Very good

Kathryn_S, Oct 2024
Loved the wine tasting. The view from Gaia was beautiful. Glad to see mouth of river at the ocean. Would have liked to have gone into the cathedral.

Nice orientation tour of Porto

MongLee_S, May 2024
The driver / guide was very kind and considerate and patient. The vehicle was large enough and comfortable. It was a useful tour to get an idea of the town, its layout and the tourist attractions. The pricing of the tour was also reasonable. Tour is good for first timers in Porto

Fantastic local guide

James_L, Jun 2023
Paul was a fantastic tour guide. Being a local, we got the real deal on Porto learning about even some of his childhood experiences. We look forward to hopefully meeting him again next time we visit.

Great tour with just a small group...

Catherine W, Jun 2017
Great tour with just a small group people. Knowledgeable guide and worked around the crowds..when we found lots of coaches at the Cathedral we went and viewed the Station wgich was stunning, then returned to Cathedral where the crowds dissapated . Port tour and tastings interesting and the treat was we ended at that famous Bookshop!!

Donnadale S, Sep 2016
We were the only English speaking people on the trip. Our guide did a good job of accommodating the situation. Unfortunately, the pick up instructions was confusing, and our guide jumped off the bus, with others, and forgot that we were still on the bus. The itinerary could be much improved. Clients need to be informed about any difficult walking sites.

Guide very knowledgable but had...

Linda C, Sep 2016
Guide very knowledgable but had bilingual group scheduled as English only so each description took twice as long therefore lots of downtime between. We did not see or go by some places listed on the itinerary. The port wine tour was excellent @ Grahams.

Our guide/driver, Bernardo Bernie...

C Anne M L, Oct 2015
Our guide/driver, Bernardo Bernie, just drove us by the sites. We wouldn't have gone down to appreciate the different spots and take pictures if we hadn't asked him to stop. We almost didn't see Sao Bento Railway Station, we weren't able to go to Lello Bookstore, and we didn't stop at Clerigos Tower and Church. We felt a bit short-changed. The redeeming aspect of the tour is the wine tasting at Graham's and Duoro River cruise.

This was a great tour for helping us...

Mia M, Aug 2015
This was a great tour for helping us get acquainted with Porto at the very beginning of our visit.

With Pedro through Porto

Walter_W, Mar 2026
Pedro our guide was a smooth Portuguese and had the group very well with him. It is a pity that when confirming the booking of the tour suddenly the option Dutch-speaking guide and starting time changed. The tour was given in English but some Portuguese took part and explanations were also given in Portuguese so the rest of the group had to wait.

Visite de Porto sous le signe de la convivialité

Maud_L, Apr 2022
Nous avons fait une visite historique avec Nuno, un guide très sympathique, qui parlait bien français. Nous avons bien apprécié le fait de se déplacer en van, ce qui nous a permit de voir des coins de Porto plus excentrés, comme certains ponts par exemple. Nous avons également très apprécié la délicate attention de Nuno de nous faire écouter des morceaux de Fado pendant la visite.

Response from Host, May 2022

Bonjour de Livingtours, Nous voudrions remercir votre comentaire sur notre tour avec Nuno Nous sommes trés content de savoir que tout c´etait trés bien passé. Cordialement Équipe Livingtours

Grard_W, Oct 2016
Très déçus. Notre guide André ne maîtrisait pas franchement le français. Commentaires fournis très succincts. Aucun commentaire lors des déplacements pour se rendre aux 4 sites à visiter, même lorsque l'on passait devant des monuments de la ville!! Seule satisfaction : EXCELLENTE et très intéressante visite des caves Graham's très bon accueil, excellent guide, belle dégustation, lieu superbe

Excursion à faire absolument lors...

romainvdh, Apr 2016
Excursion à faire absolument lors d'un séjour à Porto. Notre guide était tout simplement génial ! Si vous faites cette excursion, demandez Yorick comme guide.
