About Tour Guide Joana A.

“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.

“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.
