A very pleasant afternoon with Ana. This particular tour emphasized the local food experience and also some of the relatively less touristy backstreets with more commercial properties with an emphasis on architecture and urban development. Any if from Porto and mixed up the tour with reflections on how the city has changed for her over the last few decades. We would up the tour with a visit to the old Crystal Palace grounds. Here you can look across the river to the port houses and a quite massive urban development rising up behind it. 20 years ago, said Ana, that was pretty much all green space. Leisurely and personal tour

Ana was the most friendly and caring guide. We went for a Portuguese breakfast at a beautiful place I wouldn’t have found on my own, walked through the old city and she told me everything about its history. She encouraged me to practice my Portuguese language skills and translated for me, when necessary. Ana gave me information on where to eat and experience the Portuguese culture and when we ended the day at an amazing tea house, it felt like I had spent a day with a friend. I would definitely take another tour with Ana!A perfect day in Porto

What an amazing tour! I took my wife on this tour for her birthday and Ana really went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day. I would highly recommend this tour for any couple or small group who want to get away from the mainstream tourist traps and enjoy the hidden and more beautiful side of Porto.

Ana is a gorgeous person with a huge big heart. She is born in Porto and is still living nearly her whole life in the heart of Porto. She shown us her real local parts and vipes of Porto. After our tour we felt like Locals, knew the most beautiful, hidden places and the tastiest local delicacies of food and drinks. Thanks Ana for the best Kick-Start in Porto and the great and warm time with you. Hopefully we‘ll see you again very soon.Great & warm & best guide in Porto

I booked Ana's 'Romantic tour'. I wanted to check out the off the beaten tracks and trails of Porto. It was an amazing experience and Ana went above and beyond what I ever expected from this tour. I definitely plan to return to Porto and Ana not only showed me the beautiful sites around Porto but gave me some very practical tips and suggested different areas around Porto that would suit me to rent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ana to anyone visiting Porto.

My husband and I enjoyed a tour of the Romantic areas of Porto with Ana. We have traveled to Porto a few times previously and wanted to see areas off the beaten path. That’s exactly what we did! We explored the old Jewish and Armenian areas, the area near the Crystal Palace, and found hidden gems in the gardens around Casa Tait. We ended the evening with tastings and a long chat about living in Porto at a small bar/cafe that we would have never found on our own! Enjoyable evening off the beaten path

Ana fut une formidable guide! Elle a pris le temps de s’adapter à mes demandes, de réduire le temps prévu, de m’expliquer la situation actuelle de Porto, répondre à mes questions et surtout s’adapter à mes centres d’intérêt, toujours avec ouverture d’esprit et parfois même humour! Je la recommande à tout type de voyageurs et de profils car elle est très flexible et une véritable « locale ». Malgré les imprévus de restauration un dimanche d’août, elle a su me ré-orienter vers un très bon resto/bar. C’est une guide pointilleuse et soucieuse du détail. Peut être pour améliorer les futurs services, les tours pourraient proposer une pause « photo » (surtout pour les voyageurs solos qui ne peuvent pas se prendre en photo seuls!), car Ana m’a dit adorer faire des photos et se passionner de photographie. Autre petit détail peut être, qui est celui de ramener le voyageur au premier point de rencontre (je me suis un peu perdue en revenant seule sur mes pas!). Autrement ce fut un service de qualité. Merci Ana!Superbe promenade hors des sentiers battus

Ana gave us a very passionate version of Porto that she loves, she was a great guide, keen on knowing our interest and accommodating our needs (lunch break, coffee break).

