This tour was a highlight of our trip to Porto. We are still talking about it a month later. Our guide, Vinicius aka Vinny was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate. He showed us some beautiful, unique and important sights of Porto that also had Harry Potter significance. It suits all ages. Be sure to book your ticket for the Livaria Lello (via their website) for the end of the tour. Enjoy!

The tour meeting place was easy to find. Our tour guide, Gregório, was very knowledgeable and shared many facts and stories about the history of places we visited and Portugal in general. He had a great sense of humour and was pleasant to be with. It was a nice surprise to be treated to a tasting at the end of the walk.

We had a great time, the places we went to were very welcoming and we learned about the food and wine from very passionate people. Gabriel was great and a few card tricks at the end along with the amazing stewed apple in a converted church was a great end to the night. Highly recommend

Amazing. Gregorie took us all over to places we never would have found and gave us great advice for places to go later in the day.

Greg did a great job! He knows a lot about Porto and could answer any question :) It was a great time!
