About Tour Guide Alessia P.
Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul.
I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader.
My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty.
Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know.
If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs -
this is exectly where you will find it.
