Carmelitas churches look like the biggest church in the city however this is because they are two churches separated by one of the world’s narrowest houses, an the reason, you will find out in the day with us :) .

I loved, I loved, wonderful city. On my first visit to the city of Porto I fell in love. St. Benedict's beautiful station, the streets, the broth market I loved and everything cleaned despite the huge tourists who walked there. Experience to repeat for sure
A tour guided by someone who truly loves what he does, passionate, funny, and full of knowledge. Pedro kept us completely engaged, weaving big historical moments with his own storytelling style. Highly recommend Pedro and Daily Tours if you want to understand Porto beyond the surface.

The informative guide gave lots interesting facts and stories about the locations visited. We walked at an easy pace but still managed to visit lots of locations. Many recommendations were given to visit after the tour.
This was far more than a walk to see the key sites, the guide provided great insights & historical knowledge of portugal & relevance in Porto
Very knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately he was quite late. The tour should have been three hours and it overran by 25 minutes. I had another tour at 2pm so had to leave the end. Thankfully he ordered a taxi for me. I did just make the next tour
Pedro was unbelievable! He stayed with us more than the 4 hours the tour called for. Even when I thought I couldn’t walk anymore I wanted to hear more of the history and insights into the area that I didn’t want to end the tour! I highly recommend this tour and especially Pedro!
Wonderful fun informative walking tour experience with Pedro . Pedro made history of the city so entertaining
Very nice corner, we preferred Porto than Lisbon, very touristy, what is a shame is that it takes advantage to increase prices.
Great walking tour with Pedro. He made it fun and informative We had a great morning exploring the city with him. Very glad we did it as we wouldn’t have seen half the things we saw without the tour.
