About Tour Guide Joao M.
My name is João, a native son of Porto.
I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 5 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history.
After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management and mechatronics engineering, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!)
That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. )
My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, landmarks, vistas & viewpoints, photography, Port wine tasting.
After being a tourism guide for 5 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. I hope to meet in Porto soon!
Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :)
I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto!

Morning - Porto off the beaten path Sidecar Tour
“Great way to see and learn about the city!”
Went on a morning tour and had a great time! Our guide for the morning, Pacio, was friendly and informative and we learned a lot about the city. We booked the tour early in the week, so we were able to follow up on some of his many suggestions for where to go and what to do. There were a lot of nice sights and plenty of photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour!

“A must do tour. See Porto from a different perspective ”
For me this is a must to do while in Porto. Joao our driver and guide is so proud and passionate about his city. He took us through its history while transporting us around. Many stops for photos and explanations of the city's past and culture. We travelled through the cobbled back streets taking in the views from the motorbike and sidecar. Stunning! We ended the tour in the old fishing village with views out to sea. Joao's recommendation for lunch was spot on! It's set us up for the rest of our stay in Porto. We now have a list of what to visit and what not to. Excellent tour! Well done Joao for producing such a novel and fascinating tour!!
