It was great learning all the places that inspired the HP series. Carlos was a great guide, explained the relevance to the HP stories but also gave us the historical backgrounds of the places we saw. He was friendly and professional. We would be so lucky to have his as our guide the next time we visit Porto. He took the time to recommend places to see and restaurants to visit that provided the local cuisine.

Carlos gave us a great tour, mixing Porto history and facts with fun Harry Potter stories and sites from JK Rowling living in Porto. It was fun for both adults and our teenager. He also gave us many recommendations of places to visit and eat/drink after our tour. Recommend!
