Nasoni, the Clérigos Tower, more than 75 meters long, was completed in 1763. Initially its function was to be a bell tower, but over the years it also ended up being used as a landmark for vessels, as well as a strategic point for military combat.

This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles.
Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks

Perfect way to experience Porto from the Douro river - When we decided to book a Douro River Cruise, we were looking for a quiet, romantic boat ride down the Douro river to experience Porto in a different light. We got more than what we were expecting when we booked with Paulo and Nadia. What a wonderful experience we had! We felt as if we were with good friends on the tour. We had a beautiful spot at the front of the boat on two big comfy pillows, got served Sangria (delicious), a lovely charcuterie board full of cheese, meats, jam and bread and at the end enjoy a little bit of port wine. Along the way, Paulo provided tidbits of Porto’s history and we had great conversations along the way. As we did the evening sunset tour, they graciously provided blankets to keep us warm when it got chilly. I can’t recommend this tour enough as the hospitality was amazing and so was the company!

A Great River Cruise with a wonderful wife and husband! - This shared boat trip was awesome! Nadia and Paulo are great! They welcomed myself, my wife, and my son on their boat like we were part of their family. This was a very enjoyable river cruise and Nadia and Paulo provided allot of great information about the sights along the tour since they born, raised, and live in the area
They also recommend an awesome local restaurant that we enjoyed.
Nadia also makes awesome red sangria that I enjoyed on the tour
I very highly recommend them and their river tour! You will not be disappointed
