“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.

“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.

Joana A.
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!
