Informative & Engaging!

Emanuel_M, Nov 2025

We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour with Thiago! He was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the history and culture of Porto in a clear, engaging, and memorable way. He had great insights into modern life here, and the balance between past and present made the tour even more interesting. I asked a ton of questions throughout the tour, and Thiago answered every one of them with patience, detail, and genuine expertise. He also sent us a great list of recommendations afterward, and the ones we've tried have all been spot-on! This tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip! If you want a fun, informative, and well-rounded introduction to Porto, we highly recommend booking with Thiago! Obrigado!

Great tour….Thiago is amazing!!!

Thank you so much, Mary! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour and our time together in Porto. It was a true pleasure to share the city with you. Wishing you all the best in your travels, and you’ll always be welcome back here!

A great way to experience Porto!

From the moment we met Thiago, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. His vibrant energy immediately set the tone for an unforgettable exploration of Porto. While the city's rich history could take days to cover, Thiago masterfully tailored the experience, always ready with insightful answers to our many curious questions—even the most random ones sparked by things we saw along the way. What made the tour special was how he led us off the typical tourist path, into quieter corners and lesser-known spots that made us feel like insiders. He consistently exceeded our expectations, offering not just facts but stories that brought the streets to life. A surprise moment (literally)—getting divebombed by bird poop—wasn't exactly on our itinerary, but Thiago handled it like a pro, pulling out napkins without missing a beat. It was oddly fitting for such a spontaneous and genuine adventure. The way the tour wrapped up (we won’t spoil the surprise!) was incredibly calming and meaningful. It left us with a lasting sense of connection to both the city and its people. Highly recommended for anyone looking for more than just a surface-level tour of Porto.

A Must-Do Experience in Porto!

Marissa_L, May 2025

This walking tour was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Porto! From the very beginning, our guide was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about the city’s history and culture. We explored charming neighborhoods, hidden gems, and iconic landmarks—all brought to life through fascinating stories and local insights that you’d never get from a guidebook. What really stood out was the personal touch—our guide tailored the tour to our interests and made sure everyone felt engaged and welcomed. We even got great recommendations for food, wine, and things to do after the tour. It felt less like a tour and more like discovering the city with a good friend. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto—you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful city and its rich heritage!

Thank you so much, Marissa! I’m really glad the tour was a highlight of your trip and that you enjoyed Porto’s stories and hidden gems. You’re always welcome back!

Frank_Z, Apr 2025

Thiago Costa was very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable about buildings, the city, and history. He said he was going to email information to us regarding places to go and see but it has been a couple of days and we have not seen it yet.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Frank, Thank you for your kind words about the tour. I’m very glad you enjoyed the experience. Regarding the information I promised: I sent the email via Viator on April 16, and I’m truly sorry it didn’t reach you. Sometimes the platform’s messages end up in the spam folder or get delayed. If you haven’t received it, I’ll be happy to resend it directly. Thank you again for joining the tour. Best regards, Thiago Costa

Great tour

Rebecca_F, Apr 2025

Guide was super flexible in accommodating our unique schedule. Great tour of Porto! Interesting commentary and very knowledgeable. Porto is very hilly so be prepared for walking up/down hills.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much, Rebecca! I’m glad we could adjust the tour to your schedule and that you enjoyed discovering Porto’s history and charm. It was a pleasure guiding you, and you’ll always be welcome back!

Thiago was a wonderful...

Linda_G, Dec 2024

Thiago was a wonderful guide. He has wonderful stories, a great sense of humor. We felt we saw a good cross section of Porto on our tour. He was able to give us historical information on religion, architecture, and key important sites in Porto. He also gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see in Porto and Matosinhos. We had an opportunity to do a wine and Port tasting at the end of our tour. The tasting room was affiliated with a small wine sho selling local wine and port. Would highly recommend Thiago Lindy and Peter Lone Tree . Colorado

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much, Lindy and Peter! I’m really happy you enjoyed exploring Porto’s history, culture, and flavors with me. It was a true pleasure to share stories, recommendations, and the tasting at the end of the tour. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot, you’ll always be welcome back in Porto!

Impressive Tour! Don’t hesitate.

cmivers, Jul 2024

Look no further THIS tour is the one! Thialgo was flexible when we begin 15 minutes later due to a delay, incredibly informative and engaging! Great personality and tailored the tour to our needs. Can’t wait to return and join him for another tour with our children. We recommended him already to a friend who had an equally impressive experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure tailoring the experience to your needs. Looking forward to welcoming you and your children next time! And thank you again for the recommendation!
