These tours are great to learn about the history of the city & get an idea of the important landmarks. Our walking tour lasted 3 hrs. Jamie our guide was knowledgeable & informative. My 8 year old was very patient throughout but these tours are not for kids. So if you have toddlers I would skip these long walking tours. Our group was about 25 people. Pace of walking is comfortable & I thinks it’s a great introduction to the city. The tour guide gave local restaurant recommendations & the tour ends with a group photograph & pay as you please for the tour.

Fabio was a great tour guide, his own family history made the history of Porto come alive. We got to see all the "must sees" from the outside and went in a few. Loved getting his suggestion guide at the end!

What a delight it was to have Lia as our walking guide. She spoke English very well and she was thorough with explaining all of the landmarks and stops along the way. It’s a lot of walking up and down hills, but Lia walked at a good pace. We even stopped at a shop for some tastings. Great tour and I would highly recommend it!
