It was a great overview and introduction to what Porto is all about! The places of interest are not that far from each other, in fact you can visit them on your own if you choose to but you would miss out on great information the tour had to offer. We did this literally on the day of our arrival and used it as a reference for the rest of our stay, got us familiarized with the surrounding area and gave us the confidence to explore on our own afterwards. Diogo was so professional and was a great resource for us even post-tour!
The tour guide was amazing! Spoke English and did a wonderful job teaching us about the city!!!! Great tour!!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and very personable and easy to relate too, a great experience. It really was helpful for our first day in Porto
Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable of the city, we learned a lot about the history and culture. Overall a great experience, I do suggest to take this tour at the beginning of your trip so you can learn more about the restaurant choices and the places you want to go back and visit!
Had a great day on a walking tour of Porto with Diogo! Covered a lot of sites and ended with eating a pastel de nata at Manteigaria.! Diogo took time to answer all our questions and he paced the tour to our group needs. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get acquainted with Porto.
Fantastic tour- we saw so much more than we expected. Diogo was a perfect guide and gave us great insight into the history of the city. Highly recommend.
This was the perfect way to start our trip in Porto! Diogo was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable on the history of Porto and so friendly and kind. We truly fell in love with Porto after this experience and it will be a highlight of our trip!
Diogo was amazing and we loved our time with him. Knowledgeable and well versed on porto. Gave us several tips and advice on local spots both in porto and lisbon (our next spot). If you do the book store. I would recommend starting very early so you can do that first. After 920 the bookstore is so overcrowded and overwhelmed with people. Highly recommend.
The tour was very good; the guide Diogo is 100% recommended. He knows Lisbon very well. It is an activity to do without fail in Lisbon.
Diogo was amazing! We had the best time and he was super knowledgeable and helpful to learn about the history. Such a great time
