Highlights of Porto with Carlos - A very interesting morning with Carlos. He was a very knowledgable guide and took us to some very interesting parts of Porto. He also supplied us with many recommendations for places to eat and visit on our own. A very enjoyable time.

Rosa was a fantastic... - Rosa was a fantastic guide! She knew so much history and shared it in a very easily digestible way. Rosa showed us all around Porto, from winding alleys to bridges, we got to see it all! We walked all around Porto but thanks to Rosa and her expertise on the area never felt like we were going up/down the whole time. She made lots of suggestions of things to do, which helped with filling our time during the rest of our visit. Rosa surprised us with cookies baked by nuns and monks as our snack, as well as a visit to Mosteiro de São Bento da Vitória. This tour was amazing and a great way to start our trip to Portugal!

Great, comfortable tour out of the crowds - This is a great tour at a relaxed pace, but still covering a good amount of ground. We stayed mostly out of the crowds and saw several sights that aren't on all of the "big attractions" lists. We loved having a private guide who knew the area, the sights, and plenty of history about the city. Speaking of guides, Carlos was amazingly friendly and accommodating with anything we asked about. He's just a super friendly and smart guy all around. I can't recommend him enough!

Perfect mix for adults and kids! - We had an amazing experience with Ruben! He tailored the talk to our kids but still gave us LOTS of history about Porto. He even found a gluten free bakery for me. He continued to give us info about where to go for lunch even after our tour.
