Jorge is a wonderful local guide. His tour took us to some great places in Porto. He is very knowledgeable and we had interesting conversations about Porto’s history, culture, politics and more. He was in tune with our pace, interests and energy. We ended our day at an excellent restaurant near the Douro River that Jorge had recommended. Thank you for a fabulous time, Jorge!

Rosa took my husband and I on a wonderful walking tour of Porto. Rosa was very friendly, knowledgeable and so accommodating! She shared information about the history of Porto and Portugal, as well as information about the various landmarks in the area. She took us through areas that were quieter, since we said we liked to be away from big crowds. Our tour was on April 25, the 50th Anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. Porto was very busy, but Rosa took us down beautiful back streets and stairs as we walked to the river. This tour was a perfect way to start our 4 days in Porto. Rosa was easy to talk to you and made us feel very comfortable. We would highly recommend Rosa as a local guide!

My wife and I did this tour our first day in Porto. The tour was great and our guide Katerina was very knowledgeable and fun to walk around the city with. Katerina also gave us great recommendations for our remaining days in Porto. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially as a way to get your bearings while also learning a good deal about the cities history.

Ruben has a wealth of information about the history of this beautiful city and a passion for sharing it. He wanted to make sure that he took us to the places we were most interested in seeing while giving us a glimpse of other areas we could explore on our own. He spent far more time with us than expected and sent us off with some restaurant recommendations and pdf of an overview of our tour. Highly recommend!

Victor was our guide and did an amazing job of showing us a good slice of Portugal and Porto culture. The focus was on the old town center which is what we were looking for. There is the new town section of Porto, so be advised. The history was fascinating and Victor displayed a wonderful command of many topics as we observed the sights of old town. We ended our tour with a stop for his number one place for Porto’s famous custard tarts. They were amazing!
