03/12/2025Pedro was a wonderful host and guide. He brought the history of Porto to life through terrific, animated story telling. Although it rained during our entire tour, it was still terrific as Pedro kept us engaged with interesting stories, explaining architectural features, and pointing out many things we would have otherwise missed. Having a tour by a local helped us appreciate Porto and it's people all the more. And the incredible picnic lunch at the end of the tour was amazing!! A great experience all round. Thank you, Pedro!!

03/12/2025Our guide Pedro was amazing! He is incredibly knowledgeable and catered the tour to the interests of our group. It was a great way to see the highlights of the city and hear about Porto’s deep history. The box at the end was so cute (and delicious) and also came with a bottle of wine. A great way to try local options! Thanks again.

03/12/2025Our guide, Pedro, is a very engaging storyteller. He went through the history of Porto and Portugal in a captivating and often entertaining way. We saw parts of the city and had details pointed out that you would never have noticed as a tourist. The final picnic box lived up to our (high) expectations.

03/12/2025We didn’t have time to study much about Porto before our trip. So taking this tour on the first day morning was very helpful to give us a quick view of the magic City. It is a tour packed with a lot of fun facts about Porto. Some parts were a little hard to follow but it was ok. We covered a lot of places and it was a bit physically demanding for myself, but my husband thought it was a breeze. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. You would not have much time to take photos at each place. But what we did was to revisit most of the places the next day at our own pace. The picnic basket we got at the end was delicious. We took it to the park across river for sunset. We also got a lot of good recommendations for restaurants and shops. Recommend.

03/12/2025My fiancé and I really enjoyed the tour. It was a wonderful way to learn about Porto while visiting for a week. Pedro, our guide, was had a good pace while giving us insight into the city culture and history. A great way to start a vacation! My fiance thought it was boarder line too much walking and I thought it was a perfectly fine amount of walking. After all it is a walking tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know more about Porto and doesnt mind walking 4 miles in three hours.

03/12/2025Wow, we were so impressed and genuinely happy after this tour. Having been on many walking tours it was wonderful to have Pedro change our whole stance on just how amazing they could be. His deep love of the city shone through in his anecdotes and descriptive stories as he led us through city with a casual excellence. Often he would tell us of a mystery or something that was yet to be explained which led to excitement and whole hearted interest as we waited to hear what he would reveal to us about it later on! The three hours flew by due to the passion not only for the city but for the love of his work as well! Thank you Pedro!!! We cannot recommend this tour enough, we’ve fallen in love with this city from your voice! We also really enjoyed the picnic after which we ate in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal ☺️
