Our tour with Helena was incredibly informative. She tailored the experience to suit our desire to explore beyond the typical tourist activities and attractions. Helena shared her extensive knowledge of local history and culture, which made the tour even more enriching. At the end of our journey, she recommended several fantastic restaurants. We will definitely recommend her to other travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path guided tour.The best introduction to Porto

We had the pleasure of spending half a day in Porto with Helena as our guide, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her, Helena’s warmth and enthusiasm made us feel welcome. She was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving together Porto’s history, culture, and hidden gems in a way that was both engaging and easy to enjoy. She brought us through highlights, always sharing stories that gave each stop more meaning. Her pacing was perfect, balancing sightseeing with time to relax and take it all in. Helena also introduced us to Time Out Market Porto, where we had one of our favorite meals of the trip, trying the famous francesinha sandwich, fresh seafood with octopus, and of course a Port tasting. If you’re visiting Porto and want a guide who combines professionalism, passion, and a true love for her city, Helena is the one to book. She turned our short time in Porto into an unforgettable experience.So much to see + a great tour!

Three of us took a morning tour with Helena who knows Porto well and is steeped in its history and architecture. We paused at well known sites to understand their history and significance and discovered lovely vistas and hidden views of the city. The tour covered a lot of ground at a gentle pace with Helena providing a constant stream of interesting facts and legends. She also has some great historical photos of Porto which really helped us to understand the history. Finished with an excellent lunch recommendation!History, culture and secret viewpoints

(About local Maria Joao)

1 September 2025

The tour with Maria made our visit to Porto very special. It was so nice to avoid the generalised museum, church and art gallery visits that so often come with a city tour, and to hear about real life growing up and living in the city. The stop offs to try local food specialities, particularly the fish market, were great, but the wine and cheese tasting (our favourite things!) was the highlight. And to talk to someone so knowledgeable about their subject, but to feel like you are just chatting with a friend, was very comfortable and relaxing. A definite 10/10.

Myself and teenage son had a great time with Jorge. We were very impressed by his local knowledge of Porto and indeed of the country as a whole. It was very informative And we learned a lot. We walked all over the city and he paid attention to what we had already seen and had yet to see. He walked back with us to our accommodation to end our tour . I would highly recommend Jorge. Great Guide

We booked Carlos last minute and he made our morning. The day we arrived in Porto the city was very crowded and we could barely walk down the street. Carlos took us on a 3 hour walking talking, showing us side streets and areas we would not have gone to otherwise. He was excellent and would definitely recommend. After the tour he texted us suggestions for restaurants and other sights to see in Portuga. Excellent guide to porto.

Helena is definitely very knowledgeable, however, the way the facts were presented were not very interesting to half of our group. My 10 year old, who has been on other tours (and was engaged in those) kept asking when the tour will end. As a result, I can’t really recommend this tour for anyone with (around) teen age kids.Knowledgeable guide, but not for teens

We were a group of five girlfriends visiting Porto for the weekend from England, and Helena was the perfect guide for us! With her background of living in England, she could relate to us and introduce us to the wonderful history and sites of Porto. She also went the extra mile, and shared a list of great places to eat, including places for vegetarians. So, if you’re visiting Porto and want to get a sense of the city in a fun and informative way, Helena’s the local guide for you! Friendly ans knowledgeable guide

Theresa met me at my hotel & we set off to see the sights & buildings I had expressed an interest in. Theresa was good company and knowledgeable. During her guided walk she gave a concise account of the history - I complemented her on her ability to make her talk relevant & to the point. She knew that I had wanted to use her tour as a familiarising myself with Porto walk. She achieved her aim as today I set off myself to explore & as a result of her guided walk yesterday I found my way around At the end of our walk along the river She kindly walked me to The Funicular so that I could make my way back to my hotel without having to walk uphill. I would recommend Theresa’s tour as she is intelligent and articulate & good company. Amazing walk around The City

