Great tour for introduction to Porto. Highly recommended! - We are so glad we selected this tour. Favia was an excellent guide telling us about the history of Porto through the many historic buildings. The tour included Porto sites and ended with a nice river boat ride from one bridge to the site of the ocean. It lasted about 4 hours and was well worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Additionally, Favia was helpful with recommendations of restaurants and Fado entertainment.

Takes 4.5 hours and provides highlights - Porto is definitely being discovered and the locals appear to be happy to share their cultural heritage. Tour (actually 4.5 hours, 9am- 1:30pm) helps to get you oriented to the city and into certain spots (book store, train station, tram, boat and end across the river) that you would need to otherwise organize/reserve/navigate separately. Meeting point was very clear and they planned for bathroom breaks and coffee. Our guide, Francisco, was very personable and warm. He shared great stories and kept track of all the participants.
And provided recommendations for lunch afterwards for our diverse diet group. You'll be at mercy of tourist traffic (eg. bookstore) that may make the tour a little longer. Even though Porto is very hilly, there was only really one incline. It's an enjoyable way to learn about Porto, the people and history.

Touring Porto with ease and authenticity - The city tour with Francisco was truly amazing. We enjoyed the authenticity of how he carried out the tour and the sights that we stopped at. The convenience from the arrangement of the library, cableway and boat tour was seamless and appreciated. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to explore Porto!

I liked the visit of... - I liked the visit of railway station São Bento and a short ride with the cable car. The river cruise was pretty windy, should've sat at the back.
