Come to know the mysteries of Porto: the 19th century romantic garden of São Lázaro, the Fine Arts Faculty ambiance, the little local cafes and grocer's where you'll feel the local vibe. Or the "Street of Islands"! “Islands” are picturesque dwellings from the industrialization period. Time to the opposite: the “villas”, owned by the industrialists. Still the magnificent Douro.

Porto Tour Reviews
Elizabeth G.
“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.
Magda M.
Thank you for the opportunity of giving you this tour. I do apologize for the issues that prevented it to run according to your expectations. All the best, Magda

“Exploring Porto”
It was a delight to walk and talk with Magda as she showed us around her extraordinary home city. Porto is a delight and so full of surprises. She customised the walking tour for us and answered all of our questions. We gained a much deeper understanding of Porto and a new friend.

“Off the beaten track - a great day with Magda”
Magda showed us Porto the way a native sees it, with the added benefit of her deep knowledge of local history, architecture and favorite spots. As we got to know each other, she adjusted the tour on the spot to accommodate our interests. We enjoyed her company quite a lot - and now have even more wonderful memories of our visit to Porto.
Magda M.
Dear John and Johanna, thank you very much for your lovely review. I am glad the customized tour filled your expectations. Thank you for your truly interest in Porto's hidden places, its deep charm. I will also remember this tour! All the best, Magda
