“Wine tasting in the Duoro Valley”
Joana is an excellent tour guide. I told her the wineries in the Duoro Valley that I would like to visit and she proceeded to make all of the arrangements. She is very professional, organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Driving around the Dupro Valley with Joana made for a very enjoyable day. In addition to the above, Joana chose a local restaurant where we had a lovely lunch. If I ever come back to this area in the future, I will definitely hire Joana again to be my tour guide and I will tell my friends to do the same.

Being able to show you Douro Valley and its hidden gems was a true delight for me. With great conversations about Portugal history, Douro Valley heritage and your great tips about life experience, was an amasing day with so many highlights! Being able to do wine tastings in unique places, understand the type of wines that are more for your palate and enjoy a great meal in a local restaurant, were the best way to go outside Porto and get immersed by Douro Valley natural beauty, surrounded by nature, water and beautiful vineyards! Thanks for your great energy during the day and always keep that incredible positive atitude towards life! Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide and wishing you amasing trips around the world. All the best to you and your beautiful family!

“Joana is absolutely perfect!!”
Joana picked us up from our hotel on schedule and was a delight from our initial meeting. She was very knowledgeable about the city and the specific things we did. I made a list of things to do and she made sure that we checked ALL THE BOXES!!! She was perfect for me and my daughter. I think our special moment was when we saw the PORTO sign, she had packed a picnic basket with Port wine and glasses so we could salute at the sign. If you want a tour guide that is specific to your desires, Joana is the one. We had her for 8 hours and as a tour guide, she only took us to some places and my daughter and I entered them without her and she waited patiently until we were done. I wanted to pay for her to enter those places too. She felt like a friend more than a tour guide. If you select her, you will NOT be sorry. Joana is the very best!

Our day exploring Porto was a true delight! So fun and relaxed, that there was time to explore the main places of the city, like Ribeira, Palácio de Cristal, Torre dos Clérigos, Mercado do Bolhão, Capela das Almas, Avenida dos Aliados... and also, we enjoyed a relaxed Boat ride along Douro River, visit Livraria Lello and it's amasing athmosphere, did a Wine Tasting & Tour in a Porto Wine Cellars, eat the famous Pastel de Natal and yet there was time for shoe shopping, and time to find some roasted coffee to bring home! Also we had moments of laughter, sharing interesting life stories and that's what i call a perfect day! Being able to show you and your daughter beautiful charming Porto was amasing and thanks again for choosing me to be your tour guide. Wishing you a great rest of birthday celebration trip in Portugal and keep celebrating life with that positive energy! All the best to both of you!

“grateful for Joana, she is amazing! ”
Joanna….. Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of Porto in such a thoughtful and unforgettable way. The picnic basket with Porto wine was such a special touch, and the video truly made the experience even more memorable. As you know, my Mom has symptoms of alzheimers so I will always show it to her so she will always remember our family trip. Porto is even more beautiful because of people like you—passionate, warm, and incredibly attentive. We’re grateful for everything you did to make our visit so meaningful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!

There are days and people that stay in our heart and meeting your incredible genuine, kind and elegant family was a true blessing. Our time discovering Porto was amasing, from visiting the main city highlights, like Ribeira, the famous Bridge Luis I, Lello bookshop, Clérigos Towers, Bolhão Market, Souls Chapel with the famous blue tiles, Magesfic Café, São Bento train station and many other places like special local stores full of history, made the time passes really fast! But being with your family felt like showing the city to some friends, so i would truely like to thank you for choosing me as your tour guide. Was such a memorable time for me. Safe travels back home, and hope the world is small and we meet again!

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

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!
