Amazing guide, Incredible person
I decided to do a solo tour and I picked the absolutely best person I could to really get an inside of the city and also the knowledge and emotion of the artists histories .
I felt like I got to know more about the country in our time together and then I would have any other way. I got to hear about the emotional history of the country and also see some amazing street art.
JOAO is a very special person and I really appreciated the caring way that he took me around the city. I got more than I thought I would ever get out of a tour because it didn’t seem like a tour. It felt like I was traveling with a friend who knew and had so much knowledge About the city where he lives and the artwork that he loves.
Thank you so much!

I wanted to see another (non-tourist) side of Porto and truly experienced that on my walking tour with Bruno. I learnt so much about the history of the city, its buildings and saw parts of Porto that I otherwise would not have known about. It is the stories that give the city life, its character and make the trip memorable. Thanks Bruno for a great tour and for the dinner recommendations - they were excellent.

Our tour with Rui was everything we hoped it to be. We appreciated how personable and knowledgeable he is about the city. We took this tour during the last couple days of our stop in Porto, and we learned even more about the city than we could find on our own. He was also very flexible given the sites we had already seen. Rui felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend giving us a tour of the city he so obviously loves!
