Great information - Natalie was spectacular and so helpful. I wish I would have found her sooner. I literally showed up for a tour and she took me on as a client 10 minutes before the tour began.

Highly Engaging Experience! - Diogo was highly engaging and very well versed in Portugal’s history. We found ourselves mesmerized, at times, by his storytelling, especially when he interwove a personal story into the narrative. Wonderful experience!

Awesome Andre - Andre was brilliant, full of energy, huge knowledge and he was a brilliant story teller. This was the best way to start a Porto trip as we got a feel for the whole city, seeing the major sights and getting tips for other things to do. Only wish we had time to do the two other walking tours that they run.
