We had an absolutely fabulous day with Pilar (and special guest Tiago). Pilar was friendly and informative as he showed us the numerous beautiful sights of Porto. We appreciated his educational commentary, and also liked having time to walk around and explore on our own between stops.

I highly recommend booking this tour on your first day in Porto, as the information gained will help you appreciate the city on your own later on.

Our guide Francisco was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and got the tone of the tour just right.
We saw everything in Porto we could have imagined.
He explained each site carefully and encouraged us to ask questions. He suggested other places we could visit beyond the tour too.
And he bought us pastries and water.

Thanks to the attention of our guide Antonio Santos, this tour met our expectations since he demonstrated great preparation and professionalism, in addition to his command of the Spanish language. We started with a walking tour of historical sites, then he took us to the Port wine tasting and we finished with a cruise along the Douro. We highly recommend it for tours in Portugal.

PORTO is truly a tourist city, organized for this purpose, very rich historically and culturally. The feeling of security and tranquility among tourists is incredible - it is possible to be on the streets until 11 pm without worrying, you can walk through the streets of the gastronomic center - very pleasant.!!! Welcoming service providers. Without invasive approaches, there are tours available for all tastes and budgets. The essentials can be done on foot and/or on the hop on hop off bus, to get to know the details up close. Many foreigners walking around, but also in attendance, with a lot of attention and dedication.
