The guide was a local working citizen, punctual, and kept good contact with us before the tour. She had good knowledge about the history and culture of the place and made excellent recommendations for booking restaurants. We would highly recommend her.

Hanna is a great tour guide, really showing some secrets of Porto. We spent a very pleasant day with her, without hurry, nice talk, getting to know history, culture as well as where to get good food and wine.

After spending a week in Lisbon, I wasn’t sure I really liked Porto, but Simon won us over with the true hidden gems of Porto. Of course we hit the highlights, the cathedral and the churches, but then we ventured into the hidden side streets, where the real people of Porto live among the ghosts of the past. From the people, and friendly cats to the colorful homes and narrow passages, we were charmed. The magic of Porto even has me writing a very lyrical review.!!

Catia was fantastic! She showed us the history of Porto from Roman times to current. She was fun, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. We experienced history, culture, food and traditions. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and especially Catia. She emailed me ahead of time to find out what we liked and wanted to experience and she nailed it!

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Marynka. The sights were taylored to our interests and she was good at pacing and giving us time for breaks. There is no way we could have seen all that we did without her as our guide! Thank You!

Mayinka was kind, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. We had such a lovely tour with her. She made sure we saw things we are interested in and was flexible to our pace. She had great tips for the rest of our trip too! We loved the cathedral and Douro riverside as particular highlights!

Mayinka was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable, approachable, understanding the needs of our family!
