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!

We throughly enjoyed our tour with Orlando; he is a wonderful human, very funny and intelligent. He has great knowledge of history, which we appreciated immensely. There wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to and he catered to our interests wonderfully. Highly recommend him as a guide.

We had a wonderful time eating and drinking our way through several stops in central Porto with Ana. She was so knowledgeable about not only Porto but also their food. She tailored our stops perfectly. Would definitely recommend this tour - especially with Ana.

We had a fabulous tour of Porto with Orlando! He is knowledgeable, friendly and knows the history of Porto like the back of his hand. We had an enjoyable 3 hour walking tour and learned SO MUCH about the city and its history dating back to the Celts! I highly recommend Orlando for any tours in Porto!
