Having a local guide as... - Having a local guide as your tour guide you will see more of the places that you don’t usually see in a regular tour. We were lucky to have Bruno as our guide who gave lots of information of the beautiful places that we visited. We enjoyed our tour with him. I recommend this tour if you want to immerse yourself in the city.

Clear and educational, and good humour - Orlando took us on an exceptional tour through the many centuries of history, and he laid out the various periods of the story clearly as he showed us urban spaces and monuments and addressed our many questions with good examples and ideas that encouraged critical thinking!

Great Introduction to Porto - Andre was an excellent guide, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into Porto's rich history. He was knowledgeable, patient, and answered all of our questions with a good sense of humor. It was clear he genuinely enjoys his profession. Andre also recommended some interesting sights to explore on our own, and we were particularly impressed with the restaurant he suggested that we tried – it was truly outstanding. Porto is a captivating city, and we absolutely plan to return with the rest of our family!

Bike to meet locals! - There is just no other way to experience so much of Porto, Gaia, and the fishing villages around than on bike. Anselmo was amazing in navigating the terrain (you cannot completely avoid the hills) and getting us to beautiful views. His love of biking, his town and the people come shining through. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can handle a bike well!

Wonderful tour! - Our tour with Rui was everything we hoped it to be. We appreciated how personable and knowledgeable he is about the city. We took this tour during the last couple days of our stop in Porto, and we learned even more about the city than we could find on our own. He was also very flexible given the sites we had already seen. Rui felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend giving us a tour of the city he so obviously loves!

UNMISSABLE - Beautiful place to visit as a family, located near the Clerics Tower. The mix of modernist and neo-Gothic architecture make the interior environment extremely particular. Leading entities and influential people consider her the most beautiful in the world.

Do NOT BOOK! The guide Victor was a NO SHOW! - DO NOT BOOK! THE GUIDE NEVER SHOWED UP! To add insult, he didn’t pick up his contact phone number to say if he was coming or not. It was busy for over an hour. The tour operator did not answer the phone, as well. We wasted our day in Porto trying to reach them.
