(About local Gustavo)

5 September 2025

We had a wonderful 3 hours with Gustavo. We laughed and just enjoyed a casual walk around Porto. We were able to see many of the things on “my list” by just walking with him. He shared so much that we would have never been able to learn without a guide. He is super knowledgeable but shared all of that in a very casual and relaxed way. My husband hates big tours and doing this type of experience is soooo worth it. Book Gustavo- you will love your time with him!!!Gustavo is awesome!

Orlando was an amazing tour guide who took us on a great tour all around the city highlights, stopping for a break at the train station Timeout food court which was fantastic. He clearly and passionately talked through the history and interesting and funny facts related to the sights and areas of Porto.

28 August 2025

Right out of the gate, Priscila graciously allowed my wife and I to be 30 minutes late. She is very knowledgeable with anything and everything Porto, as well as Portugal in general. We walked close to 5 miles while seeing & feeling the past, present and future of downtown Porto through Priscilla’s casual, clear and easily understandable communication style. We learned a lot, took a lot of pictures, and have already been out exploring some of her suggestions. Thank you Priscila! Priscila was delightful!

Our tour of the city center in Porto with Priscilla was just what we were looking for. Priscilla‘s flexibility during the tour and her insights into landmarks that we had passed by before, but never knew the significance, was the best. I highly recommend Priscilla if you’re in Porto and withlocals in general. It was so much better than a commercialized tour book tour. Priscilla was great! Loved the tour!

We enjoyed our tour with Andre. He was very enthusiastic to share the history of Porto with us; show us the key sites and also some lesser known features of this lovely city. If there was a slight flaw it was that the tour went on slightly too long and we had to ask Andre to end it perhaps before he was ready to.A wonderful story teller

We had the pleasure of exploring Porto on foot with Mayumi, and it was an absolute highlight of my trip. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history, culture, and traditions, as well as its food scene and local shopping spots. What truly made the experience special was Mayumi herself — her personality shone through in the most genuine way. She is kind, modest, and wonderfully bubbly, making the tour feel warm and personal while still being informative. I came away not only knowing more about Porto, but also feeling more connected to the city and its people. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an insightful and heartwarming introduction to Porto!Wonderful Walking Tour of Porto - Mayumi

(About local Orlando)

22 July 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed the three hours we spent with Orlando - who knows Porto like the back of his hand. What made his guidance so interesting is his deep knowledge of the city’s history, along with his understanding of Portugal’s place in the world going back centuries. His storytelling was riveting and we learned “little gossipy” things not in any guidebook. We can definitely recommend this type of tour if you really want to get a sense of the place you’re visiting.Intimate tour of Porto with an expert

Ana was an incredible tour guide in Porto! She was kind, knowledgeable, and very flexible, taking the time to learn our expectations and customize the experience just for us. We learned so much about the culture, picked up a few Portuguese phrases, and heard fascinating stories about the city’s history and unique details. She took us to beautiful, secluded spots only locals know. perfect for photos and even brought us to her favorite places for coffee, drinks, and told us all about the local market. Ana went above and beyond: she personally took us to buy our transportation cards, explained how to use them, and even reached out after the tour to share more helpful tips and recommendations. Her background as a sociologist added a unique perspective, making the tour both insightful and memorable. If you’re visiting Porto, don’t miss the chance to tour with Ana, you’ll leave with amazing memories, local insights, and a deeper connection to the city! An Unforgettable Tour of Porto with Ana
