia for an experience of a lifetime!"

"We (party of four) took the Douro Valley tour with Porto Outside in September and loved it! Our guide, Jose, was fabulous! From the stunning landscape in the valley to the wine tasting, lunch and the river cruise, we enjoyed every minute of it. This tour is well worth the price of admission!"
