We had a tour today with Ana and it was lovely! We had a great afternoon and got to know funny details about the historical city. Definitely a recommendation!

Salvatore_P

I booked the tour, nobody shower up and I didn’t even get the refund. It was terribile. They wanted to give me a fake guide because the agency guide couldn’t come!

Joanne M

Our walking tour of Porto with Ana was very interesting & enjoyable. We covered a lot of areas but at an easy pace, we learnt much about the history of Porto & passed many churches, monuments, a food market, various shops & neighbourhoods. We were fortunate to be the only ones on the tour & Ana was able to answer all of our questions & show us some affordable local eating options. If you get the chance, go on this walking tour with Ana!

Sam T

It was a great Tour. The weather was bad, so the Tour was only for me😊😊 Thank you Ana for the wonderful tour

Sarah M

Ana was incredible! Very warm, knowledgable, and her tour of Porto was peppered with many personal anecdotes, memories and stories that only someone with such a rich life and personal connection can provide. We loved every moment.

The tour was very informative and covered many of the interesting sites of Porto. Spent more time in a car than anticipated and I think three hours was a bit too short. I think 4-hours would have been better with more walking.

Thomas S

Would recommend this tour to get yourself orientated. Ana the local guide did a great job at showing us around and explaining Porto’s history.

Our tour guide Ana was passionate and knowledgeable about Porto. The tour was well structured to make sure we saw all the main sights, with good advice about what to follow up on. The tour finished at the market, which meant we were able to buy ourselves a fabulous lunch. Ana also suggested that we catch the No. 1 tram along the Duoro River, which we did in the afternoon. This was a great suggestion as it meant we got to see another part of Porto, and it was an easy Uber drive back to our accommodation. Well worth doing this tour.
