It is an excellent way to understand the layout and history of the city. We were extremely impressed with the knowledge of our guide. Arthur seemed to know everything about the city's history and the sights. He was a fountain of information and sincerely enjoyed sharing it. He communicated well, was patient, and very courteous.
Our tour guide Arthur was exceptional. He really knew the history well and gave great recommendations. Thanks again!
Great tour! Artur is very knowledgeable, and covers an incredible amount of history in just over 2 hours. The tour is a great way to see almost all of the main sights in the city, and it was way more convenient than planning a sight-seeing list ourselves and constantly taking out our phones for Google maps. Artur also plans in photo opportunities and a bathroom break.
Great and fun experience. Artur was a fabulous guide, distilling thousands of years of history into a digestible, interesting and fun tour. Thank you :)

Guide is studying to be a history major and knows his stuff! He lived in the US so he speaks very good English. Answered all of my questions. Wonderful experience. (Also saw a lot of street cats and that's always a plus)
The walking tour was great. Artur had great recommendations and gave us a good overview of porto and it’s history.
Artur was polished and very knowledgeable. Having done many tours in Porto this stood out as the best. He wasn’t just a script, rather he is a historian so could answer questions with additional detail. He also took us along a nice route rather than just stick only to crowded main streets. 5 star plus! Thank you!

Great and educacional experiencie! A wonderful tour through the history of the port. Getting to know a city looking at its monuments with someone who can guide you through the history of the city changes the whole experience of visiting a place. Arthur is an excellent guide, sensitive to the needs of the group and communicative
Arthur showed us many secrets with knowledge and humour. We enjoyed the tour very much! The tour takes about 2 hours and includes light walking.
Very good, Arthur is vey knowledgeable! I recommend!
Simply the best guided experience I have ever had. Artur had a perfect handle of our small group. It was like watching a live history documentary, making every cent of the admission fee worth it. The tour took 2.5hrs, and it was excellently paced, despite there being elderly and baby strollers in our small group. Best for ANYONE who seriously wants to dive deep into history and culture while keeping a light atmosphere.
The Porto Masterclass was fantastic! The price is fair for the length of the tour. It took just over two hours, and our guide made ir feel easy. The balance between knowledge and balance were perfect. Artur made our small group feel like long time friends. Best at the start of your visit.
Artur was a great tour guide - both Informative and entertaining. The tour was well thought out and saw a variety of sites. Would recommend.
The tour started and ended on time. Artur gave a good recommendation of all the places to visit in Porto and his story telling made the entire tour very fun. He has good comic timing which made the history very engaging. I’ll definitely recommend.
Great walking tour with Artur, pointed out the best spots in the city and gave some interesting insights into the history as well.
Very insightful and knowledgeable on the history and traditions of Porto. Excellent advice on what to do, and where to go, and not! Particularly when to get an authentic Porto dining experience and what to pay, and not! Very good.
Very informative tour detailing Porto and Portugal's history
The tour was GREAT. Our guide Artur was very knowledgeable. He gave detailed explanations and historical background of every Porto landmark. He also walked us through strategic streets with marvelous views for pictures and walks that were retired from the tourist mobs. On top of everything, he was prepared with a top-5 recommendations to do after the tour, plus a Google Maps guide with food and activity recommendations around Porto. He also speaks Portuguese and Spanish. 11/10!
Very informative and a good laugh.
A fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide! Very highly recommended.
