I can only recommend Ana,she knows perfectly the city, told us a lot not only about historical buildings but also about culture,tradition and current way of living in the city. She spent with us even more time than required trying to show us all her favorite spots. Very lovely city and very welcoming local guide!:)Awesome guide with passion to her town!

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 was very knowledgeable and cleverly told us her personal story of Porto along with heaps of history. We had a wonderful Portuguese breakfast with her and saw various types of architecture and many traditional insights and shops - enough to keep us busy the following day. Ana comes highly recommended.Ana extroadinaire

Ana begun our tour by asking what we were hoping for, a perfect start, then she delivered exactly the type of tour we asked for plus more. Incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the town, local businesses, current culture and landmarks Ana delivered information clearly and in an entertaining way. She took us to interesting places we would never have found alone and gave us insights that only a true local could. A fantastic way to start a stay in Porto!Perfect local guide.

Ana was wonderful! She took us on the most authentic food tour of Porto, into places we wouldn’t have thought to visit. Hidden gems in the heart of the city, everything we tasted, drank and visited was excellent. She took us round her beautiful city and we felt like we were with a friend. We enjoyed her company, she shared her knowledge and showed us some amazing places to eat and drink. The most enjoyable tour weve ever done!

Our tour was hindered by the weather. Lots of rain and wind. Ana has an extensive knowledge of the culture of the city and shared it. We thought that there might be more information about viewing the landmarks of the city. She is very generous with her time and was willing to sit with us at a relaxed pace.Soggy day in Porto

It was such a pleasure touring Porto with Anna. She was born and raised in the area and was intimately knowledgeable of Portugal and Porto’s rich and diverse history. We saw and hear so many things that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise! And her Resturant recommendations were spot on! THANK YOU Ana!!Local Flair!

We believe this may have been one of our best travel experiences among many. Ana was knowledgeable, passionate about the history of the city and its effect on the people and culture of Porto. The tour was organized, thoughtful and presented a concise story which was a terrific springboard to our further exploration of Porto. The perfect way to start a visit!Especially great experience

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!
