“From ship to airport, a wonderful tour.”
We were leaving a river tour at 9am and needed a tour of Porto to fill 4 hours. After reviewing comments on her tour we chose Joana A, and what a great tour she made for us. My wife has mobility issues, and Joana adapted the tour in her car to suit her disability with drop offs very close to each special site around Porto, including so many photo opportunities, a very unique coffee shop, a special restaurant for lunch, and finally took us to the airport in time for our flight. Nothing was too much for Joana. If you have time after the normal river trip up the Douro. I cannot recommend enough a tour around Porto with Joana A. When we arrived home in UK she had even sent us photos of each of the sites we visited with us in shot and a fully compiled video. What a fabulous tour.

The time we spent in Porto exploring the city with you and Eira was absolutly incredible. With just few hours we were able to see all the iconic places and unique views of the city, drink a Porto wine, eat a pastel de nata, have lunch at a typical restaurant and even have great conversations and many laughts! Was a true blessing being able to show my city while the sun was coming out! Keep that amasing energy and Wishing you great travels around the world. Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide!

“Joana is the whole package!”
Joana truly is the whole package. After picking us up at our hotel, she proficiently drove us around Porto in a comfortable vehicle, in which she provided us with water and snacks-and even a special little gift. She was very focused on us and our interests. She was able to park in various locations in order for us to get out to walk and visit areas of interest. We both have mobility issues, and she was very patient and creative in helping us to find ways to see what we wanted to see despite our inability to walk to it in the normal way. Joana took pictures of us in front of so many beautiful sites to remind us of our time in Porto. She also put a video together for us. She even took us to a pastry shop and made reservations for us for lunch. As a final treat, she poured us each some port and had us toast each other in front of the “Porto” sign as a special picture memory. I would highly and definitely recommend Joana as your tour guide if you don’t want to miss the best of Porto and want a fun and informative guide along the way!

Our tour in Porto was full of places to visit and explore, not losing the hidden local streets with the daily life! The day was incredible, with an amasing sun, so we could see the colorful houses and see the city at its best. We were all creative in terms of the best way to overcome the mobility limitations, yet, we saw all the main places and was great being able to know both of you better with a toast with Porto wine and a Pastel de Nata pastry. Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide, as it was a true pleasure to be able to show you charming Porto.

“Exceptional Guide!”
I spent the most delightful day in Porto with Joana! If you are looking for a real pro she is the one. Unfortunately due to illness my husband was unable to accompany me... Joana was flexible with timing and was the best sidekick I could have asked for in Porto. Besides being so delightful to be with, Joana is, as she states PASSIONATE about her country and so knowledgeable about every charming street and site we visited. Joana took photos and videos of our tour to share with my husband so he did not feel like he missed anything (except meeting her in person). I loved learning about her family and world travels which certainly added to the personal nature of this tour. My only wish is that I could have booked more destinations with this wonderful woman!

Our day discovering Porto was indeed an amasing day. From the moment i picked you up at the Boat Terminal, time passed so fast, and we were able to explore all the main city locations and had such fun conversation, while eating a warm Pastel de Nata or just spending some time shopping portuguese porcelain! Was a girls day, and i did my best to compensate the fact your husband could not join us, that was really a pitty! Was honestly a day with a friend, as we were able to enjoy the city and its culture, while we travelled to other destinations by sharing travelling stories. Was such a special day with Gale, an easy going spirit and always with positive energy towards the day! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide, was a true pleasure for me to show you Porto.

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

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.
