The Amazing Orlando

Orlando’s knowledge and love for the city of Porto made this tour one to remember. The breadth of information in tandem with his lovely personality left us with a better understanding of the architecture, food and history of Porto. He’s also extremely funny and will answer any question you have. Could not recommend more!

Jorge is a very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate man. A real people person with an obvious love of his country and Porto in particular. The food and wine are excellent and made all the better because Jorge turns everyone into friends.

Local Guides in Porto

By having a local guide point you in the right direction, you’ll be exposed to hidden gems that you wouldn’t have known existed had you been on a regular tour. Your local private guide has grown up in Porto and truly knows the routes and attractions like the back of their hand. It’s the ultimate way to kickstart your trip, as you’ll get the chance to orient yourself around the city for your own navigation and the insider tips that only locals could provide could end up saving you lots of time avoiding areas crowded with tourists or money spent on expensive restaurants when there’s some local alternatives.

In Porto, there are so many hidden gems and treasures to be sought out that it would be a shame to miss out on them. We know that the best insights and advice when traveling in a foreign city always comes from someone that has lived there their whole life. The same way that you may be able to easily list off the best coffee shops of your neighbourhood, a private guide can give you the suggestions you need that are 100% genuine, since they talk from experience!

The local guides are always friendly and welcoming, so you’ll immediately feel at home- even if you just got there. The private tours are very flexible and easily customizable to suit your needs and itinerary. They’ll gather information of your interests and work around that, because who likes a tour that visits attractions you have no interest in? We want your journey to be unforgettable so our private guides strive to make the tour and destination choices as authentic and culturally- attuned as possible. Whether you’d prefer to visit the picturesque natural landscape of parks and beaches or go back in time, visiting museums and historic attractions, the itinerary is completely up to you! In addition to visiting top attractions like the Sao Bento or the Dom Luis bridge, a home cooked meal prepared and shared with your host is one of the best ways to get a true taste of authentic culture in Porto-literally!

Top benefits of having a private local guide

  • Flexibility – you choose the hour, the day, the place.
  • Locals know their city – they were born or lived there for many ears, they know it by heart.
  • You can set your own itinerary – you pick what you’d like to do, everything can be personalized.
  • See hidden attractions – that only locals know about.
  • Get local tips – where to go, what to do, they know it all!
  • Saves time — no waiting for others, like on a regular tour group.
  • Cultural insights – learn more about the local lifestyle
