Starting at the Jardim da Cordoaria, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off into Porto's granite heart. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Torre dos Clérigos points the way first — 75 metres of baroque bell tower, long the first thing sailors saw of home. Riddles count the steps so you don't have to. At São Bento station, twenty thousand azulejo tiles turn a train hall into a history book. Trivia picks out battles, coronations and everyday river life in blue and white. Then the Livraria Lello dazzles from its neo-Gothic facade — the crimson staircase inside inspired generations of writers and one very famous wizarding world. Around two hours of hills and marvels. Port wine across the river makes a fine trophy ceremony.
We loved the experience and the idea of a geocache. It made us really focus around each highlighted point of interest. During those challenges it would be helpful for more background about each geocache treasure hunt . Once we found or discovered thr feature of interest it kind of fell flat
We had the most fantastic time with Leo, our tour guide. We learnt all about the old city and visited some beautiful viewing spots up above Lisbon. We had the freedom to ask to stop where we liked along the way. It was a wonderful trip with a brilliant tour guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Thank you so much for making our day.
We had a great time! It’s a lovely, inexpensive way to discover the city a bit at your own pace and to interact a bit with the sights. We’ll definitely be doing this again in other cities!
Really enjoyed our first scavenger hunt. Took us a while to complete as we stopped off and had lunch and detoured around the area
Very difficult to use and there is no navigation embedded in the app so you are seeing pictures of buildings you don’t know and no way to navigate to an area without using another app. Waste of time. We ended up doing a tuk tuk tour instead which was much better.
Loved solving the puzzles and visiting all the monuments. A good way to see the city center and educate yourself.
The clues took us off the beaten path, and suddenly we’re discovering all these great places of Porto. My partner and I loved and recommended it 100%, it is a fun day out.
The experience was marvellous and the city is also amazing. I will suggest this visit all my friends.
Our group had an amazing time exploring the city using the app. We liked all the challenges and games, although walking through Porto was a bit of a hike going up and down the streets. Still very good experience.
Great way to get around Porto! My girlfriend and I loved it! Definitely a must when travelling to a new city for the first time.
I recently used this app to explore Porto and I have to say I was impressed! The app was easy to use, the directions were clear, and the sights were amazing. I loved how the app provided interesting historical facts about each location. Overall, it made my trip so much better! Highly recommend.
I and my companions always have a lot of fun ☀️🍀😁 We have already done very different trails with Explorial.
The individual trails are exciting and tricky, sometimes to solve the puzzles you need skill, creativity and patience 🍀
Una visita realmente divertida, especialmente cuando vas en familia, es una buena manera de conocer la ciudad al mismo tiempo que los niños se entretienen
Intéressant mais il manquait à mon goût des endroits importants de la ville. De plus je ne le referai pas forcément en groupe car nous sommes tous sur nos téléphones, pas beaucoup de partage
Was für eine grossartige Art, eine Stadt zu entdecken! Ich habe viel über Porto gelernt. Diese Stadt ist wirklich wunderschön und die App einfach zu bedienen. Wir hatten viel Spass.
Innovative, different and educational, this is how I describe the Explorial tour of the city of Porto. We learned about the main monuments of the city through an app as we answered and asked questions and solved challenges that gave us more knowledge about the city’s historical and cultural heritage. Complete the photo challenges was quite fun. We love the experience!
A segunda vez a jogar no Porto com esta aplicação MAGNÍFICA! Nada a apontar, uma aplicação super acessível no que diz respeito ao seu funcionamento.
Foi espetacular. Estava com os meus amigos e todos acharam o mesmo. Recomendo a Explorial porque vale a pena para conhecer a cidade e não ter pressa de passar pelos lugares.
Different, fun, enriching. Interesting dynamism for friends or family. Highly recommended for a differentiated walk
Last Sunday with friends differently. Knowing the history of the port's most important buildings in a fun way was the best! Super recommend and will always be part of future trips
Porto is undoubtedly one of the best cities I have visited in Europe. I loved the experience, and it was a lot of fun to discover some things through the app.
