“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!

“Porto trip ”
Joana A was a terrific guide for our family of 10. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. She anticipated our needs and kept everyone involved. She goes above and beyond. Since our group went from ages 4 to 80 that was truly exceptionable. The four days with her made the experience in Porto truly memorable. I would highly recommend Joana if your are visiting Porto.

Being able to show Porto and around to you and your amasing family of 10 during 4 days was a true honor. Since the moment I picked you all from the airport and being such a cool and friendly family, I knew we would have a great time exploring Portugal! Specially Porto city highlights, doing a Pic Nic in Bom Jesus de Braga, experimenting portuguese slow life with a lunch by the beach, experience an adventure jeep tour in the mountains and just being able to share our food, culture, lifestyle, beautiful places and buildings that are part of our history. Being able to see your smiles along these days, and the great conversations we had, made these days very special for me. Thanks so much for picking me as your tour guide and being part of your family trip, was such an incredible experience.

“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.
