Maria was by far the best tour guide we had in Portugal, incredibly knowledgeable, with excellent English, and she managed to make the tour absolutely fascinating despite the rain and wind. She shared so much about the rise of tourism in Porto, the challenges Portuguese people face today, and the gripping historical rivalries between the church and the kings, many reflected in the city’s architecture. We also learned about the rivalry between princesses and how the people’s support helped Peter IV win his battle, along with his rather eerie way of expressing gratitude afterward! Maria’s storytelling brought the city to life, from why the bridge designed by Eiffel’s architect is no longer in use, to the challenges of navigating the Douro River, to the legend of the haunted train station. A true treat, Maria is an exceptional storyteller and made us fall in love with Porto even more.

Even with rain, our walking tour was a fantastic experience thanks entirely to our incredible guide Ramon! From the very start, he brought energy, humor, and enthusiasm that made the rainy weather feel like part of the adventure rather than a hindrance. Not only was he informative, but also kept us laughing and engaged the whole time. It’s clear he loves what he does, and it shows! Special shoutout for his attention to safety as we navigated the cobblestone streets with care, always checking in and guiding us confidently. I can only imagine how great this tour would be on a sunny day, but honestly, he made the rain feel like a bonus feature. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed Ramon’s walking tour of Porto. It was our first visit and would highly recommend this tour. Ramon was informative, had great energy and enthusiasm! It might have been rainy, but it didn’t matter. Loved Porto and thank Ramon for a perfect introduction to this amazing city.

Ràmon was an amazing tour guide. It was wonderful to see this charming city through his passionate and enthusiastic lens. We had a wonderful time learning the history of the major Porto landmarks, despite it being a very rainy morning. It was a memorable time for our family of 9 traveling together!

Had a wonderful walking orientation tour of Porto during our recent family vacation in Portugal. Fatmir was a fantastic guide, who showed us all the sites, gave insightful tips and suggestions for our time in Porto and was a great pleasure to interact with. We took several of his recommendations after our tour, which made our visit to Porto all the better! We would highly recommend Fatmir and Bluedragon Porto City Tours for those visiting Porto! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

We had such a great time on this walking tour. Ramon was a wonderful guide who shared so much wonderful information with us about Porto. We were very engaged with him and all he shared with us. I will also say this tour is a small group tour which made it even better. Really enjoyed it all.
