overview

The COFFEE & NATA tour combines four of our favourite things: running, history, coffee and Portuguese custard tarts!

The running tour features two coffee stops (one for specialty coffee, the other's actually a coffee&nata stop!), some entertaining stories about Portuguese entrepreneurs, all about the historic coffee shops of Porto and some talk about quirky marketing strategies for the sale of... coffee!

Golden opportunity to test - and quickly burn off - our beloved Custard tart & Coffee combination which you'll notice is nothing short of an energy bar - egg&milk protein, sugar and caffeine! 

FINISHES AT:

Manteigaria - Fábrica de Pasteis de Nata
​(1 coffee & nata p.person INCLUDED in price)

 During this PORT WINE running tour we delve into one of the most humiliating episodes of the city's History to learn how a Portuguese Prime minister saved the Port wine export business from sinking down, back in 1756.

The tavern keepers and coopers in Porto were the visible face of an uprise prompted by a recently created tax on wine that ultimately became the major source of funding for an urban development boost in Porto during the late 1700's! 
​

The city of Porto, like Vintage Port, is getting better and better with age and should be enjoyed on the most special occasion: your visit! Let's run and explore. Run now, wine at the end !

FINISHES AT:

We end this tour by toasting with a Port or a Port cocktail (or 1 alternative drink p.person - INCLUDED ) in a local wine bar, by the river! ​

The St. James church and the British Factory house of Porto are just a couple of the locations where an active British community  still gathers to socialize or discuss business. We will talk about how a few important historic characters shaped the city's architecture and helped in growing the present successful wine export activity .

In the BRITISH HERITAGE tour we will also run by other places where some English natives earned their special place in Porto's history throughout almost 600 years of the Anglo-Portuguese alliance.

FINISHES AT:

outside Palácio da Bolsa - Praça do Infante D.Henrique

overview

The pilgrimage to "Campus Stellae" in Galicia -or Compostela- is even older than the 12th century Cathedral of Porto. The city has always been a chosen place of passage - or even a starting point - for the ones enduring the long journey to Santiago (St. James) by foot or bicycle.

​ There is a pre-established marked route and many hidden elements scattered throughout the city that we'll explore and talk about
its symbolism during our WAY TO ST.JAMES running tour of Porto. 

FINISHES AT:

In front of SÉ (Porto's old Cathedral)

overview

For beer fans visiting Porto, the survival keyword is 'fino'- the regional designation for beer on tap. 

On our 
LOCAL BEER running tour we'll share a few other tips and explore the history of the genuinely Portuense Super Bock and also the recent rise of craft beer producers and bars.

Running downtown during the late morning or afternoon, we'll have to deal with traffic lights, the occasional flock of tourists and other urban challenges but will then reward ourselves with a pint or two.  

FINISHES AT:

It is reckless to drink beer and run, so we don’t do that. It’s only when we arrive at LETRARIA Beer Garden that we enjoy a cold one (or alternative drink - INCLUDED )

Price reduction for Residents (Porto's Metropolitan area) and Students
- see
booking and prices -
​

   This is the right option for a group of runners who live or have already spent a few days in town
- or even those who visit it regularly for work -
and now know the major touristic landmarks
. 


Also a golden opportunity for
active people with enquiring minds who'd like to
 
scratch below the surface of the city's culture and history
,
delving deeper into some aspects of urban development, overseas mercantile connections,
​all that lead to Porto's present charm and feel.
We pour a lot of effort and love into organizing and leading these tours, making sure you go home with much more than just the 'must-see' and 'must-visit' checked off list!

Join us on a relaxed guided running tour across the city as we explore some of its most interesting stories!
