Joao was fabulous! Very friendly, easy going and knowledgeable. We traversed the Porto neighbourhoods and learnt about the building architecture and history. I highly recommend this intimate, personable and informative tour. Worth every euro! Obrigada Joao!!
Fabulous local guide who provided in depth knowledge about Porto historic town and history. Plus, you get to skip thr long lines at the Lello Bookstore.
Really knowledgeable tour guide, very friendly and helpful. It was great to see all around the city.
The small group walking tour of Porto is a must to-do! The history comes alive as you tour the city. Barbara was our guide. She was highly knowledgeable and delightful to engage with! Without Barbara’s details, we would have missed so much. TIP: Book a tour that includes a ticket for the Livraria Lello. The lines outside are CRAZY and with a group tour, you get to skip the line.
Our guide was fun, personable, and very knowledgeable about her beautiful city, Portugal! The views were incredible on our tour and we learned so much! It was a blast and a great way to get a feel for the city!
Our tour experienced issues with holiday availability, followed by meeting point changes, and finally inability to find our guide. We finally punted & joined a guide that was doing a free walking tour. In fairness, the tour team went out of their way to accommodate our bookstore visit on a different day than scheduled.
Hello Corey, we are sorry that you didn't have the experience you and also us wanted you to have in Porto. Unfortunately that day we had to change the meeting point due to some constructions that would complicate meeting the guide and it was also complicated there and we thought you were doing the tour with our guide. Hope that you were able to enjoy Porto.
Ricardo, our tour guide, was one of the best guides we've ever encountered. He was charming, polite, personable and oh so knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he could not answer. He took us from Porto's cathedral through the old town to the famous Lello bookshop. He even arranged for a charming coffee break in Porto's famous tiled train station. At every stage of our walk he managed to bring history back to life. We thoroughly recommend this tour - it is so worth it and leaves you satisfied, entertained and educated.

Hello Sharon, thank you so much for your review. Good to hear that you enjoyed the tour and our guide. Hope you had an amazing stay in Porto. All the best.
What has been said about Porto is true. Be prepared for cobblestones and elevation change. A good pair of walking shoes is a must. Helps to be a little bit in shape as well. Also, our tour guide was excellent! She was well versed, pleasant and, above all, patient. Made the whole experience special.
Hello John, thank you for your review. Really happy that even with a lot of coblestones and ups and downs you enjoyed our tour and city :) Porto is a special place! All the best.
