    Historical city walk in the center of Porto We met our guide Tiago, who was very friendly, passionate, born and raised in the city and had a great knowledge of everything there is to know! We got a 2.5 hour tour around where we were described big and small! I would recommend everyone to take this trip☺️

    Great walking tour! We were looking for something that did not include the stop in the cellars since we had already visited a couple and that was on foot. This tour met our expectations and even surpassed them! Giulia, our Italian guide, accompanied us on a fascinating journey showing us not only the main attractions (without dwelling too much), but also the more local and less touristy things. I highly recommend!

    Tiago is very knowledgeable about Porto and Portugal and he is generous with his knowledge. The meeting point guidance indicates that the guide will be wearing blue or carrying a blue umbrella. Apparently, that’s out of date. It would be useful to update the info because there are a lot of tours coming and going from the meeting point.
