Excellent in every way

throughly enjoyed our tour. Highly recommend - as long as you are okay with lots of walking and uneven pavement.

Kathia A is a great tour and very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and how the area of Gaia was critical to the development of port wine back in the early days. We enjoyed her presentation and stories.

Porto Orientation Tour

We went on a tour of Porto immediately upon arriving in the city. The guide showed us all the iconic sites, landmarks, viewpoints, and directions, told us many interesting stories, and gave us helpful tips. So, we spent the rest of our days in Porto according to our interests and the information we received, and we were very pleased with our stay.
