About Tour Guide Magda M.
Hello, I'm Magda and I would be so pleased to host your in my hometown Porto and/or other towns in the Northern Portugal.
I graduated in History of Art at Faculty of Humanities, University of Porto, worked as a teacher, art gallerist, bookseller and finally as a tour guide (and I loved all these previous jobs!).
My tours are focused on Architecture, Art and History, but the charm of Porto goes beyond that: traditions, legends, secrets, food...
My main purpose is to show you what really makes us different and unique.
(sometimes I'm the traveler, taking pictures of my favorite spots - you check the gallery :-)
I'm available and pleased to create the best plan for you, according to your preferences.
Looking forward to meeting you! Best
Important
Please always contact me before booking to check my availability for the schedule chosen. Sometimes I am only available half of the day (morning or afternoon). Thank you.

Porto's Main Sightseeing Spots & Visit Porto Cathedral
Set between the Douro river and the seaside, Porto is an ancient city in northern Portugal, famed for its hilltop "miradouros" (viewpoints), medieval monuments and Unesco-listed historic center. A rich and varied architecture eloquently expresses the cultural values of succeeding periods: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassic and Modern.It's also a magical place with seemingly limitless possibilities when it comes to culture, cuisine and nightlife and a friendly and curious host.

Porto Off the Beaten Path & Visit Bolhão Market
From the renovated Market Bolhão to one of the most intriguing districts of the eastern part of the city: Fontainhas. Come to know the mysteries of Porto: the 19th century romantic garden of São Lázaro, the Fine Arts Faculty ambiance, the little local cafes and grocer's where you'll feel the local vibe. Or the "Street of Islands"! “Islands” are picturesque dwellings from the industrialization period. Time to the opposite: the “villas”, owned by the industrialists. Still the magnificent Douro.

Coimbra World Heritage W/ Visit the University
On the banks of the river Mondego, Coimbra is famous for its prestigious University, located on the top of a hill. Founded in 1290 by King D. Dinis, it is the oldest Portuguese-speaking University and one of the oldest in the world, which over time has shaped its image to become "the city of students". Listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site in 2013, Coimbra offers an outstanding urban typology, with a number of 16th century colleges, a fascinating maze of old streets and a lively downtown.

“Magda is delightful!! Highly recommend!”
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Magda through old Porto. She gave us a terrific overview of the history, architecture and fascinating stories that make the city such a treasure. She was keen to what we hoped to see and checked everything off our list. During the tour, through engaging conversations, Magda stopped along the way to show us special little gems. From pastries to authentic Portuguese shopping experiences and the best spot for a great lunch, Magda had all the answers for us. Magda has a passion for the local and authentic experiences which we greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend. Muito obrigado, Magda! Richard and CJ

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.
