Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal and Morocco inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture, led me to organize tours and trips. Me and my team (guides) put our heart and soul into each experience. As a result, taking travellers beyond the destination, away from the usual touristic hustle. With this we have been leading Private Tours in Portugal and Morocco for over 7 years.

Olá! Hi! I’m Izzy! Thanks for coming to my page and hopefully soon, Porto! Originally from Lisbon, I moved to Porto in 98 to get my college degree in Biology. So quickly I fell in love with this city, its people, its food and wine - Porto is the homeland of the famous Port Wine and Francesinha, one of the best sandwiches in the world - its rich diverse history and world-renowned cultural treasures that I have been living here since then. After University, I lived in Paris for one year, where I got a graduate degree in Image, Communication and Protocol - communicating with people is my passion – and I have been working in Tourism and Hospitality for the past years. Traveling is all about exploring and understanding the place you visit, its people, history, culture and heritage diversity, as well as experience their traditions and gastronomy. Only this way you’ll be able to make unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. As your guide, I´ll show you the city of Porto beyond the standard and conventional tourist-made itineraries, with all the well-known highlights, on tailor-made experiences, often along unexpected routes. Whether it’s a Walking Tour through Medieval Porto, a Culinary Tasting at Porto’s most iconic restaurants, or a Guided Tour in the North of Portugal, for small groups, couples, families, students, business professionals or solo travellers, anything is possible. Just choose from one or more of my predesignated tour options or contact me and I will create the best itinerary based on your interests and needs! See you soon!

Olá from Porto! My name is Marta and I'm born and raised in this magnificent city, homeland of the famous Port Wine and of Francesinha (one of the best sandwiches in the world)! I work in the tourism industry since I was a teenager, in 2007 I became a certified guide and I've been sharing our culture since then. I'm passionate about history, art and a good story! As a true Portuguese I also love food, unexpected flavors and to share them at a table, while we chat about life! I'm specialized in private or small group tours and I try to make of all my tours a discovery moment for the guests, with a taste of everyday life. In the end, it's all about the memories you take home with you. Besides historical and gastronomical walking tours in Porto, I also guide tours in the North of Portugal, like the Douro Valley (my favorite!), Braga and Guimarães, so I can help you arrange any type of vehicle to take us to these amazing places. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Porto!

In the United Kingdom, I graduated in Information Systems and returned to Porto to get a Master's degree in Management. During my degree in the United Kingdom, I made friends with students from various corners of the world: Italians, Germans, French, Senegalese, Thais, Malawians, Turks, Poles, Czechs, etc., also living in students accommodations in the university campus, where the kitchens were shared, one of the things that gave me greater pleasure, was to share our different gastronomies, besides, each one love to mention what can best be discovered in each country and in their native cities, without forgetting soccer preferences! At the same time, I got a part-time job on the weekends at the Holiday Inn Hotel, to help with my expenses. There where I worked nights in the bar and restaurant. Here, once again, I shared and heard stories from the four corners of the world from my colleagues and guests. Then, on my return to Portugal and after taken a Master degree in Business Management at FEP (Faculty of Economics of Porto), I started working 9 hours a day in an accounting office making business and financial plans. Tired and seeing that this would not be a future for me, I decided to create my own business in the tourism sector and in an area that has always attracted me, the travel sector. That's how I decided to open a travel agency initially specializing in incoming tourism, more specifically on sightseeing tours and later in outgoing tourism. As I felt I needed more knowledge in the area, I enrolled in the course of certified tourism driver of the Escola de Turismo do Porto. This was an intensive 350-hour course of study in local guiding and domestic and international tours directing. I received my SNATTI (National Union for Tourist Guides) membership certificate on May December 20,2020, and it has been a blessing ever since. I have a Portuguese Class B Driver’s License and I also have a First Aid Certificate.

I was born and raised in Porto and my hometown remains my passion. I’m one of the locals but I’m also a qualified, accredited and insured guide. I write the walks myself, making every public Porto walk and private tour unique. This means you get a personal and passionate delivery. If I have to choose a subject I would say that my preferences are architecture, history, Port Wine and the Douro Valley.
