Manuel was an amazing tour guide! We absolutely loved our time learning about Portugal from him. He did an excellent job explaining Portugal’s history and answering our questions. His knowledge was incredible - the information about the tiles in the train station to the country’s history to the style of the churches. We saw several parts of the city, and he also took us to the fortification at the mouth of the river/Atlantic ocean and to a port wine tasting. At our request, he recommended a restaurant for lunch, and it was the best meal we had in the area. He was kind, helpful, and informative. A GREAT day!

Our guide, Jose, walked with us through areas that are best seen on foot in the winding, narrow, and crowded streets of central Porto and also drove us to the outlying areas along the river and ocean. It was a wonderful balance that gave us a quick overview of the highlights of this beautiful city. We appreciated the individualized attention and willingness to customize this excursion to best fit our interests. We felt the tour was an exceptional value.
