    Nuno was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave such a fun and engaging tour! He not only taught us about the tiles and their history, but also incorporated other knowledge during the tour, such as the vibrant street art and general Porto culture. He went out of his way to give recommendations for our personal Porto explorations. Highly recommend this fun and interesting tour!!

    Nuno was an excellent guide through Porto as we navigated tile samples and history. He’s knowledgeable and expressive. We even saw some street art for which he was also able to provide context.
