The Tour guide was very flexible and able to accommodate our requirements. Showed all the key vantage points and provide the history in a very nice manner along with tips for other days, where to eat, what else to see, experience, etc.
Very knowledgeable and friendly! We had a great experience and learned so much about Porto. Would 100% recommend to anybody looking to take a tour.
Orlando was informative, funny, very helpful and a delightful to spend 3 hours with. We highly recommend him!
This was a lovely tour of the historic area by a local with knowledge of the city’s secrets. José Luis was awesome and entertained us with stories of the city as we toured.
Bruno was an excellent guide. He took us to some true hidden gems of Porto. Enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend this tour…
A very interesting morning with Carlos. He was a very knowledgable guide and took us to some very interesting parts of Porto. He also supplied us with many recommendations for places to eat and visit on our own. A very enjoyable time.
Our guide was excellent and catered for the four of us in sharing facts and stories. The walk was thorough, touching on the old and new, and the history fascinating.
Guide did not show up . I had many emails via Viator confirming our tour however the guide never showed. We contacted the company but they could not get a hold of the guide.
Dear Guest, We're so sorry to hear this happened in Porto. A no-show with no way to reach the guide is not the experience we want anyone to have, and we completely understand your frustration. We appreciate that you reached out and we're sorry the situation couldn't be resolved on the spot. This is being taken seriously on our end and we're looking into what went wrong. Porto is too beautiful a city to have been marked by this and we truly hope we get the chance to give you the Withlocals experience you deserved from the start. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team
Rosa was a fantastic guide! She knew so much history and shared it in a very easily digestible way. Rosa showed us all around Porto, from winding alleys to bridges, we got to see it all! We walked all around Porto but thanks to Rosa and her expertise on the area never felt like we were going up/down the whole time. She made lots of suggestions of things to do, which helped with filling our time during the rest of our visit. Rosa surprised us with cookies baked by nuns and monks as our snack, as well as a visit to Mosteiro de São Bento da Vitória. This tour was amazing and a great way to start our trip to Portugal!
Professional custom tour led by Rui. He was very considerate, knowledgeable, and got to know us in the tour to be able to make it better for us. Lots of great stories and insight into the wonderful city of Porto. Highly recommend and request Rui.
