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!!

Great tour! His knowledge of the city and tile history was impressive and his appreciation of art was evident. It was so fun to tour with someone who is an artist himself and is a Porto native. I would definitely do this tour again.
