Ana was an incredible guide, we had a great time and she knew how to manage the inclement weather by making sure we were indoors while it rained and was so very knowledgeable!

Ramon was an awesome guide, very warm and funny. He was a great storyteller with a perfect blend of historical facts and pop culture references. I would highly recommend this tour especially for first time visitors to Porto/Gaia area.

Ana gave an enchanting tour of the city with history, insight and humor. A unique perspective from her memories growing up and even Porto today. We left feeling excited to see and explore more the city’s restaurants, shopping and museums. Would recommend to anyone coming to Porto.

It was a fantastic tour to get the feel of the historic centre. It was guided by the most sweet Ana Bakx, a most knowledgeable and amicable guide. She explained the history in detail about all the squares and sites we visited whilst making it entertaining at times. She was also very helpful when we asked questions. She is surely dedicated to her job.

Sophia is an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable, not just with dates but the "back story" behind the event. She has a good sense of humor and seemed to be able to tailor her talk to her audience. The tour is a lot of walking but we also frequently stopped to hear about something so it was not too much walking.
