Porto with Withlocals

"I’ve traveled extensively and always avail tye services of local private guides. Mayumi is in the top 0.1% of guides out there. She is extremely knowledgeable, has a great personality, is flexible, very perceptive and a great communicator. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"My partner and I had only a few hours to visit Porto and our tour with Ana was the best way we could have spent our time. Having lived in Porto her whole life, Ana had history, observations, and insights that we never would have learned otherwise. She not only showed us landmarks and important sites, but guided us to a lovely neighborhood bar for a quick break and opportunity to see one of her favorite places. She radiates kindness and a love for her work. We'll never forget our time with Ana - as she made our short visit to Porto a remarkable one! "

"Our family of 5 adults (2 parents and 3 young adult children) from the USA had another fantastic With-Locals experience in Porto, Portugal, with Orlando on the Hidden Gems tour. Honestly, we have had only 10-star tours so far with this tour company, and our latest in Porto did not disappoint. First, Orlando's English was excellent. We never once had any difficulty understanding him or hearing him. This makes the experience so much more pleasant when we are not straining to understand. Orlando spent a lot of time in England, so his vocabulary and usage are incredible; in fact, as Americans we picked up on a slight English accent from his time there, which was really neat! Secondly, Orlando picked a great meeting place and itinerary, and he was punctual and gave us a full, exciting tour. Our areas of interest were history, architecture, and culture, with some port wine expertise thrown in, and Orlando catered well to our interests. He knew so much Porto and Portuguese history. Our previous With Locals tour was in Lisbon where we also learned some history; Orlando's knowledge matched and added to that of the previous tour, which was helpful not only for confirmation of accuracy, but also to aid us in remembering. Third, Orlando gave us a detailed lesson of culture, which included several visits to Porto's churches. It is quite clear that it is impossible to understand Porto's and Portugal's culture without understanding the religion woven through it. Orlando took us into one church where we were able to see the mummified remains of 3 popes. Amazing... and weird, but our group loved it! Now that's something you don't see everyday! Fourth, he knew a lot about the port wine industry, which was useful in picking good wines to sample and transport home. Lastly, at the end of the tour, he pulled out a map that we could keep and marked some highlights that he suggested we see on our own in the following days of our stay. He gave us a wonderful recommendation for a port tour, which we did visit. It was the best port we had tasted in Porto. Overall, our tour with Orlando was one of the highlights of our time there. Orlando was engaging, funny, spoke perfect English, had incredible knowledge, and expressed well his love of Porto and its people. He told stories that made us LOL, took us on a beautiful walk through the city, and showed us how Porto is growing and changing. Even though there were two of us who were feeling under the weather, the whole group loved our time with Orlando. We highly recommend him, this tour, and would book him again in a heartbeat if we return to Porto!"

"Ana was an exceptional and passionate tour guide and host of her hometown, Porto! She is incredibly well versed in the history, culture and food/drink of the city, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Her English is excellent and we never struggled to understand or communicate throughout the 3+ hours we spent with her. She not only took us to key landmarks, but also took us to little nooks, crannies and alleyways of special places and areas that make Porto such a wonderful city. We’d highly recommend her and will call on her again whenever we’re back in Porto. "

"Our tour with Orlando was fantastic. He shared so much about the history of the city and lots of interestic facts and perspectives. He's very knowledgable and seems to genuinely enjoy sharing the history of his beautiful city. Could not have asked for a better tour! "

"This was my first visit to Porto and I was staying for only 2 days. Being a solo traveller and having no sense of direction, booking a tour With Locals seemed a good plan to get the best out of my short stay in the visit. Rosa is a delight; very friendly and knowledgeable about Porto. I spent a lovely day with Rosa which she followed up with a list of recommended restaurants and places we visited. "

"What a great day with an incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and personable guide. I couldn’t recommend him more if you want a thorough history of Porto!"

"Our tour with Andre was the best part of our visit to Porto. He has an impressive knowledge of the town’s history. We walked through the oldest parts of Porto as he pointed out architecture and events that have made the city. André is articulate, knowledgeable, and funny. "

"We took the "Highlights and Hidden Gems of Porto" tour with André. He told us about the long history of Porto in the context of Portugues history. He took us to important place around town (e.g., Igreja do Carmo, Cathedral, several great vantage points). He did a very good job of explaining the different architectural styles of the buildings we walked along. We walked around Porto at a leisurely pace so that we were able to enjoy what we were seeing and to be able to ask questions. By the time we finished we had a better understanding of history but also of the geography of the city. André is very personable, has a good sense of humor, and answered all our questions. We enjoyed our time with him and recommend him as a guide in Porto, "

"My family of three just spent several hours with Rui today, and we loved every second of it. He loved to share stories about his hometown, Porto, and we now have a new friend in Rui. He was so kind and knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and left with so much new knowledge about Porto and the history of Portugal. We also really enjoyed being able to casually chat with a local about what it’s like to live in Porto now, and also what it was like for his parents many years ago. Would highly recommend this experience, and it was an epic day for our family."
