Our Harry Potter-themed tour in Porto with Vinicius was nothing short of magical! It wasn’t just a walk through the inspirations behind J.K. Rowling’s world—it was an eye-opening journey through the history of Porto, Portugal, and the early life of the author herself. What truly set this tour apart was Vinicius's exceptional ability to engage the entire group. Through thoughtful questions and an inviting atmosphere, Vinicius made everyone feel included and sparked insightful discussions. The tour was rich in fascinating facts, full of surprises, and masterfully guided from start to finish. Highly recommended for Potter fans and history lovers alike.
