We had such a great day with Jesper. Learned so much about the history of Porto as we walked through the city. We had a fabulous seafood lunch. We opted for a boat ride on the Douro instead of the winery and it certainly did not disappoint. Great scenery and a relaxing end to the day. I highly recommend this tour.

We had an awesome tour of Porto due to our guide, Hugo, he was professional ,knowledgeable, informative,and personable. He was able to maneuver the narrow streets of Porto like a Pro. The wine tasting was very interesting and we went away knowing a lot more about Port. If you decide to take this tour and can request a tour guide ask for Hugo.

History, churches, and port wine. A great day! Diogo’s knowledge of the city was amazing. A trip to the ocean was a great end to the day.

Our host George picked us up and immediately made us feel right at home as he took us to many interesting destinations throughout the city of Porto. George knows the city and it's history very well. A very good excursion.

Our guide Diogo was super sweet and helpful. I love meeting locals and hearing their stories and hearing from them first hand about a city they love. I would highly recommend this as an initial introduction to Porto then if you want to spend more time going to the various sites you can do that on your own. We did miss out on going to the library and I actually wanted to buy some Portuguese children books. They need a better system so those of us that actually want to buy something could. The tour was a bargain and Diogo was a nice introduction to the wonderful Portuguese locals
