“Absolutely amazing tour of Porto with Joana”
If you’re looking for a fantastic tour guide, you can stop now. Just book Joana and you will have an amazing experience. Joana was prompt in all her email replies and designed the itinerary based on what we wanted - visit Lello bookshop, savour Portuguese tarts, buy vintage port and see all the iconic sights in Porto. Unfortunately our boat was 1.5 hours late to disembark due to a malfunctioning gangway. I was frantically texting Joana and she remained calm and reassuring. Despite waiting so long for us at the terminal, she still very generously gave us the full 5 hour tour, moved our Lello bookshop tickets entry time and rejigged our entire itinerary. We tasted the best Portuguese tarts, still warm from the oven, sampled port wine and purchased an excellent bottle, and toured all over Porto while she filled us with history, culture and amusing anecdotes. She also showed us some beautiful spots not on any tourist agenda. My whole family loved the day we spent with Joana, from the moment she picked us up, surprised us with a lovely picnic basket filled with drinks, snacks and really thoughtful souvenir gifts. And finally, the next day, she sent us a video she put together of al the places we had visited with her. Thank you, Joana, for sharing your beautiful city with us!
Joana A.
Dear May, your super kind words just fill my heart! From my side was a true pleasure to be able to show Porto to you and your beautiful and inspiring family, with such cool energy during all day! The afternoon went so fast, we explore, we laugh, we walk a bit to get the city athmosphere. But, most important of all, is that you enjoyed your time and take good memories: by the new places you saw, new country visited, new tastes like the Pastel de Nata and drinking the real Porto Wine in Porto! I love a quote that says that "when people meet, they take a bit of us and leave a bit of them", and that was the exact feeling that I got after meeting your sweet and kind family! Wishing you all the best & great travels around the globe.. and thanks again for picking me as your tour guide! Joana
“A Fantastic Journey into Lisbon's World War II Espionage Scene”
We spent two fascinating hours with Marisa on her Spy Tour, walking the streets of Lisbon to see the historic meeting places and hotels of some of the city's most famous World War II spies. Marisa is so knowledgeable and an entertaining storyteller. We learned all about Agent Garbo and "Duško" Popov and the inspiration behind Ian Fleming's James Bond character. Marisa also gave us great insight into the atmosphere of Lisbon during the war, and how Salazar, Portugal's then dictator, navigated the tricky waters of neutrality. Marisa's expertise and enthusiasm for the topic shone. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Lisbon's World War II history and in the history of wartime espionage. Thanks, Marisa!

Thank you Susanne and Chad. I loved every minute!!!
