“Best tour guide ever!!”
I can honestly say that Joana is the best tour guide I have ever had. I have been taking a big trip 1 to 2 times a year for the last 14 years. And in almost every city I go to, I go on some sort of a tour and this was the best tour experience I ever had. Joana is the nicest, most thoughtful person I have ever met while traveling. She worked very hard to make sure she was taking us to locations that we would genuinely be interested in. I absolutely loved her from the moment we met. Her kindness and thoughtfulness was just amazing and I feel like I have made a new friend!

I believe somedays everything is aligned and you meet people that could be your family from another country! And being able to show my country, the fun stories of Porto while meeting special people, that is the biggest blessing I could have! Thanks for your super kind words, and for the fact that the time with you and your daughter passed so quickly! Hope the world is small and our paths cross again! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide.

“Wonderful and Memorable Visit to an Amazing City”
Joana A, gave us a tour that will remember for many years. Her expertise in Porto was wonderful. She showed us so many features of this amazing while being very conscious and helpful with our limited physical problems. To top it off when the tour was over she send us an wonderful video of our stay in Porto. We would highly recommend Joana if you are looking for an informative and fun tour of Porto. On our ship we had many tours of many cities and this was by far our favourite. Thank you Joana for being a large part of our wonderful European Cruise. Dale & Barb. Canada

The time we spend discovering Porto was so wonderful and meeting both of you was such a big inspiration. Our day started by picking you up from the Cruise ship and head to Ribeira area, to enjoy the narrow old streets with colorful houses next to the river. The weather and light of the city was perfect to receive you! The rest of the day was to enjoy the charming places, admire beautiful architecture and even drink a Porto wine! Thanks so much for being such an amasing couple, for the personal life tips you gave me and keep on having that great energy! Once again, thanks for picking me as your tour guide. We spend indeed a wonderful day!

Thanks againg for being such a great and entusiastic couple about the places we visit and thanks again for chosing me as your tour guide. Have some great holidays and enjoy the rest of Portugal.
