Our guide was very knowledgable and kind in showing us around. We had difficulty finding where to meet her.
Highly worthwhile tour of scenic Porto to gain appreciation of its history and architecture. Tiago was both knowledgeable and charming.
Excellent in every way! Great introduction and way to get to know Porto and its surroundings. From there you can plan what do you want to explore or do next while you stay in the city. Our tour guide was the best! They even took us to a bakery to taste the official pastry of Portugal, Pastel de Nata. The tour guide was so professional and seemed to know so much about history. I loved this tour!
