“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!

“Great day with Joana inDuoro Valley”
We had an outstanding day with Joana touring Douro Valley. Everything was perfectly organised. Joana was engaging and nothing was too much trouble. Her attention to detail was excellent and even extended to giving us several tips on what to do in Porto in our days after the tour. Most enjoyable

Being able to show you and your super lovely family the Douro Valley was wonderful! From visiting a very local place and trying Moscatel wine, to taking in the incredible views that only the Douro Valley has to offer, enjoying a lovely lunch by the river, and finishing with a wine tasting, it was a truly fulfilling day. It was very interesting to hear you mention, throughout the day, the sense of peace you felt. Nature and the countryside really do give us that amazing feeling. Wishing all of you many more wonderful trips around the world. Keep creating those amazing family memories!
