Overview

Alohomora! Open the doors of this magical experience for the whole family. Explore the city of Porto through its charming spots that helped inspire the creation of the magical world of Harry Potter. Discover the story behind J.K Rowling and her time at Port and reveal secret stories with the help of a friendly local. Remember, you have to say: “I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good” for the secrets to be revealed!
Time for your Hogwarts adventure! Visit the Sao Bento station, admire its beautiful tiles and find the magical platform 9¾, don’t be late or the wall will bounce you back to the muggle’s world! Go straight to the source of inspiration, the place where J.K Rowling wrote down on a napkin the beginning of the famous sorcerer's boy, a café on an incredible Art Deco building.
A true wizard should dress like one! Visit a shop that sells the university uniforms that inspired the student uniform at Hogwarts and you’ll immediately see the resemblance.

Carlos was amazing! He showed us all the beautiful sites for the Harry Potter inspirations. He also showed us all the the amazing prison, beautiful churches, the oldest bakery and treated us to delicious pastries. His knowledge of Porto is extensive and he went beyond! He gave us recommendations of restaurants and even called the restaurant to make dinner reservations for us! The restaurant Sancho Panza was in Gaia with a picturesque view of Porto. Thank you Carlos for a memorable tour of a beautiful city!

The tour guide was wonderful- an architect who really knew her stuff. BUT, the tour was booked expressly because of it's inclusion of visiting Levraria Lello (the gothic bookshop) and WE DIDN'T GO THERE!
