Great overview walking tour of historical Porto - The guide Joa gave a nice background of the sites we were visiting. Nice walking pace as he provided a bit of history to what we were seeing. Good overview of Porto and suggestions on what we can do on our own.

Met all expectations - We are a family with two kids (9 and 11) and we all truly enjoyed the tour with Diogo. It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and tips for traveling in Porto. Diogo was great; so animated, passionate, and speaks perfect English. Nice size group. Not too big that you feel like you are in a herd of sheep. Very much recommend for your first day in the city to get introduced to some of the highlights.

Tour to savor Porto at its best - Tour in Italian from the town hall to the cathedral with our guide Sara who told us "about everything and more" but above all she conveyed to us her passion for the city of Porto. Seeing it with his own eyes was beautiful!
Perfect organisation, we will return and happily do the other itineraries too

Relax day - Our experience has been very rewarding and not only because of the Free tour where we have seen part of the city of Porto, but also because of all the information that Almudena, our guide, has given us (restaurants, wineries...) By the way, we have eaten in one of them and out of 10. Thank you Almudena out of 10

Tour with Marta - We took the tour with Marta in the late afternoon. It was obvious that he had a lot of information about the city, the only drawback was that he spoke extremely fast and sometimes he lost a lot of information along the way. The tour is still quite complete.
