Porto has a soul and Thiago Costa knows how to reveal it!

5.00Porto has a soul and Thiago Costa knows how to reveal it. With it, what would be a simple tourist tour became a true immersion in the history of this extraordinary city. Thiago’s narrative is accurate, passionate and captivating: every street, every tile, every view over the Douro gained a meaning we would never have discovered on our own. My family is passionate about gastronomy, and the indications from Thiago were impeccable - authentic, secure, and away from the common places for tourists. We ate like portus. If you want to really get to know Porto, Thiago is not just a guide. It's the best companion this city can offer.
Great Walking Tour!

5.00Thiago was very knowledgeable and lively. I enjoyed his energy. The walking tour was lovely, we saw both tourist and local spots - including ending at a local market we would've never found on our own. He had some really great suggestions for places to see, where to eat and other experiences we explored further once our walking tour was over. I recommend his walking tour if you want something more private and personalized, it was really great!

5.00We had such a great time on this private Porto walking tour, and it felt less like a formal tour and more like walking around with a local friend who really knows and loves Porto. The pace was super comfortable, and we got a great mix of things. Thiago adjusted things based on what we were interested in and nothing felt rushed or overly scripted. He also gave us some awesome recommendations for places to explore! If you want an easygoing way to get to know the city a bit deeper, this tour is perfect!
