The guide didn't show up and we stood in the pouring rain waiting. No one answered the contact phone number. Not very professional and very disappointing.

This was such a great experience! We had Miguel as our guide, such an authentic kind person with great conversation. Highly recommend!
The tour was really nice! Alejandro was easy going, very knowledgeable and friendly. We walked around 2 hours and a half but I never got tired, despite porto being so hilly, it was really well planned. I fully recommend it
The experience was spectacular; we explored Porto's most iconic landmarks in a very enjoyable way and had no worries whatsoever. We noticed that the guide was quite experienced and tailored certain points of interest to our personal preferences. The tour lasted approximately 3 hours, but it basically depends on your interest and the time of year you go, as it might be very busy. The experience is quite personalized.
This tour was very good. I loved the mix of the famous spots and some hidden places I wouldn't have found on my own. It was very well organized and the guide was great and really knew their stuff. Thanks for the awesome recommendation
Everything was amazing, the guy is so nice and knows so many things about the city, its culture, history, hidden places. Definitely it’s an experience I want to revisit the next time I go back.
The tour was very nice. The guide was very friendly. We started at the cathedral and went around the whole city center. We visited both the must-see touristic spots and also some hidden gems around the city center. I learned a lot about the city, it's history and the stories behind the most popular spots in Porto. We were craving ice cream along the way so the tour guide accommodated us by bringing us to the best ice cream place in Porto!
A fun walking tour around Porto’s historical sites. Our tour guide, Alejandro, knew an impressive amount about all the history and key events behind each location, giving us a plethora of information and allowing us to take a fun detour for ice cream — a lovely experience!
The walking tour was truly amazing! We had a chance to explore the city centre starting with the Porto Cathedral, after which we made our way through the St. Ana Arch and onto Avenida dos Aliados. Alejandro showed us the best views in Porto and shared the most interesting facts about the history of the city. I highly recommend doing this tour when in Porto!
Alejandro was the best guide! He gave us many historical, geographical and random facts. The length was around 2 hours but it flew by so quickly. The group wasnt big so the atmosphere was very friendly and there was space to talk and ask questions. Overall Alejandro made the experience amazing and made us learn so much about Porto. I would recommend it to anyone!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this guided tour! It was truly a beautiful and well-organized tour, and we enjoyed every moment of it. Alejandro explained the history of the city in such a clear and engaging way, making everything easy to understand and really interesting. We learned so many fascinating details that we would have never discovered on our own. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly, approachable, and full of positive energy. Alejandro made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his kindness and sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
The walking tour was such a personalized experience. Our guide took the time to explain each important spot in a simple and clear way, giving us plenty of time to ask questions and soak it all in. The atmosphere was really friendly and enjoyable, making the whole tour a highlight of my visit!

The tour is awesome! Alejandro as a guide is really nice, funny and prepared. He answered all our questions and told us a lot of interesting stories about the city. I highly recommend this tour!!
Alejandro’s tour was excellent, we walked for about 2 hours and a half and stopped to see churches and buildings, we saw amazing places and he told us many fun facts about the city. He was great with us, very entertaining and fun! Kudos to him!!
Amazing experience discovering the oldest neighborhoods of Porto! For 2 hrs our guide gave us the opportunity to dive into Porto and Portugal history, where I was surprised by how little I knew about this city and how important it was to the history and development of this country. We walked from the Se cathedral, passing through the medieval streets that led us to the cais in front of the Douro and then we went up one of the beautiful streets of the city to the iconic Clérigos tower! I especially thank Alejo for his patience in answering all my questions (of which there were several) and for giving me an unforgettable experience. Totally recommend!!! Thanks to him I fall in love with this city!!!
Great experience! The free walking tour of Porto was an amazing way to discover the city's history and secrets. The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. I loved learning about places and stories I didn't know about the city. Highly recommended for any visitor to Porto!
I loved the tour; it was very comprehensive and provided lots of information about the history of Porto and Portugal. I highly recommend it.
I loved the tour! Alejandro was incredibly accurate, kind and engaging in all his explanations. The experience takes you through non-touristy spots and strikes the perfect balance between architectural and cultural insights, but adds fun little anecdotes about the city. Highly recommended!
The guy was Knowledgeble, funny and easy going. I definitely recommend him. He took us to some interesting places, answered all of our questions diligently so you can tell the guy knows stuff
The tour with Alejandro was extremely interesting and engaging, and never boring. He has a deep knowledge of the heart of Porto and guided us through both famous spots and more unusual corners of the city, sharing fascinating stories along the way. His English is excellent, and he is a very friendly and professional guide. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto who wants a meaningful cultural experience and a real connection with the city !
It was very informative and fun, a great balance of history, culture, and local insights. We got to learn about beautiful landmarks and hidden corners of the city, which made it easy to appreciate Porto’s unique charm and atmosphere.
It was really fun. We weren’t crowded which made me feel like I was in a special tour. Our guide gave us interesting informations and he answered our every question. We really enjoyed it.
The experience was lovely around 2 hours and a bit with all the stops, stories and joking around. We visited the old town of Porto and discovered some hidden gems, also very interesting specifics about the people living in the city trough the history. Totally recommend to do with friends if you feel like time traveling in real life.
Alejandro was very kind and informative. He knew real local hidden gems. Thank you for showing me around 😃😁😁
