We had a great afternoon with Gustavo, where he introduced us to the sites and history of Porto. What a great way to start our time here as this tour allowed us to get our bearings and determine where we wanted to spend more time. In addition to being a great tour guide, Gustavo was helpful in providing restaurant and wine recommendations. We would recommend his tour of Porto to others as you will get the real history.Great introduction to Porto!

We only had a few days in Portugal, were staying in Lisbon, and were only able to make a one-day trip to Porto. We booked a 3-hour private walking tour through Withlocals.com, only one day in advance, and were pleased to find that we could select a timeframe that fit with our compressed stay in Porto. Bruno was great. Once we connected via the App, he supplied some lunch suggestions prior to our tour. He was at the meeting point on time. He was a highly enthusiastic, energetic, fun, and knowledgeable tour guide and provided a great overview of the City. We very much enjoyed the entire experience!Excellent Tour Guide
