Informative and friendly

This was an excellent introduction to Porto. Our guide Matheus was friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the city in his company. The tour gave us a flavour of the main sites in Porto and we found out a lot about the history of both the city and the country. There was a fair bit of walking but nothing too strenuous and it was punctuated by lots of views and information from our guide. We’d definitely recommend this as a way to start a short break in Porto.

We had a great time with our tour guide Ricardo! Small group tour, lots of stops and mostly downhill. I recommend taking the tour early in your visit as we learned of many places to go back to go inside later.
