Porto’s Military Jeep tours stand out as a refreshingly different way to explore this historic city. Riding in vintage UMM Portuguese military vehicles, small groups visit essential stops including the ornate Lello Bookstore and towering Clérigos Church.
The open-air experience allows unobstructed views of Porto’s architecture while local guides share both the celebrated and darker chapters of the city’s past, including the Salazar era.
