    I had a wonderful experience with Andre and I really recommend him as a tour. I wasn’t able to attend at the time I have booked the tour, and he graciously offered me to join a tour at a different time. He has a lot of knowledge and is happy to answer all of your questions. Thank you André!

    Adorei o tour, nunca tinha surgido oportunidade de fazer um tour pela cidade do Porto, e foi sem dúvida uma tarde muito bem passada. O tour foi feito com o André, e ele está muito bem informado sobre toda a história dos locais visitados. Recomendo vivamente a todos os que adoram a Arte Moderna no Porto, a escolher a Sunday para um tour descontraído, e animado.
