Walk through Porto history with a knowledgeable, kind local guide
Americo met Tom and me at the Vimara Peres statue near the Cathedral, a terrific start to our 3-hour+ walking tour. He clearly loves his city and knows it well. In addition to Porto’s remarkable train station, the Cathedral and other iconic sites, he shared stories and sites that added perspective and depth, including a stop at an archeological site near the Cathedral that we hadn’t noticed earlier this week. A young mother and well-behaved toddler from Gaia were delightful fellow travelers. Americo ended our tour with a walk across the beautiful Douro River to view his beloved city from Gaia.

Walk with friends
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

History, Humour, and Heart
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...
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.

Good to do

Tons of history and loads to see
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 fantastic!!
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!
