About

Four walkers who turned a habit into a job.

Passo started in Porto in 2014 with one route, one minibus and a lot of blisters.

Why we started

Tomás and Inês spent their weekends walking the Douro and kept being asked by friends to take them along. In 2014 they made it a job.

We still walk every route ourselves before each season, and we still keep the groups small enough to fit around one dinner table.
