Hello! My name is Joana, and I'm passionate about travelling. I've been to around 70 countries and lived on three Continents, but there is nothing like showing my own country, which I love, and sharing secret places and curiosities of a city! Come and explore Portugal with me. It will be fun, relaxed, and insightful! Be ready for a memorable experience with an easygoing person who will respect your own pace!

“Exploring Porto with a Pro!”
Our private tour with Joana A, thru GoWithGuide was an experience of a lifetime. We had specific sites we wanted to see and Joana took us to each, provided plenty of time to explore and also provided outstanding commentary to accompany each locale. Her personal touch along with our exchange of travel stories with her made this a super memorable event. We now consider her one of our extended family and hope that we will meet again someday. If you're interested in Porto, done with a local, and experience it with a truly remarkable guide then ask for Joana! You will be greatly rewarded.

Being able to be your tour guide was a true blessing and also for me was a memorable day. Was just like showing the city to family members, with a true inspiring story! We were able to check the famous places of the city, learn some funny stories of hidden places of Porto and enjoy the unique Francesinha with a glass of fresh vinho Verde. The sun, the colours of the houses and our little morning walk next to the beach, were the perfect ingredients to our day full of laughs and incredible memories. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to be your tour guide and truely hope our paths cross again! Great trips and wishing both of you the best in the world.

“Day Douro with Joana”
Joana was very personable and flexible. You knew you were with a well travelled Portugal loving citizen. Car was well equipped, she had snacks, etc. Lunch was fantastic and the Port Winery we visited was a good choice. The location is a long distance, but it didn't feel rushed. With her connections you can probably do even more personal things with people she knows along the way. She made a custom video to remember the day.

Patti and Loel, thanks so much for such kind words and was such an incredible day discovering Douro Valley, with its unique vineayard terraces that you enjoyed, specially the narrow ones! We spent our day surronded by beautiful landscapes, vineyards by the river, with conversations about Portugal, USA and Africa and how incredible was your life story! Was indeed a day to remember! Wishing you great travels around the world and keep doing an incredible job that is changing lives. Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide and all the best!

“Best experience we could have asked for ”
Joanna was the best tour guide we could have asked for on our trip to the Douro valley. She was thoughtful, prepared and knowledgeable. We loved getting to know her life story in and outside of Portugal and her view of the Portuguese culture. She called and confirmed reservations and let restaurants knew if we were running late. At the end she felt like a friend not a guide and we look forward to our paths crossing again!

Being able to be your tour guide in Douro Valley was amasing! The day started with our drive towards Douro, and with such nice conversations about our lives and also about the differences & similarities of our countries, the long drive time passed by very quickly. It's so nice when you are able to share your knowledge and learn from others at the same time. Then, we explore the region in a relaxed way, yet making the most of your day, between typical villages, wine tastings, view points and some laughs along the way. Was indeed a very special day in an unique location and totally felt like showing my country to some friends! Also, hope our paths cross again and wishing great trips around the world. Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide!
