🎨 8 special guests, 8 unique masterpieces! 🇵🇹✨

Myself and Porto by Ramon had the absolute pleasure of leading a wonderful group of 8 on our Tile Tour! We started with a light, easy 2-hour walk through Porto—taking in the sights and history at a relaxed pace—before heading in for the main event: painting their very own azulejos! 🖌️

A massive shoutout and huge thanks to the team at The Boiler Room - boiler__studio for accommodating our group and making the workshop such a fun, hands-on experience!

Look at this amazing collection of finished tiles—each one a personalized piece of Porto to take home! 💙

🎒 Scouting Porto, one step at a time! 🧭✨
There’s no better way to discover the magic of Porto than on foot—and no better crew to explore with than our scout troop Escoteiros de Boticas - agrupamento1148boticas!

Our walking tour took us right into the heart of the city, stopping at the breathtaking São Bento Train Station. Surrounded by over 20,000 classic blue-and-white azulejo tiles telling Portugal’s story, we couldn't resist pausing for a few photos before keeping the journey going.

Always prepared for the next trail ahead! 🥾🇵🇹

From Porto’s streets to your hands—ready to take home the same day! 🎨🏙️

Ever wonder about the stories hidden behind Porto's iconic tile facades? Our Tile Walking Tour & Workshop bridges the gap between seeing the city's history and making your own!

🚶‍♂️ The Inspiration: We start with an intimate walking tour exploring Porto’s historic neighborhoods, learning the secrets of our traditional architecture and tile patterns.

🖌️ The Creation: Next, we head inside the incredible creative space, The Boiler Studio. My husband, Ramon, and I guide you step-by-step through traditional painting techniques. You don't need any artistic experience—just a love for discovering new things!

✨ The "After" Materializes: In this workshop it's used a specialized process so you leave the experience with your custom, completed tile ready in hand. It's the ultimate authentic souvenir from your time with us! At while you wait, what better way to pass the time by drinking a cocktail or mocktail.

☀️ There is a specific moment in Porto when the afternoon sun hits the Douro, the granite glows gold, and the city completely slows down.

We don’t believe in rushing through landmarks or checking boxes. Porto is meant to be felt, tasted, and walked slowly. Whether you’re wandering the hidden side-streets with me, where I try to curate spaces for small groups who want to truly connect with our city's soul.

No crowds. No megaphones. Just the real Porto. 🍷✨
