Excellent, knowledgeable tour company and great tour! - The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He found a great restaurant for us for after the tour. We stopped at so many beautiful vistas. We did a wine tasting, went to the ocean and saw the sites of Porto. It is a great tour to see the city, and the tour company is the best.

Great intro to the City!! - What a great way to get an introduction to the city! Pedro was an amazing and knowledgable guide. He first took us to Bolhao market whick is the cleanest market we've ever seen! Then to the best view of Porto from the Monastery of Serra do Pilar where we had a homemade Pastel de nata! We then toured Pocas Winery in Gaia. (with great tastes I might add!) From there to the train station, saw the Palacio da Bolas, the Forte de Sao Joao Baptista da Foz, the beach at Matosinhos, toured the Forte de Sao Francisco Xavier, saw where the Porto River meets the Atlantic Ocean, and then ended our day by being dropped off at Restaurante O Mar'co which came highly recommended! Thank you Pedro for such a great day with you. I might also mention he took wonderful photos for us!!!

Great tour - would thoroughly recommend 😁🍷 - We booked this tour as a group of 5 on the 31st August and as sociable as we are it was nice that we were kept as a small family group. It was a great tour and our guide Juan was both friendly and knowledgable. He clearly loves all things Porto and his passion for his locality really shone through. It was our first time in Porto and we found the tour gave us a great overview of not only the inner city but the beautiful coastline. The port wine tasting was comprehensive and informative and we have really been enjoying the port we bought since coming home though we didn’t feel obliged or pressured to buy any port after our tasting. All in all it was a great tour, good fun and a wonderful start to our Porto break.

Unforgettable - Wow, what a treat.
Our tour was absolutely amazing.
This was probably our favorite tour out of at least dozen tours that we did during our 3 weeks in Spain & Portugal.
Porto is an amazing city that we will most definitely visit again, but what made this tour more special was our guide Joao.
Places he took us & stories he told us made us fall in love with this city through his eyes.
Absolutely unforgettable.
Next time we are in Porto, we will absolutely book a tour with this company again. (Apparently they do amazing Douro Valley tours!)
Highly recommended!

An excellent experience, well worth the cost - Was an absolutely amazing trip. Bruno was a hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and very friendly guide who made the day wonderful. The wine is delicious, the lunch is filling, and the day was the perfect length. I'd do this tour again I'm ever back in Porto and will be telling all my friends to come. Very very good value for the cost.

Excellent - We've been extremely happy of our Half-Day tour of January 2020. We were a very small group and our guide Pietro was perfect: very knowledgeable and able to adapt, always able and happy to talk about the topics which are more relevant to each of us, young and old. We also appreciated that the tour, differently than others, includes some out of city center areas, and seaside, which made it even more informative and gave us good ideas on how to spend more time nex time in Porto. Definitely recommended.

Exceptional - Pedro, our guide, took us to visit both the historical and artistic beauties of Porto but also the natural beauty: the parks, the river and the ocean. He told us about the past and present of this beautiful city, and we ended the tour in a famous winery, Ferreira, where we could taste its very famous wine. Everything was truly unforgettable
