“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.

“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!

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

Alessia P.
Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul. I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader. My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty. Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know. If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs - this is exectly where you will find it.
