Hello, I'm Magda and I would be so pleased to host your in my hometown Porto and/or other towns in the Northern Portugal. I graduated in History of Art at Faculty of Humanities, University of Porto, worked as a teacher, art gallerist, bookseller and finally as a tour guide (and I loved all these previous jobs!). My tours are focused on Architecture, Art and History, but the charm of Porto goes beyond that: traditions, legends, secrets, food... My main purpose is to show you what really makes us different and unique. (sometimes I'm the traveler, taking pictures of my favorite spots - you check the gallery :-) I'm available and pleased to create the best plan for you, according to your preferences. Looking forward to meeting you! Best

Hello, I'm João. I was born in Coimbra, and I have a degree in Anthropology, and master's degree in Cultural heritage, management and programming. I am a certified guide. I love meeting new people and helping them get to know my country better. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about our culture and traditions, I think my tours are the best choice for you. I work mainly in the city of Coimbra, and around. I am based in Coimbra region, but I am also available for tours in Lisbon, Aveiro, or Porto. I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request. This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it. Thank you!

My name is Ricardo and I was born and raised in Porto City. Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even this year 2021 with pandemic work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living your life. Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!! Hope to see you soon. Cheers !!! Ricardo

Olá! Hi! I’m Izzy! Thank you for stopping by! Hopefully Porto is next on your list! Originally from Lisbon, I moved to Porto in 1998 to study Biology. I even tried life in a research lab, but quickly realised that working with microscopes 24/7 meant missing something essential: people. And I’m definitely a people person. So I followed another passion - Fashion - which took me to Paris for a year to study Image, Communication and Protocol in Politics & Business. While working in this field, I was invited to organise and accompany private tours around Portugal. And just like that, I found my true calling! Although I divide my time between Porto and Lisbon, Porto is the city I chose as home (for more than half my life now). Its character, history, food, wine and beautifully complicated soul make it impossible not to fall in love. This is why my tours are not about memorised dates or scripted speeches. They are storytelling experiences: with a deep knowledge of Portuguese history and culture (and a family that lived on both sides of the dictatorship) I bring history to life through real stories, hidden layers, and the kind of insights you won’t find in guidebooks. You won’t hear historical myths repeated just because they sound good, or be dragged into tourist traps disguised as “must-sees”. And you definitely won’t get a superficial version of Porto. If you enjoy discovering the heart of a place - not just ticking boxes - then we’ll get along perfectly. And if you're comparing prices, I’ll leave you with Warren Buffett’s timeless wisdom: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Hope to meet you soon in Porto! Izzy

My name is João, a native son of Porto. I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 5 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history. After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management and mechatronics engineering, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!) That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. ) My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, landmarks, vistas & viewpoints, photography, Port wine tasting. After being a tourism guide for 5 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. I hope to meet in Porto soon! Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :) I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto!

I'm from Porto and very enthusiastic and passionate about my city's history, sights, curiosities and hidden gems. Portugal is an old country with a long history that can be explored through it's monuments, churches and little side streets, and I look forward to showing everyone its beauty and secrets!

Ralfe F.
Welcome to Northern Portugal! My name is Ralfe. I was born in Amarante in 1991. My entire childhood was spent in this small but beautiful town, where I lived with my parents. My maternal grandparents were from the Douro Valley, so I have a great connection with this beautiful region, of which I am very proud. The Douro valley is the most famous wine region in Portugal. With vineyards on both banks of the Douro river, here the so appetizing and tasty Port wine is produced. From an early age, I began to explore my country and discover places of incredible beauty. In 2019 I started working as a tour guide, falling in love with sharing all the knowledge I've acquired so far. My goal is to create friendly relationships with everyone I visit and have the pleasure of meeting. These relationships are based on transparency, simplicity and trust. I prioritize sharing experiences so that all the experiences I organize are more enriching. I feel like a host in my own country, and I am available to personalize my tours according to your preferences.

“Rias Baixas and Santiago de Compostela”
We were picked up in Porto by our driver Luciano and headed to Santiago. Along the way we stopped in Valenca and Tui, had a wonderful lunch in Cambados and the Rias Baixas area then ended up in Santiago. Luciano was very personable, punctual, safe, and knowledgeable. He was flexible with our schedule as we slightly changed our plans along the way and how much time we spent. This was very much appreciated. And Raquel was outstanding as well working with me to schedule the trip and recommending several stops along the way. An overall excellent experience with both Luciano and Raquel. I will use GoWith again.

“Great day with Joana inDuoro Valley”
We had an outstanding day with Joana touring Douro Valley. Everything was perfectly organised. Joana was engaging and nothing was too much trouble. Her attention to detail was excellent and even extended to giving us several tips on what to do in Porto in our days after the tour. Most enjoyable

Being able to show you and your super lovely family the Douro Valley was wonderful! From visiting a very local place and trying Moscatel wine, to taking in the incredible views that only the Douro Valley has to offer, enjoying a lovely lunch by the river, and finishing with a wine tasting, it was a truly fulfilling day. It was very interesting to hear you mention, throughout the day, the sense of peace you felt. Nature and the countryside really do give us that amazing feeling. Wishing all of you many more wonderful trips around the world. Keep creating those amazing family memories!
