Great walking tour - This was my first time to do a walking tour and I enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Jorge, was very informative and really takes time to explain questions that arises. We had a nice pace walking and seeing the sites .

See Porto with Gianfranco! - Gianfranco was an excellent tour guide. Much, much better than the average free walking tour (which are often quite good). He was just really exceptional in terms of his knowledge, breadth, enthusiasm, and recommendations. He also took us to some very interesting places that we would have otherwise never learned about (like a fancy suit store built at the bottom of a 700 year old building!)

Good intro to Porto - Overall, the tour was a good introduction to Porto. The guide had great enthusiasm and knowledge. The only recommendation we have is that he speak more slowly. I missed out on some of the information because it was rapid-fire.
