Joao was brilliant and could not have been more helpful. We learnt so much that we could not possibly have found in any guide book. He knew Porto like the back of his hand and his enthusiasm for sharing his huge knowledge and experience was apparent throughout. Please pass on our thanks.

Martina_D

A great way to help orientate yourself, as there is so much to see, while learning a little about the rich history and culture of Porto .

Ellen_L

Excellent guide, who not only explained the history and architecture a Porto, but took us inside the cathedral, and another church as well.

SheldonKGoodman

I absolutely cannot recommend Joao more highly. An absolute delight from start to finish. Joao is my kind of guide: through his able guidance the history of Porto was made engaging, fresh and accessible. This is a city he knows and his passion for his home town is infectious and well presented. Both myself and my partner loved his approach to the things that Porto has to offer - not necessarily the stuff on the main tourist trail, but lots of street art, graffiti and churches. Book a tour with him, seriously.

We only had one whole day in Porto before a flight so decided to do this quick tour and it was perfect. The guide, Jorge, was very knowledgeable and went over all the important notes of the city, showed us some amazing sights and gave great recommendations for the rest of our time. I highly recommend this tour and guide, you’ll have a great time!

Sara_U

We booked this tour on our first day in Portugal and highly recommend it. Our guide was thorough and excited to share his knowledge of history. We were able to see some of the more famous areas of Porto, but we also saw areas that were not in the guidebook. Our guide made recommendations throughout the tour and was patient as we took notes and photos. The presentation was both engaging and knowledgeable. If you are truly interested in learning more about Porto, book this tour! It goes beyond the surface and really gives you a feel for the city! Excited to further explore the city armed with new recommendations beyond the guidebook!

We only had one day to spend in Porto. This tour was the perfect way to get the day started. Maria was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. She really put a personal touch to the tour by showing us the house her grandparents were born in!
