Magda M.
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

Joao M.
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!

Ricardo M.
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

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.

Porto Tour Reviews

“A nice tour ”
This was a great experience overall. I think more communication before hand would have made it even better. The guide was late arriving and we were waiting and i communicated our location in WhatsApp but did not get a response. We started late and did not get those extra 10 Minutes back, she ended right on time despite starting late. For one of the locations she opted not to go in with us - even though it was a guided visit. We felt it was silly to use this time we paid for on something we could have done on our own later. The most frustrating piece was the Bishop's Palace was closed at the time we arrived. When we pay for a private guide I would expect them to check and confirm timings of our visit. Overall we learned a lot and enjoyed it but these small things impacted our experience. Magda knew a lot and showed us a book depicting different tiles which helped us understand the history better.

“Absolutely amazing and unforgettable ”
Joana was absolutely the best tour guide that we have ever had. She made the experience so special and tailored the entire tour to our specific needs. She made us feel comfortable from the moment that we met her, and even from the communication that we had before the tour. I would recommend Joana to all of my friends and family for any tour around Porto. I highly recommend Joana for your next experience whatever your needs may be. Thank you, Joana for the amazing immensely memorable time that you provided for myself in my family.

Your kind words mean the world to me. For me was a very special day, as not only i was able to show you Porto city highlights and also some local places, but also being able to share interesting conversations about Portugal curiosities, compared to other countries! Was a true privileged to spend the day with such fun and relaxed family, that made the day totally perfect! I believe the highlight was our lunch, with typical portuguese food and a good cold Super Bock beer, where we could enjoy what life is all about, caring people around us, so many laughts and listen to your parents wise life advices. They were the best and so funny! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide. I believe some people come to our life, as family that live in another country. All the best to all of you.
