“Wonderful and Memorable Visit to an Amazing City”
Joana A, gave us a tour that will remember for many years. Her expertise in Porto was wonderful. She showed us so many features of this amazing while being very conscious and helpful with our limited physical problems. To top it off when the tour was over she send us an wonderful video of our stay in Porto. We would highly recommend Joana if you are looking for an informative and fun tour of Porto. On our ship we had many tours of many cities and this was by far our favourite. Thank you Joana for being a large part of our wonderful European Cruise. Dale & Barb. Canada

The time we spend discovering Porto was so wonderful and meeting both of you was such a big inspiration. Our day started by picking you up from the Cruise ship and head to Ribeira area, to enjoy the narrow old streets with colorful houses next to the river. The weather and light of the city was perfect to receive you! The rest of the day was to enjoy the charming places, admire beautiful architecture and even drink a Porto wine! Thanks so much for being such an amasing couple, for the personal life tips you gave me and keep on having that great energy! Once again, thanks for picking me as your tour guide. We spend indeed a wonderful day!

“Such a good tour!”
Joanna was an excellent tour guide. She created a tour just based on our interest. She is very thoughtful. Her car is very clean and comfortable. She is very knowledgeable about Porto. I would highly recommend her to anybody interested in a tour of Porto.

Being able to spend the morning with both of you, showing charming Porto was such a delight! From starting the day with a walk next to the beach, feeling the vibe of portuguese lifestyle and then explore the most iconic parts of the city, while adapting to your own interests, was such a great time we spend together, learning more about Porto and Portugal traditions and unique architecture. Thanks againg for being such a great and entusiastic couple about the places we visit and thanks again for chosing me as your tour guide. Have some great holidays and enjoy the rest of Portugal.

“Great day with Joana inDuoro Valley”
We had an outstanding day with Joana touring Douro Valley. Everything was perfectly organised. Joana was engaging and nothing was too much trouble. Her attention to detail was excellent and even extended to giving us several tips on what to do in Porto in our days after the tour. Most enjoyable

Being able to show you and your super lovely family the Douro Valley was wonderful! From visiting a very local place and trying Moscatel wine, to taking in the incredible views that only the Douro Valley has to offer, enjoying a lovely lunch by the river, and finishing with a wine tasting, it was a truly fulfilling day. It was very interesting to hear you mention, throughout the day, the sense of peace you felt. Nature and the countryside really do give us that amazing feeling. Wishing all of you many more wonderful trips around the world. Keep creating those amazing family memories!

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

Pedro C.
Hello! My name is Pedro, a local guide from Guimarães, proudly known as the “Cradle of the Nation.” I’m 30 years old and have been guiding travelers across Porto and Northern Portugal for more than five years. I’m passionate about culture, history, and storytelling, and I love sharing my region’s heritage with visitors from around the world. I am cheerful, energetic, and friendly, always creating a welcoming atmosphere and connecting with my guests. Besides guiding tours, I also provide long-distance transfers and visits to other destinations upon request. As a wine lover and founder of my own company, I specialize in private, comfortable, and authentic experiences. I offer complimentary pickup and drop-off in the Porto area, using premium vehicles such as a Mercedes Class V (7 seats) or BMW Series 5 (4 seats). I organize tours in the Douro Valley, Porto, Aveiro, Costa Nova, Braga, Guimarães, and other regions, including scenic transfers between Porto and Lisbon with optional stops. All experiences are fully customizable to suit your preferences, pace, and travel style. My goal is to make your visit to Portugal memorable, fun, and enriching.

Hello, I'm João. I was born in Coimbra, and I have a degree in Anthropology, and master's degree in Cultural heritage, management and programming. I am a certified guide. I love meeting new people and helping them get to know my country better. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about our culture and traditions, I think my tours are the best choice for you. I work mainly in the city of Coimbra, and around. I am based in Coimbra region, but I am also available for tours in Lisbon, Aveiro, or Porto. I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request. This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it. Thank you!
