Carlos hat es ohne Probleme mit uns drei Mädels aufgenommen (wir sind wirklich quirlig). Die Tour war toll und hat uns viele Orte gezeigt, die wir alleine nicht gefunden hätten. Super Restaurant und Bar Tipps gab‘s obendrauf. Und auf den Spuren von Harry Potter waren wir auch. Also sehr zu empfehlen!Tolle Tour

Dear Jorge,
thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Porto! We enjoyed every minute – especially the delicious pastéis de nata you introduced us to, they were an absolute highlight. The visit to the Mercado do Bolhão was also fantastic: the stands you carefully selected gave us a truly authentic taste of Porto’s life.
Your insider tips and your passion for the city made our stay unforgettable. We’re really grateful and can wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting Porto!

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.

Our walking tour with Jorge was truly unforgettable! Born and raised in Porto, he has such deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden corners, and he shared it all in such a fun and engaging way. He went above and beyond for us — even staying extra hours to make sure we saw everything and then joining us for a drink, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Jorge is not only an incredible guide, but also a genuinely kind and generous person. If you want to see Porto through the eyes of a true local, don’t miss a tour with JorgeTruely Unforgettable!

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.

Ruben heeft ons meegenomen naar de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden in de stad, maar ook naar een paar plekken waar geen toeristen komen. Hij kent zijn geschiedenis heel goed. Het was ook interessant om te horen hoe het wonen in Porto voor de oudere en jongere bevolking er nu aan toegaat. Echt een aanrader! Een interessante middag met Ruben

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!

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Porto with Jorge as our guide—and what an incredible experience it was! From the very beginning, Jorge made us feel like locals, not just tourists. He’s knowledgeable, passionate about his city, and full of great stories that brought Porto’s history and culture to life.
We started our tour at the iconic Mercado do Bolhao and enjoyed hand crafted wines, meats, and cheeses. Later we visited São Bento train station, where Jorge pointed out the beautiful tile work and shared its historical significance. Then we wandered through some of Porto’s most breathtaking cathedrals and churches—each one more stunning than the last, and all enriched by Jorge’s insights.
What really set this tour apart, though, were the local spots Jorge introduced us to. We ducked into tiny hole-in-the-wall cafés and visited out of the way old town passageways that we never would’ve found on our own. We sampled classic Portuguese dishes—everything from fresh-baked pastries to savory local specialties. Each bite was unforgettable, and each stop felt authentically Porto.
Jorge’s warmth, humor, and deep knowledge made this one of the highlights of our trip. If you want to see the real Porto—not just the postcard views—book a tour with him. You’ll come away with full hearts, full stomachs, and stories to share for a lifetime.
Highly recommend!An Unforgettable Tour of Porto with Jorge!

Thanks to Teresa, we gained a great insight into Porto, well beyond the usual tourist spots. We’re especially grateful for her restaurant recommendations – we visited several amazing places we never would have discovered on our own.
Thank you so much again, Teresa – and apologies for the delayed review!Eine Tour, die alle Erwartungen erfüllt

Carlos took us on a superb walking tour of Porto. He tailored it to the be interesting for our family of 5, and hit many major highlights. He took us to a variety of slightly off the beaten path sites that really speak to the living history of Porto. He arranged a visit to the Leilo bookstore and this was an absolute highlight for our girls. He took the time to send us a ton of recommendations for the rest of our stay, inclusion attractions, day trips and restaurants.amazing local guide

We so enjoyed our afternoon with professional and conversational Jorge - he immediately “got us” - accommodating our arrival at and introducing us to the Bolhao Market - where we ate and drank several times - cheese and carpaccio and seafood - taking in the sensory experience sprinkled with his personal history visiting the Market (where he obviously knows the owner-vendors). We are city-loving walkers, and Jorge’s content and pace perfectly matched ours - and though we booked this as an introductory food tour, we knew that Jorge would provide more - he shared along our historic and neighborhood route most engaging information about Porto history and sights. We concluded our tour at a locals-only establishment, where we truly could have stayed into the later afternoon for both another meal and more getting to know Jorge - and certainly anther cold carafe of Vino Verde as our table was right next to the gracious restaurant owners who were taking in their late lunch before dinner service. That said, Jorge offered where we might eat additionally later that evening, and we obviously did exactly that - another great culinary, Porto-specific restaurant where we again felt perfectly at home and hosted. Cheers & Saude, Jorge!Perfect Pace - Drink, Eats & Porto!

From interesting stories about the multitude of historic churches to the history of tiles and their importance in the day to day lives of the local people, there was another story to be found around each corner of the city. The view from the Porto Cathedral viewpoint, the Cathedral courtyard history and the stroll through the neighborhood leading to the Ribiera District was a wonderful highlight to the end of the tour. We would highly recommend a tour with Katerina. She is a wonderful, knowledgeable and very personable guide.Wonderful Tour In Porto
