What people are saying about Ribeira Square

We had an amazing tour with Fred. He was ready to answer all our questions, gave us amazing history and awesome help with our Porto scavenger hunt. We definitely recommend this tour and ask for Fred! We got to see all the sights and were protected from the rain in the covered TukTuk. After we went right down and took the river cruise. It was a great day. We even took Fred’s advice of walking across the river on the lower level. Then on the way back we took the cable car up to the monastery and walked the higher level back.

Too bad it was the period of strikes because we did not have access to a wing of the castle ..... Remember to visit the stables of the castle which are outside near the entrance! And what's more it's free !!

Recommended to arrive early, we tried

Arrived a little later than expected - just 30min meant that we had a bit of a wait in the queue to enter (about 45min). After than no problems whatsoever.

Interesting and really nice to look at. The gardens with the fountains were really great and the water features were just beautiful

Very nice tuk tuk guide speaking perfect French. Very pleasant cruise.
