Wonderful tour - Mayumi provided a very fun, informative tour. She absolutely loves her city and its history, and that love is infectious. She was very flexible, making sure that the tour reflected out interests, made sure we had a chance to experience some local delicacies, and gave us some great recommendations for post-tour visits. Would love to do another tour with her again in the future.

The best way to see Porto - Anselmo was the best tour guide and he designed the perfect route with the right amount of challenge. Coming from Colorado and as an experienced cyclist, I wanted a challenging ride yet also to see the important sights of Porto. Anselmo delivered. It was a very fun way to see Porto and the alleyways, cobble stones, and trails through the parks made the ride fun and interesting. Next time I’m in Porto, I’ll be booking with Anselmo again. Highly recommend him as your cycling guide!

We had a great time with... - We had a great time with Priscilla. She was very knowledgeable and showed us some wonderful places in Porto. One recommendation, she should either speak louder or walk away from crowds (especially people playing music) before talking. Everyone in the group didn’t hear everything Priscilla said. Thanks for a great tour!

Great tour in Porto - My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Priscila. She was very calm and took her time to show us some lovely spots in Porto whilst explaining everything to us. She then followed up with some tips and ideas on what to do when we left her. We really enjoyed our experience with her and she recommended some greats places for us too.

Learn from a local - My walking tour of Porto with Priscilla set me up for my next week here. She was knowledgeable, passionate, and brought the city’s history and culture to life. She took me to well-known landmarks and hidden gems, sharing interesting stories along the way and catered to my interest in coffee and food. The pace was perfect, and her recommendations for food and sights were spot on. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic experience of Porto!

Perfect Day in Porto! - Priscilla gave us the perfect day in Porto! She took us to all the sites that were on our list but showed us the hidden gems with the story’s to go with them. This is my idea of an ideal tour, a local sharing the history and bringing tour books to life! She gave us a detailed list of all the hot spots and which tourist traps to avoid to be able to truly enjoy Porto as a local. Many beautiful photo ops, and knowledge of where to indulge the BEST Natas and Francesinhas in Porto! Many thanks Priscilla! Kim and Mike

Amazing tour with Carlos - Carlos was fantastic! He is a passionate tour guide with excellent local knowledge. He showed us many of the hidden gems of Porto that we would never have seen or learned about without him. We loved visiting the prison and hearing the stories connected to its history. He showed us great views, interesting little roads, a lot of street art, and he gave us many recommendations of places to eat. All delivered with his love for Porto. Highly recommended!

Your with Teresa - Teresa led us on a very enjoyable private tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the history of Porto, the local architecture, the artwork in the churches, and the underlying social forces. As part of the tour, she took us to a beautiful monastery where we got to sit in a private sitting area and sample baked goods and sweet wine made by the monks there. She was also a delight to spend several hours with. If you’re a cat lover (Porto has lots of cats), you’ll have a lot in common with Teresa. If you’re not, I’m sure she won’t hold it against you!

No Show Operator André - Operator André was a no-show. Didn't find out he's not showing up until 20 minutes after the tour should've started. He was aggravated at his company but seemed to direct it at me. He said he booked a group outside of Porto. He kept yelling "Can you listen? " when I tried to speak. I thought i was scammed as he refused to share the name of his company and literally said "It is none of your business!" I'm sure Viator will delete my review. He claims he canceled and I should have received a notification. I was charged for nothing! Disgusting. Do not book!
