Creator's Key Takeaways

The scenery lovely. Our tour guide, Edward or Eduardo, was very, very knowledgeable from what we could hear.

The river boat cruise. Yeah. Which I don't have any pictures of because the windows were definitely rainy, but uh Jay did some good video of that out the window.

And it was so good cuz a lot of tour groups were coming in there. So, we know we found a good one.

And you have to try port in Porto cuz it's from the dural.

YouTube Video Description

We're docked in Leixões, Portugal and we're off to explore Porto with an independent tour called "Historic Porto Walk, Lello Bookshop, Scenic River Cruise, and Cable Car" from Shore Excursions Group! We'll get peeks at a beautiful bookstore called Livraria Lello, a surprisingly picturesque McDonald's restaurant, the historic Porto São Bento train station, and Sé do Porto cathedral before crossing the Ponte Luís I rail bridge to ride the Teleférico de Gaia cable car down to a Douro river cruise. After the tour, we're popping into Ramos Pinto Wine Cave for a port & chocolate tasting, then heading back to Volendam for dinner, trivia, a juggling showcase, and more madness!! :D Find Shore Excursions Group via our affiliate link here: https://www.parodeejay.com/seg 00:00 BOOM! 00:04 Morning Mode 01:16 Let's Head Ashore 02:28 Lello Bookshop 04:47 Strolling The Streets 07:16 Trains & Cathedrals 10:53 Gaia Cable Car 12:13 Douro River Cruise 13:47 Ramos Pinto Wine Cave 15:36 Ship & Photos 17:21 Fresh & Clean Mode 19:46 Dinner & Trivia 20:51 Juggling Showtime 23:06 The Evening Ends -Cruise Line: Holland America Line -Ship Name: MS Volendam -Cruise Dates: January 25, 2025 - June 7, 2025 -Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Round-Trip) -Itinerary: 133-Day Pole-To-Pole Cruise!!
