Andre was prompt (actually, early!). In my 5 hour walking tour, he showed me all the architectural marvels throughout Porto, from medieval structures to modern ones. He is a wealth of historical knowledge, and could answer all of my questions. He showed me architectural oddities in town, such as the “hidden house”, nested between 2 enormous churches. He took me to an awesome bakery of pastry de nata (custard filled pastry), where we could watch the bakers create their nata masterpieces, and our treats were still hot out of the oven! He showed me the different decorative/protective tiles covering the buildings, and showed me how to determine the approximate age of the tiles. Our tour was entirely on foot, and Andre paid attention to whether I was comfortable or getting tired, or needing a break or hydration. He was acutely aware of my safety, especially when crossing the roads and in construction zones. He even made suggestions about activities I can do in Porto tomorrow. His English is excellent. Andre was an exceptional and ideal tour guide. I recommend him highly.

Many thanks to Andre for a fantastic and informative tour of Porto. We learned much of its history which was the reason we wanted to take the tour. He was friendly and we were able to move at our own pace to discover this beautiful city. Thanks again to Andre for his time and extensive knowledge.

Our 5-hour Porto city tour with Orlando was amazing! He has a wealth of knowledge of all aspects of Porto and used an iPad and maps to help us visualize the history. The pacing of the tour was perfect, and he even took the time at the end of the tour to drop us off at a great restaurant for lunch and also sent us some recommendations afterwards. I would highly recommend Orlando if you are looking for a Porto guide. It was a great day!

Andre was a great guide, very warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Porto and its history. We had a super meandering tour from the university to the riverfront, visiting a nice mixture of famous and local sites. Everything became much more meaningful through his explanations and his background knowledge. A great tour and great value for money. (0ur tour was actually in March 2019, but I reposted due to Covid restricting the 2020 and 2021 tours)

I took this tour in 2018, but I could not enter that date here. I love Withlocals; each time i have visited Portugal I hired a Withlocal guide for each city we visited so we could get to know how to get around and have a tour created just for us with no one else. We really enjoyed this "alternative" view of Porto. Carlos was very accomodating and changed the tour a bit to meet our needs. I was able to get a sense of the old traditional art contrasting with the street art being done by artists of a different kind. Recommend for something different.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with Andre. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Porto. He had interesting stories to tell as well. In addition to the typical highlights (churches, monasteries, the bridge, the beautifully tiled train station) - the highlight for us was going into the back streets where the locals live - where there are no cars - and steps that seem to go on forever... Then Hidden Porto. Highly recommend tour with Andre.

My 2 friends and I had a very informative 3 hours with Andre. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We covered many sights and KMs (miles) at a calm pace. We realy liked the secrets of Porto he shared with us and our tour around the very original tiny lanes of Porto.
