Renato was an fabulous tour guide. He not only showed us so much of Porto but also included great history about the history of Portugal, which was great! We had a excellent time and would recommend his tour services to all of our friends traveling to Porto. Doing the walking tour was such a great way to get to know the city when we first arrived. He also went out of his way to give us some great recommendations for the rest of our time in the city. Overall fantastic. Would recommend 10/10!

Fabulous Guide and Tour

Julie_L, May 2026

If you enjoy historical context with entertaining stories, Renato is your guide. We saw highlights of Porto, and learned about Portugal’s history through his passion, flair and humor. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour and most highly recommend.

Response from Host, May 2026

It’s fantastic to hear that your group had such a great time! We're so glad his "flair" for storytelling helped you connect with the highlights of Porto in a meaningful way. Thank you so much for the high recommendation, it means the world to us. We hope to see you back in Portugal for more stories soon!

Theresa_W, Oct 2023

Renato was a really great guide. Our family of 3 had a lot of fun. Renato is proud of his Portuguese heritage and was full of historical & cultural knowledge. He even sent us a list of Porto recommendations. The bottled waters on a very hot day were appreciated. Book with Renato, you won’t be disappointed.

Best tour of Porto!

David_B, May 2023

My wife and I had the most fabulous tour with Renato! I did a lot of research and talked with several different tour operators and this is the one we went with. It may not have as many reviews, but don't let that deter you. Renato has more degrees than my wife and I have together. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Portugal and especially the Porto region. We walked all over the city and learned so much about the area, the culture and the history. We have done a lot of tours in Europe and Asia and I have never had a tour where I have learned so much! At the end of the tour he sent us a list of recommendations for restaurants, bars, museums and other things to do. We basically used that list as our guide for the rest of our time in Porto. If you want to learn more about Porto, its amazing history and what to do there, don't even hesitate and just sign up for this tour. you will not regret it!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words David, it's because of this feedbacks that we keep working everyday. It was fabulous to do the tour for you both! I hope to have the pleasure of guiding you again in the future! Wish you all the best guys! Renato

Fantástico Tour no Porto

Fabio_L, Jul 2024

Uma aula da história de Portugal e do Porto, num roteiro muito nem pensado e com locais de muita importância para quem quer conhecer o melhor da cidade. Renato foi atento, solicito e entregou mais do que havíamos combinado, um guia de verdade.
