We all thoroughly enjoyed our up and down the hills of Porto with Helena. Full of fact, figures and insight that we would never have discovered on our own. Helena was utterly charming and lovely to chat with as we strolled around the streets. I’d highly recommend.Getting to know Porto

I truly believe my time is my most valuable possession! That said, the time I spent with Helena was incredible! Helena is very passionate about Porto and she showed me through her eyes a part of the city I would have never discovered on my own. I would highly suggest to anyone looking to learn about one of the most beautiful cities I've ever encountered to spend a few hours with Helena and discover all that Porto has to offer; you definitely won't be disappointed... Helena is Simply the Best!

We loved our time with Helena discovering key buildings, streets and viewpoints around Porto. She shared loads of interesting facts and details about the city and the tour was an ideal introduction to what Porto has to offer. We will follow up with more detailed visits now we have a feel for the city. Helena was good company and easy to chat to.Enthusiastic upbeat guide

Thanks Helena, you gave us a perfect feel of the great traditional places to enjoy lovely food delights of the every day classics and included the historic background and sights as we meandered round the town. We’ve even managed to find our way back to some just to chill and soak up the atmosphere without a schedule. Your dual nationality and passion for the history gave us a great experience thanks.
