Amazing Porto tour with Carlos

Diana_N, Jul 2025

Carlos was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide for Porto. He took us to local places that were unique and not where all the tourists go. Carlos was very personable and made our tour very special.

Great introduction to Porto.

Jeff_H, May 2022

Our walking tour with Sara was delightful. She was very informative, and did indeed take us places we would not have found on our own. She recommended an excellent place for dinner. She also does food and wine tours, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations.
