Best guide in Porto

The guide was excellent; the tour was well-balanced, informative, and interactive. The guide effortlessly conveyed the most important points, helping us learn about the country’s history and understand the city; he provided a lot of useful practical information and was entertaining. His English was excellent, the speed was just perfect, and he took care of all the tour participants’ needs. We absolutely reccomend Diogo for everyone!

Great and fun tour of Porto!

The tour was very well organized, it lasted 2.5h and it touched upon many interesting points of the city. The guide was funny and he managed to involve everyone in his tales. As a personal opinion, the only suggestion I would have for the guide is maybe to construct the discourse with a better flow. Sometimes it was hard to follow because he was starting the story with a topic and then connect others without giving a glimpse of the whole point. But other than that the content was super interesting and we had a great time!
