Excellent tour of Porto!
"We toured Porto with Orlando. He was awesome! He is an experienced and knowledgeable guide who educated us on the history of Porto and showed us the landmarks. He was honest about other areas we should tour. He answered all our questions. A 3 hour tour went by so quickly. Orlando made the tour fun!! Excellent guide!"

Lovely city tour with a friendly local.
"My tour with Joana was fantastic. She provided a personalized, local perspective that made me feel like a friend visiting the city rather than just a tourist. She took me to unique, off-the-beaten-path locations and shared insider tips you won't find on a standard tour. I highly recommend Joana if you want an authentic feel for the city."

Truly local experience!
"We had the opportunity to join Jorge for an insider's look at Porto's culinary scene. Jorge was very friendly and welcoming!! Within moments, we felt as though we were hanging with a friend and not a guide. His perspective as a Porto native of several generations, allowed us to appreciate the history of the city and neighborhoods. We appreciated that Jorge introduced us to places that are off the beaten path as well as many of the delicacies of the region. Jorge was hospitable and always checked to confirm we were interested in tasting the various food items. Obrigado Jorge! Neil and David "
