    My friend and I had a 1.5hr walking tour in the city centre with João, and it was absolutely fantastic. We have so much more of an appreciation for the beautiful town of Amarante thanks to João's expertise and pure interest in the history of his city. We learned a lot and had a great time. Looking forward to returning for the Jeep tour or a hike soon. Thank you João for your great tour and for your genuine willingness to ensure we had a great time in Amarante!

    We just returned from a tour with owner/guide Joao - excellent experience. We were able to arrange a pick up in Gaia and right from the beginning Joao was professional, engaging and full of information. His enthusiasm for history and Amarante made this one of the best guided tours we have experienced. Amarante is definitely a “hidden” gem of Portugal. Beautiful, relaxing yet full of history. No doubt Inside Experiences would dedicate the same level of service and professionalism to their other tours. Would book with them again in a minute if we had more time. Thank you very much!

    We met João through our AirBnb Host after we mentioned we might like to do a local vineyard. We ended up with so much more than what we asked for. João knocked on our villa door, we asked him in and he professionally explained his services. We began with a one hour tour of Amarante which turned into a two hour tour as we easily became friends. Later we booked him for a boat ride, lunch and wine tasting in Pinhão. Joãn arrived right on time and took care of everything.. from gorgeous views to our lunch at a local cafe where tourists are absent from view. And the food was fabulous. After a full day of the boat ride, lunch and Sandeman Winery tour and tasting, we ended the day at a family run vineyard in Amarante to stomp the grapes. And yes, we did. Each adventure was better the the last. Could it be more fun? With two good days under our belts, we opted for a third with João taking us to Porto for the day. And we were again not disappointed. He showed us all the highlights of the city, had drinks on . the 14th floor of Lift and could not have been more delighted.

    Top guided experience I Spent three intense very well planned days with Inside Experience founders and guides Joāo and Liliana. We were so well taken care of and the schedule planned allowed us to se and experience a lot of this beautiful region. Their love to their own home region shined through, culture, history, gastronomy and wine/ Porto tasting combined made this trip exceptional. I strongly recommend Inside Experiences as a private tailored experience for your needs.
