    The tour was wonderful, not only informative but humorous storytelling. Walking through Porto was an amazing experience and the tour guide was fantastic, he didn’t rush us, nor was he slow in the tour or showing us the sights. It was the perfect balance. And a great touch with their own map of sights/recommendations provided at the end.

    The walking tour was excellent. Pedro was our guide and he did an amazing job. He knew his history, kept the energy level high, made sure all the tour members could hear and were not left behind. He had great stories and anecdotes. The walking tour includes a lot of hills, and he insured the pace was safe for everyone. His English was excellent, and was able to easily converse and answer questions and provide additional information.

    This is the way a person should start a tour of Porto to get a feel of what they would want to see on their own at a later time on their trip. Jose gave us ideas by staying where things were located and the best time to go. He also gave us personal recommendations for restaurants. Price was good. Jose made sure he answered people’s questions on the tour.

    Gregorio gave us an amazing tour of Porto! He knows the city well and since we were the only ones signed up for the day, we got a little private tour. He was so good that my 73 year old father wanted to continue and do the whole tour even though we had mentioned maybe only wanting to participate for half the time. He was very knowledgeable and I am glad I did this early on in our trip so that we have a better idea of what we want to see and do. Thank you, Gregorio!

    Our historical tour around Porto was excellent. Our guide was very friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable about Portuguese history. He was able to explain topics very well considering most of us tourists are new to the subject. Recommend to anyone who wants to dig a little deeper during their vacation and take home some knowledge.

    Amazing tour of the historic district of Porto. The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. A great way to spend the morning and well worth the money. The walking was uphill for a good portion however we had ample breaks and did not feel rushed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of this beautiful city.
