Vasco was our driver. He arrived promptly ahead of our meeting time right outside the cruise terminal. After we greeted him, he asked what we wanted to see and shared his thoughts too. He was an excellent driver and took us to many top sites. We appreciated his conversation and sense of humor. His background knowledge was extensive since he grew up in Porto. I highly recommend this tour!!!

We made a wonderful city trip with Gisela Almeida in Porto. She is a very safe driver and has a beautiful voice with which she gives captivating and clear explanations about everything that can be seen in Porto and the surrounding region. Gisela is very sympathetic, can talk about everything and even sing along. Moreover, she is always on time. We felt super good with her and safe in the busy city. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Porto! Big thanks, Gisela!

They worked with us to craft the perfect day for our family, from 7 to 70 years old, it was amazing. Our guide, Joao was outstanding, super knowledgeable, fun, great to tour with and willing to make all our crazy ideas work that helped keep the kids and parents happy. He bent over backwards and knew all the good places. We saw old town Porto, the river, and Lello. Porto was enchanting, the private transportation was a nice well air conditioned van.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute best experience with our tour guide Joao in Porto! He was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and full of knowledge about the town’s history, culture, and hidden gems. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and gave us such a warm and personal look at Porto. Every stop on the tour felt special he clearly knows and loves this city, and that passion made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Porto and want an insightful, enjoyable, and genuinely memorable tour, look no further. Highly recommended!
