“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!

“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.

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
