Our guide was Melissa. She was personable and sweet. We got a nice overview and some recommendations for further adventures. Our main issue was that aside from the meeting point we had no idea who we were looking for and nearly missed out tour, standing 20 feet away.

Excellent on every level! Our guide was from Porto and his knowledge and passion for his city shone through. It was a nice small group of 6 so we could all hear and see everything being pointed out. We learned not just about Porto but also the history of Portugal, the food, music, and all sorts. Very unscripted and entertaining. We saw lots of other tours going on - big groups with ear pieces, groups on segways, in tuc tucs and we are in no doubt we made the right decision to go with our tour. We would thoroughly recommend it.

My wife and I absolutely LOVED this walking tour! For starters, it was a small group of people so we could actually hear what our guide had to say without standing all the way at the back. We had the most informative, witty and charming guide named Pedro Sousa leading us through the medieval streets of Porto. He is a passionate local and was able to give us so much engaging information about the history of Porto, all the way back from the Celts to modern times. The walk itself is very well-paced, and you will definitely get a great sense for the streets and major landmarks of the city without feeling too tired at the end. We really appreciated all the extra tidbits Pedro would throw in about the cuisine and traditions of Porto. I learned SO MUCH more about this beautiful city than I expected going into the tour, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Porto.
