Porto is one of the oldest cities in Portugal and the one that gave name to our country (and the famous wine). Located on the banks of the Douro River, its historical area was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996.
Porto became an economic power during the Age of Discoveries, between the XV and the XVII centuries. Prince Henry the Navigator, the father of the Discoveries, was born here and the city became one of the largest shipyards of Portugal. In the early XVIII century, the Douro Valley was established as a famous wine region and it played a important role in the development of the city.

Monica was wonderful
She did not give us a traditional tour but showed us little secrets that she knew and catered the tour to just what we wanted. After the tour she sent me a list of stores to go to and restaurants we may be interested in

wanted to see as much as possible during our visit. This was the GREATEST tour possible to do that Felipe provided the best walking tour we have ever experienced. It was informative, interesting, and much more than expected. i loved the stories, the locations history and especially for picture taking. No matter if you have a day or a week in Porto, this should be your number one first thing to do. If you can, ask for Felipe, he is GREAT.

Caiomihn was fabulous ! He is originally from Ireland and we loved his accent. He has lived in Porto for ~ ten years and knew Portuguese history like the back of his hand. It was pouring rain and windy during the tour and he still made it worth our while. I would love to do it again with proper weather. He has a great sense of humor and answered all questions eloquently. Clearly not a rehearsed script. He went out of his way to accommodate our need. Could not recommend more highly. Bravo!
