Thank youI don't know what is currently open but maybe Gronze.com can help. In Tui I heartily recommend Ideas Peregrinas I believe they are open.
There is a good bus service, Alsa, from Porto to Tui. You can get one from the city or from the airport. I got off at Valenca and walked across the bridge to Tui, following the yellow arrows. But I think some buses drop off in Tui. Rome2rio.com can give you details and a link to the Alsa website too.
Buen Camino
Thank you. I’m doing this in May. I hadn’t seen the bus from the airport so that’s very useful. Will check Alsa websiteI don't know what is currently open but maybe Gronze.com can help. In Tui I heartily recommend Ideas Peregrinas I believe they are open.

Autna is also another bus/coach company that operates a service from Porto airport to Vigo, stopping in Valenca. If you have an early morning flight, Autna's service departs at 11.30 from Porto Airport whereas Alsa departs around 13.15. I didn't find the Autna website very user friendly, so actually booked my coach ticket via the Trainline website (here in the UK).Thank you. I’m doing this in May.

Great advice. I am starting from Tiu, walking with my sister, from late April. The train from Porto to Tui sounds like a good idea.You can take the train from Porto Campanha station to Valença do Minho.
nice trip through the north of Portugal and end up in Valença. From there walk through the famous fortress and the more famous bridge between Portugal and Spain, built by the famous George Eiffel, builder of the Paris Eiffel tower.
a walk from about three quaters of an hour to Tui. Very nice.
and fully waymarked with the yellow caminho markers ( only about two hundred meters from the station to the fortress is not waymarked
to get to the station take the metro from the airport to Campanha station. About 20 minutes.CP - Comboios de Portugal
At CP - Comboios de Portugal, you can check train times and discounts and buy tickets online. Further details.www.cp.pt
the train journey is more intresting than the bus
Thanks. I had seen the 11.30 one and it looks a better for me. Trainline looks useful.Autna is also another bus/coach company that operates a service from Porto airport to Vigo, stopping in Valenca.

There is a bus at 11.30 that goes from Porto Airport to Vigo but stops at Valenca. The bus company is Autna.Hoping for other options... we arriving in Porto also and beginning our walk from Tui. We arrive on a Sunday at 9:30 in the morning, so we will probably clear customs and be out of there by 11am is my guess. The next bus isn't until 1:30.. we arrive at 3:30, but we've lost an hour because we are now in Sapin and it's really 4pm. I was thinking why not hire a taxi to take us at 11 am-- it's only an hour's drive and then we don't lose a whole afternoon and we can be exploring Valenca or Tui! Anyone have any ideas on transfer services or drivers they have used?? Thanks in advance!
The buscompany which services Porto to Santiago is ALSA bus.There is a bus at 11.30 that goes from Porto Airport to Vigo but stops at Valenca. The bus company is Autna.
Sorry I can’t help about other transfer devices. You could try haggle a fare with a taxi at the airport?
Sometimes I make things way more complicated for myself!! Thanks!!!I just checked my Uber app, and you take take an Uber from the airport for around €80
ALSA and AUTNA buses do not start until 1:30 on Sundays....Thanks!The buscompany which services Porto to Santiago is ALSA bus.

The train stops in Valença at the Portuguese side of the Minho riverGreat advice. I am starting from Tiu, walking with my sister, from late April. The train from Porto to Tui sounds like a good idea.
