Our guided tour with Lenore was excellent! She met us at our Airbnb and spent the entire day with us! She took us in places only the locals know, a restaurant that was truly a locals only spot and food was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about Porto history and we even had a private tour of the Palace da Bolsa! We ended the day with a sunset cruise which Lenore help to arrange. The whole experience was truly a day to remember!

Great walk tour in Porto with a very good Italian 🇮🇹 speaking guide. Leonor brought us through the city telling us about events of the past, general information about Portugal 🇵🇹 history from Old Romans age until today. Walking tour started at Metro Station Trindad and went on Carlo Alberto Square trough the streets with houses with external walls decorated tipical tiles. We got information about some curches⛪ including the Cathedral on top hill of the city, the very nice inside railway station also with tiles decorations, the university, and a very particular library "Livraria Lello" 📚which most likely inspired JK Rowling's novels "Harry Potter". Visit ended at Palacio da Bolsa. We could visit inside with a very nice stairs, hall and rooms. The dance hall itself with arabic decoration is worth a visit.🏛️ During stops along the tour we got also information about traditions, habits, other places to visit beyond the guided tour, which bus lines to use, tipical food, and hints where to eat. All suggestions hit on target 🎯 Porto itself deserves more time so we keep in mind for a next time. Thanks Leonor for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Sem dúvida que a minha intenção era que este dia fosse incrível e ficasse para sempre marcado no nosso coração e sem dúvida que com esta visita, juntamente com a Leonor Tito, pôde concretizar o desejado e ficar com as memórias mais incríveis de uma das cidades mais bonitas de Portugal.

Fazer um tour pelo Porto com a Sylvie foi fantástico. Foi possível aprender dados históricos, ver locais emblemáticos e partilhar pequenas lendas e tradições, sempre com a simpatia e disponibilidade total da Guia Intérprete. Foi uma experiência inesquecível... Recomendo vivamente!
