“Joana is the whole package!”
Joana truly is the whole package. After picking us up at our hotel, she proficiently drove us around Porto in a comfortable vehicle, in which she provided us with water and snacks-and even a special little gift. She was very focused on us and our interests. She was able to park in various locations in order for us to get out to walk and visit areas of interest. We both have mobility issues, and she was very patient and creative in helping us to find ways to see what we wanted to see despite our inability to walk to it in the normal way. Joana took pictures of us in front of so many beautiful sites to remind us of our time in Porto. She also put a video together for us. She even took us to a pastry shop and made reservations for us for lunch. As a final treat, she poured us each some port and had us toast each other in front of the “Porto” sign as a special picture memory. I would highly and definitely recommend Joana as your tour guide if you don’t want to miss the best of Porto and want a fun and informative guide along the way!

“Private tour”
Our driver Carlos was a pleasant and VERY informative gentleman. His knowledge and passion for the region was amazing. We never felt rushed and he always took his time to show us more "off the beaten path" locations. Highly recommend! Thank you.

“A fantastic day at Sintra”
Alexandra V arranged a day for my family exactly as we wanted. She listened to our needs which is very important, and her communications were quick, helpful and always polite. I won’t post any photos with this review as there are many, many Sintra pics online. I absolutely recommend Alexandra V for your specialised tour needs. We are very grateful for what was achieved.
