“Rui’s knowledge of Porto is impressive! I learned so much about this beautiful city! Rui was flexible and we skipped some spots I had already explored on my own. Rui is personable and kind. It was fun to walk with him. We walked at a leisurely pace. The walk ended at a beautiful spot overlooking the River and Porto! There I enjoyed Portwine and Cheese while Rui stayed a little while and explained the history of Portwine. I’m glad I booked the tour. It was well worth the cost.”

“Our guide Sofia was the best thing about this tour- former architect, she had a lot of interesting background to share, especially on the Oporto side. She is cute as a button and her English is great. She answered lots of questions with a smile. We are disappointed in the tour because we paid more than a typical walking tour to include a 15 minute boat trip on the Duoro. This is very misleading advertising because they only plan a water taxi, not a boat tour. Unfortunately for us, the water taxi was not running. Instead of switching to one of the many boat tours available, we just reversed course…”
