Perfection for an one day experience!! - What can I say... amazing time spent during the day.
Ricardo was an amazing host with a great sense and knowledge and feel for the city; from the breakfast to the lunch after the amazing boat tour it was just sublime.
Porto truly is an amazing place to visit and the experience makes it justice.
The all family had an amazing time. 100% recommended.
Again Ricardo, thank you for being an incredible host providing us with great memories.

What a great day! - We had a wonderful full day with Ricardo! This was a private tour that allowed us to have good conversations and just enjoy seeing how the locals live.
We enjoyed the tea/coffee in the morning and had a nice walk through parts of Porto.
Then we joined a tour group at Palacio da Bolsa.
After that, a tram ride down to the river where we went and had lunch in Vila Nova de Gaia away from the tourists. We had a taste of simpler life in Portugal and then thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon exploring the Douro River and seeing Porto and Gaia from the river on a private boat.
We couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Ricardo was wonderful.
If you are looking for an intimate tour with a focus on how locals enjoy Porto - you wont be disappointed!

A great day in Porto! - The city is amazing, the river views are beautiful and the little experiences are delightful, but it is the people behind this tour who turn it into such a great day in Porto. Well done and thank you!
