Porto private tour - I had a private tour and it turned out to be a truly great experience. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city’s history and its architecture. What I appreciated the most was the interaction: he answered all my questions clearly and in depth. The explanations were never superficial and always adapted to my curiosity and interests. It felt more like a conversation with an expert than a standard tour, and I learned much more than I expected. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to really understand the city not just see it.

Porto in the e Morning - Highly recommend getting a guide to familiarize yourself with new city to get the lay of the land before venturing on your own. Our guide Mayumi is a knowledgeable guide and passionate about Porto which comes across during our tour. She is a wealth of information which made us appreciate the history of this city even more.

Enjoyed!! - We really enjoyed learning from and walking with Ruben on our 3 hour private tour. He is soft spoken yet very enthusiastic about his hometown of Porto which he clearly loves. Our time with him was a great introduction to Porto. He even sent us a follow up email with so much information about Porto plus some restaurant suggestions.

Great Private Tour to Learn Porto History and Culture - We truly enjoyed our private tour with Orlando. Over the course of several hours, we saw all the highlights of Porto along with several-off-the-beaten path experiences. If you want to understand the history and culture of Porto – including how country formation, religion, and economic changes shape current times -- Orlando is a remarkable guide. We felt we had an authentic experience and learned a great deal. He was never in a hurry and took the time to explain and discuss a wide range of topics that you would not find in a typical group tour.

Just an ok tour. - This tour was just ok. Guide was not great - not very engaged or interesting. Porto is easy to see in half a day tops. There's just not too much there.
