Along the way, you will explore some of the city’s most emblematic places while also gaining a deeper understanding of Porto’s character, transformation, and everyday rhythm. The experience is personal, well paced, and shaped by meaningful local context rather than a simple checklist of sights.
At the end of the walk, you will enjoy a relaxed Portuguese tasting with a traditional drink and local petiscos, adding an authentic final touch to the experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour with Thiago! He was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the history and culture of Porto in a clear, engaging, and memorable way. He had great insights into modern life here, and the balance between past and present made the tour even more interesting. I asked a ton of questions throughout the tour, and Thiago answered every one of them with patience, detail, and genuine expertise. He also sent us a great list of recommendations afterward, and the ones we've tried have all been spot-on! This tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip! If you want a fun, informative, and well-rounded introduction to Porto, we highly recommend booking with Thiago! Obrigado!

Tiago was an amazing tour guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and super friendly. The tour was surprisingly affordable for the amount of history and insight we got from him. I really appreciated how he encouraged us to push through to the “finish line.” It was a good reminder not to give up too quickly. We almost didn’t finish the tour—not because of Tiago, but because I made the mistake of booking it on the same day we arrived from the USA. Jet lag hit us hard, but I’m so glad we powered through. It turned out to be a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this tour with Tiago!

From the moment we met Thiago, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. His vibrant energy immediately set the tone for an unforgettable exploration of Porto. While the city's rich history could take days to cover, Thiago masterfully tailored the experience, always ready with insightful answers to our many curious questions—even the most random ones sparked by things we saw along the way. What made the tour special was how he led us off the typical tourist path, into quieter corners and lesser-known spots that made us feel like insiders. He consistently exceeded our expectations, offering not just facts but stories that brought the streets to life. A surprise moment (literally)—getting divebombed by bird poop—wasn't exactly on our itinerary, but Thiago handled it like a pro, pulling out napkins without missing a beat. It was oddly fitting for such a spontaneous and genuine adventure. The way the tour wrapped up (we won’t spoil the surprise!) was incredibly calming and meaningful. It left us with a lasting sense of connection to both the city and its people. Highly recommended for anyone looking for more than just a surface-level tour of Porto.

This walking tour was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Porto! From the very beginning, our guide was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about the city’s history and culture. We explored charming neighborhoods, hidden gems, and iconic landmarks—all brought to life through fascinating stories and local insights that you’d never get from a guidebook. What really stood out was the personal touch—our guide tailored the tour to our interests and made sure everyone felt engaged and welcomed. We even got great recommendations for food, wine, and things to do after the tour. It felt less like a tour and more like discovering the city with a good friend. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto—you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful city and its rich heritage!

Thiago Costa was very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable about buildings, the city, and history. He said he was going to email information to us regarding places to go and see but it has been a couple of days and we have not seen it yet.

The enthusiasm that which we learned history/religion/culture was contagious! We couldn’t recommended Thiago enough and will certainly have our family/friends contact him when in Portugal

Thiago is a FANTASTIC guide. He does this because he loves sharing his knowledge and he loves connecting with people. His passion for the city of Porto and for Portugal is evident and he was able to connect with and share so much with our group of 10 people. We were running a few minutes behind and he was so gracious about it and even stayed past the end time of our tour with us. He also arranged a beautiful surprise spread for us at a local shop and even had a slice of birthday cake for me which was so thoughtful! I highly recommend any of Thiago’s tours and experiences. We did two experiences with him and loved them both. Thank you Thiago!

Thiago was amazing! He had such fun energy and told us great stories and local tips. My friends and I did the 3-hour tour with the wine and snacks and it was the best. I would definitely recommend for a great guide around Porto!
