A great experience of Porto guided by Olivier

It was a very relaxed tour with Olivier as our guide and he was very informed on the history of the people and the places we were seeing. We also had curated games that he built into the experience and this made it more exciting. I would definitely recommend 👌🏾

We learned some new facts...

We learned some new facts on the walking tour that we had not heard before, enjoyed the cable car and river cruise. The Library was beautiful although quite crowded.

A Great Way to Learn and Enjoy

This was one of the best Walking tours we’ve had the pleasure of doing over the last 2 weeks. Our guide, Scotch, was informative, fun and funny and paced the tour very well. He shared a wealth of information and was always available to answer questions. The tour sites were all fun, the company was good and the activities were physically easy. Highly recommend this tour and, specifically, Scotch as your guide

Historical centre and Gaia region

My guide was Joana, a very proud Portuense woman who did the tour in Spanish. Joana was very polite, gentle and nice, telling us stories that go beyond what the internet shows. I strongly recommend her and this tour.
