Porto, a story to tell! - The tour was amazing! I (20) went with my sister (25) to the general tour and had the pleasure to have Jonathan as our guide. He presented himself as an actor, and with that he was able to create a great story through the whole experience. His enthusiasm and enchantment with Porto was transmitted in every story and fact he shared. We walked to many of the must visit spots, and some extra too! Would 100% percent recommend doing this tour, and looking for Jonathan.

Gran tour - Eric/Bear was in charge of taking my family and me on a Ribeira tour. A guide noted for his charisma and humor, who told us the history of the neighborhood getting a smile every opportunity he found. In addition, he filled us with recommendations to use our time and was very willing to answer questions, encouraging the participation of the group. Excellent work!

Good walking tour - This gave us a good history of the city of Porto. Natalia was very knowledgable and kept things intriguing. She did skip over mentioning some of the listed sights in the description, such as the Jewish Quarter.
