Porto + the Good Detours – Full Package + Concierge
The complete guide and map, plus a one-hour planning call with RuaMar to turn it into your trip — sequencing, reservations and WhatsApp support. €149.
Sometimes you don't just want the plan — you want your plan. This is where we sit down together and help you tailor it.
The Field Package gives you everything in the Guide, Map + App — the full 94-pin map, the 33-page field guide, the app, all of it — and then adds the part that no PDF can: an hour of RuaMar's time, one-to-one, turning the guide into a moments shaped around you. We've spent three years doing this for couples, families, small groups, the occasional wedding party and corporate events in the north of Portugal, and we know which doors open with a phone call.
On your one-hour concierge planning call we work through the things that actually make a trip: how to sequence your days so you're never doubling back, when to slot the Douro Valley so it isn't rushed, which restaurants are worth a reservation and which are worth walking into, how to handle a group with different appetites and energy levels. You leave the call with a personalised northern Portugal itinerary and a direct line to us once you're on the ground.
This is the closest thing to having a friend in Porto who happens to plan trips for a living. It's for the traveler who wants the curation and the conversation — who'd rather spend their planning hours anticipating the trip than researching it.
And if you fall for the north and want us to handle the whole thing — hotels matched to you, private cellar tastings before the doors open, a Douro vineyard table in Pinhão, Livraria Lello before the queue — your €149 is credited toward a bespoke RuaMar getaway.
