Uncover the stories of Porto, one landmark at a time.
▶ Listen to a tourLooking at “Historical Centre” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.
Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.
Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.
Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.
Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.
Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.
Porto, Portugal's second largest city, is a vibrant hub of culture and history, beautifully nestled along the Douro River. With its UNESCO World Heritage Site historical center and rich architectural diversity, this city has been continuously inhabited since at least the 4th century BC. Whether you're drawn by its famous port wine or stunning vistas, Porto promises an unforgettable experience.
The guide talks about Porto in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.
If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
Instructions, three tour demos and a bedtime tale in English. Choose a recording and voice.
