Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Porto
Is there a self-guided audio tour of Porto?
Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Porto on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from Dom Luís I Bridge, Livraria Lello, Ribeira to a quiet corner of Ribeira. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.
What's the best free audio tour app for Porto?
Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Porto: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.
Can I use it offline while walking around Porto?
Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Porto, even in airplane mode or with no signal.
Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Porto?
No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Porto and press play. Wander Ribeira, double back, or stand in front of the Dom Luís I Bridge and it adapts to you in real time.
How much does an audio tour of Porto cost?
It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Porto walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
