We really enjoyed our tour with Orlando! He is a wealth of information, and we learned so much about both historical and current day Porto. There were five of us, including my 80 year old mother, and Orlando accommodated the tour to our pace, and to the weather (it was pouring rain that day!) Would highly recommend a tour with Orlando!

Orlando was an excellent guide. He is so passionate about his city - Porto - and made us fall in love with it. He is a history buff so he shared the history of Porto and we explored little alley ways and many free museums and churches which you won't find in guidebooks but which were truly trip highlights. Thank you for an amazing 3 hours Orlando!

Our tour with Mayumi was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and a really engaging, personable tour guide. Her love of the city was infectious, and we felt so lucky to have spent the time walking Porto with her. She event tailored some of the spots we visited to our interests. We highly recommend this tour with Mayumi!

Katarina was very knowledgable and was able to gear the tour to our family which included someone with a cane. It allowed us to enjoy the experience and learn about the city. Fun and informative!

My husband and I had a private tour with Victor and it was the highlight of our trip. He was extremely knowledgeable of the city’s history and made sure to point out all the important places to see during our visit. He followed up with a big list of restaurant/drink/coffee recommendations too. Highly recommend doing this tour while you’re in Porto!!

We enjoyed our Porto tour with Carlos. He showed us the various areas of the city that had street art, areas we likely would not have found on our own. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the different artists and provided good historical context during the tour. He also showed us great viewpoints of the city along with a tour of the old prison which now houses exhibitions. He was friendly and personable and answered any questions we had. We highly recommend Carlos so book him now!

We enjoyed our morning in Porto with Andre. We covered a lot of the city and enjoyed learning about the history and culture. It was great to walk through side streets and see views that we would have otherwise missed.
