Our second walk with Harold this week and we couldn’t be happier! His is an amazing guide and brings the city to life with information, stories and history. Once again we left the tour feeling so in touch with the city - this time the Old Town & Ribeira! Fantastic walking tour - highly recommend and hope you are lucky enough to get Harold as your guide.

Interesting and informative guide was fun and knowlegeable. I was a bit disappointed that despite booking and printing our tickets, my name could not be found…

A wonderful surprise!

Yenny_L, May 2025

I had no expectations given it was a free walking tour but I was in for a wonderful surprise. Our guide Adriano is very intuitive and knowledgeable, with a sense of humour too. His storytelling of the history was casual and easily understood and absorbed. He also shared fun facts along the way and took time to share recommendations on food, places to visit etc.