Die Tour mit Joao war ein Höhepunkt während unserer 5 Tage in Porto! Nach der 3-stündigen Tour am ersten Tag haben wir die Stadt mit anderen Augen betrachtet. Joao erkundigte sich initial nach unseren Wünschen und komponierte dann eine sehr abwechslungsreiche Tour zu Fuss durch das moderne und historische Porto. Abseits der üblichen Touristenpfade unterwegs, zeigte er uns von Street-Art über historische Juwelen hin zu politisch markanten Bauwerken die Vielfalt von Porto. Dank seinen extrem fundierten kunsthistorischen, politischen Kenntnissen und seinem perfekten Englisch konnten beliebige Themen spannend vertieft werden. Nebenbei versorgte er uns mit wertvollen Tips für authentische Gastronomie und Nachtleben. Wir empfehlen Joao wärmstens für eine einsichtsreiche und augenöffnende Tour durch Porto!Tour mit perfektem Mix für Individualisten

Ruben was a great tour guide, and we were so grateful that he could accommodate our group at such short notice. He tailored the tour based on our interest and timing, he even ended the tour in a place where we could grab dinner since we were hungry! We appreciated his recommendations for things to do with our remaining time in Porto. He recommended the world of wine and we went the next day and had a wonderful experience. He gave us tips on how to sign up for tours and things that we might need reservations for, which was very much appreciated. Thank you, Ruben!Great tour of Porto!

Carlos exceeded our expectations for the city walking tour. We went to every place on my list and he shared so many insights and fun facts with a sense of humor: Sao Bento train station, Porto cathedral, the Tile Bank, best Pastel da nata bakery, McDonalds inside an original beautiful old building, best high view across the river and many many more. His knowledge of the city is fantastic. It was a rainy day but the 4 of us had so much fun that we didn’t care. Thanks for an unforgettable time with you, Carlos. I would highly recommend that you take a tour with Carlos. Best walking tour of Porto wirh Carlos

It is clear he loves Porto and his enthusiasm for art really came through. He did a great job of catering to the interests of 4 of us in a short period of time. And we loved learning about some Porto landmarks and murals that we would never have otherwise noticed had we been on our own. Great tour

We had the pleasure of taking a 3-hour custom private tour with Joao, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment we met him, Joao’s passion for Porto and his depth of knowledge about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems was evident. Joao tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, which made it feel like a unique experience rather than a standard sightseeing walk. He took us to both iconic landmarks and off-the-beaten-path spots that only a true local would know. His storytelling was engaging, providing fascinating insights into Porto’s history, local traditions, and even the best places to eat. One of the highlights of the tour was Joao's warm and friendly personality. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly approachable, making the whole experience feel like exploring the city with a friend. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time, answering all of our questions and even giving us recommendations for the rest of our stay in Porto. If you’re looking for a customized and immersive way to discover Porto, I highly recommend booking a tour with Joao. It’s a perfect way to connect with the heart of the city and learn from someone who clearly loves sharing its charm with others.A Fantastic Custom Tour with Joao

We had a limited time in Porto, so we booked a 4-hour walking tour of the city with Carlos. He put together a customized tour with everything we requested, plus some incredible street art, a stop for a pastel de nata, a place to see reclaimed tile, restaurant recommendations, and great context for many of the buildings, sculptures, and other sights. Our feet are tired, but we were thrilled to see so much in one afternoon. Thank you, Carlos!We recommend Carlos’s customized tour

Our tour with Andre was nothing short of amazing. As a true local to Porto, his deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture was exceptional. He pointed out fascinating details that we would have completely overlooked on our own. Andre's passion and pride as a native son of Porto truly shone through during the tour, making the experience even more special. What made this tour unique was how Andre took us to hidden gems—places you wouldn’t find by yourself, like centuries-old streets with residents who have lived there for over 70 years, or intriguing remnants from medieval times. Every stop on the tour was filled with rich stories and insights. Andre himself is incredibly kind, friendly, and engaging. No question went unanswered, even when we asked about things outside the usual topics of the tour. Spending more than two hours with him was an absolute pleasure, and I can’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for a truly authentic experience in Porto.Book it!
