Wonderful tour! Our guide Joao was phenomenal. We walked through the main attractions at Porto (note: you don’t go inside the sites since this is only a 3hr tour). The pace was really nice, and the storytelling of our guide was spot-on. We decided to end the tour with the picnic option and walked to the Jardim das Virtudes (highly recommend if it’s not raining). Plus, after the tour they give you an extensive list of sites, restaurants and foods to check out during your visit.

very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. A good length of time to see the sites and was a fun experience.

Very convenient for transportation facilities provided & great saving with discount for museum/ tourist spots entry