Wow! Our tour with Ana in Porto was hands down the highlight of our trip! From the moment we met her, Ana's energy was infectious. She's incredibly fun, engaging, and instantly made us feel like we were exploring the city with a wonderful friend. Ana's passion for Porto is truly inspiring. She shared so many fascinating insights and stories that we would have never discovered on our own, and she really knew how to show us a great time in the city. And the food! Oh, the food! Ana didn't just take us to tourist traps. She led us to hidden gems where we savored the most authentic and delicious local cuisine. Every bite was a delight! If you're looking for a tour that combines incredible food and a truly wonderful guide, look no further. Ana is a gem, and this tour is an absolute must-do in Porto. She made our experience so special and memorable. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and fantastic memories. Thank you, Ana! We can't recommend you highly enough!Ana is super fun!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Ana tasting the foods and wine of Porto. We loved that the tour featured local shops and food and none of the tourist hot spots that you can find on your own. She had great knowledge of the city and history of Porto which is a must for any tour for me. She was kind enough to send a bunch of suggestions for the following days when a local train strike put a wrench in some of our plans. Highly recommend an introduction to Porto with Ana!Just like the locals...

Ana was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. What we liked the best was she showed us the city itself. Not the typical touristy sites you can read about in any guidebook but the real history of Porto , the tiles, the old buildings, family run businesses, the hidden gems you would never know about unless you were with a true local. By the end of our tour we felt like we had a new friend. Porto walk

Ana gave a fun, informative tour. As a native Porto resident and sociologist, her perspective gave us great insight into the city. We came away with new thoughts about the city and we got to have both planned and also unexpected memorable experiences. Days later we were still talking about our time together. She was patient, funny, and thoughtful. Take this tour to see the city through a local lens. A tour with wonderful local perspective

Ana was a wonderful surprise for us. A wonderful mix of history and local flavor by a Porto native. Lunch was absolutely fantastic at a place we would have never found that has been in Porto over 40 years with same owners, cooks and managers. Stopped by to pick out a place for dinner- Franceshina was fantastic! Loved the stories she could tell from her childhood! By far one of the best guides we’ve ever had in many countries!Pat & Frances

Our time with Ana was very special and we cannot say enough about the care and attention she gave us. She provided us the opportunity to have input into the tour and then used her knowledge and experience to guide us through areas of Porto important to her and the community. We started as strangers but by the time we parted, it is clear that we are kindred spirits. Without hesitation, we recommend Ana for anyone looking for someone who clearly loves Porto, its history and, most importantly, its people. Wonderful Experience

My tour with Ana far exceeded my expectations. I got to learn about the history and changes to tis fluvial city as we walked and peered into shops ad alleyways, talked about the trees and cobblestone designs. I was given insights and told stories that made me feel connected to Porto in a way I had not only a few hours earlier. Ana answered all my questions and paid close attention to my interests, always connecting a vista or museum, an explanation of a local tradition or food, back to my curiosity! Wow! She is a kind and talented guide with a diversity of knowledge that can impress the hungriest minds. You will only want to learn more about this rich city and its culture after you walk with Ana! Walk into a friendship with Porto

What a turn of luck for us that Ana was available to give us a wonderful tour of Porto the city she loves with all her heart! We learned so much about history of the city, culture, saw hidden jems that only a local expert would know about. Ana was so easy to engage with - she was like our old friend who we met after a while and continued our conversation from the last chat we had :). We got to try local delicacies and learned about Portuguese and Porto traditional dishes and drinks! Ana went above and beyond and showed us so many more beautiful parts of the city even though it was not part of the original itinerary - what a treat! Thank you Ana for sharing you love and passion for your city - we now lovePorto with all our hearts and will definitely be back! ❤️A wonderful day exploring Poeto

Ana is amazing! We had a fantastic time touring the hidden Porto. As you would expect from someone born and raised in Porto (also referred to as tripeiros), she is a wealth of information and knows all the truly local gems. On top of that, she is a lovely person too and by the end felt like family. Our time flew as she kept us engaged during the tour. She personalized the tour to our liking and took us to what became one of our favorite places to eat. Ana even recommended several lovely places to eat and shared some additional places to visit for the rest of our stay. She never let us astray with her recommendations. Don't overthink it like I did -- book with Ana if she is available!Book with Ana!
