Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul. I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader. My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty. Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know. If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs - this is exectly where you will find it.

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.

Joao M.
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!

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.

I'm Pedro. I've been a tour guide in Porto and Douro since 2015, crafting city tours and wine tours! I consider myself a "Wine nerd". I love weird statistics about wine and have attended Portuguese wine tasting courses. My goal is to have a sommelier certification by the end of 2024. I have a strong link to the region and like to be on top of all details and latest news of the wine community! I'm a father of two, I enjoy meeting people and have lots of stories to tell!
Porto Tour Reviews
Gale L.
“Exceptional Guide!”
I spent the most delightful day in Porto with Joana! If you are looking for a real pro she is the one. Unfortunately due to illness my husband was unable to accompany me... Joana was flexible with timing and was the best sidekick I could have asked for in Porto. Besides being so delightful to be with, Joana is, as she states PASSIONATE about her country and so knowledgeable about every charming street and site we visited. Joana took photos and videos of our tour to share with my husband so he did not feel like he missed anything (except meeting her in person). I loved learning about her family and world travels which certainly added to the personal nature of this tour. My only wish is that I could have booked more destinations with this wonderful woman!

Our day discovering Porto was indeed an amasing day. From the moment i picked you up at the Boat Terminal, time passed so fast, and we were able to explore all the main city locations and had such fun conversation, while eating a warm Pastel de Nata or just spending some time shopping portuguese porcelain! Was a girls day, and i did my best to compensate the fact your husband could not join us, that was really a pitty! Was honestly a day with a friend, as we were able to enjoy the city and its culture, while we travelled to other destinations by sharing travelling stories. Was such a special day with Gale, an easy going spirit and always with positive energy towards the day! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide, was a true pleasure for me to show you Porto.

“Exploring Porto with a Pro!”
Our private tour with Joana A, thru GoWithGuide was an experience of a lifetime. We had specific sites we wanted to see and Joana took us to each, provided plenty of time to explore and also provided outstanding commentary to accompany each locale. Her personal touch along with our exchange of travel stories with her made this a super memorable event. We now consider her one of our extended family and hope that we will meet again someday. If you're interested in Porto, done with a local, and experience it with a truly remarkable guide then ask for Joana! You will be greatly rewarded.

Being able to be your tour guide was a true blessing and also for me was a memorable day. Was just like showing the city to family members, with a true inspiring story! We were able to check the famous places of the city, learn some funny stories of hidden places of Porto and enjoy the unique Francesinha with a glass of fresh vinho Verde. The sun, the colours of the houses and our little morning walk next to the beach, were the perfect ingredients to our day full of laughs and incredible memories. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to be your tour guide and truely hope our paths cross again! Great trips and wishing both of you the best in the world.

“Magda is delightful!! Highly recommend!”
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Magda through old Porto. She gave us a terrific overview of the history, architecture and fascinating stories that make the city such a treasure. She was keen to what we hoped to see and checked everything off our list. During the tour, through engaging conversations, Magda stopped along the way to show us special little gems. From pastries to authentic Portuguese shopping experiences and the best spot for a great lunch, Magda had all the answers for us. Magda has a passion for the local and authentic experiences which we greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend. Muito obrigado, Magda! Richard and CJ
