“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.

“Wine tasting in the Duoro Valley”
Joana is an excellent tour guide. I told her the wineries in the Duoro Valley that I would like to visit and she proceeded to make all of the arrangements. She is very professional, organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Driving around the Dupro Valley with Joana made for a very enjoyable day. In addition to the above, Joana chose a local restaurant where we had a lovely lunch. If I ever come back to this area in the future, I will definitely hire Joana again to be my tour guide and I will tell my friends to do the same.

Being able to show you Douro Valley and its hidden gems was a true delight for me. With great conversations about Portugal history, Douro Valley heritage and your great tips about life experience, was an amasing day with so many highlights! Being able to do wine tastings in unique places, understand the type of wines that are more for your palate and enjoy a great meal in a local restaurant, were the best way to go outside Porto and get immersed by Douro Valley natural beauty, surrounded by nature, water and beautiful vineyards! Thanks for your great energy during the day and always keep that incredible positive atitude towards life! Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide and wishing you amasing trips around the world. All the best to you and your beautiful family!

“Joana is absolutely perfect!!”
Joana picked us up from our hotel on schedule and was a delight from our initial meeting. She was very knowledgeable about the city and the specific things we did. I made a list of things to do and she made sure that we checked ALL THE BOXES!!! She was perfect for me and my daughter. I think our special moment was when we saw the PORTO sign, she had packed a picnic basket with Port wine and glasses so we could salute at the sign. If you want a tour guide that is specific to your desires, Joana is the one. We had her for 8 hours and as a tour guide, she only took us to some places and my daughter and I entered them without her and she waited patiently until we were done. I wanted to pay for her to enter those places too. She felt like a friend more than a tour guide. If you select her, you will NOT be sorry. Joana is the very best!

Our day exploring Porto was a true delight! So fun and relaxed, that there was time to explore the main places of the city, like Ribeira, Palácio de Cristal, Torre dos Clérigos, Mercado do Bolhão, Capela das Almas, Avenida dos Aliados... and also, we enjoyed a relaxed Boat ride along Douro River, visit Livraria Lello and it's amasing athmosphere, did a Wine Tasting & Tour in a Porto Wine Cellars, eat the famous Pastel de Natal and yet there was time for shoe shopping, and time to find some roasted coffee to bring home! Also we had moments of laughter, sharing interesting life stories and that's what i call a perfect day! Being able to show you and your daughter beautiful charming Porto was amasing and thanks again for choosing me to be your tour guide. Wishing you a great rest of birthday celebration trip in Portugal and keep celebrating life with that positive energy! All the best to both of you!
