Awesome afternoon in Porto

My husband and I had a very enjoyable afternoon with Milena. We managed to visit and see all the attractions and sights that we wanted to, and she suited the excursion to our interest. Milena was very informative and engaging; always telling us various funny and entertaining stories about her beloved city. It was definitely an afternoon well-spent in Porto. There was never a second that we were bored. Thank you Milena, for bringing us to see all the awesome places and sights, as well as for the laughter!

Fell Short of Expectations
adt680
, Sep 2019
Very good way to see highlights of the City and have some orientation without walking. Car was comfortable and driver was friendly, enjoyable and accommodating. However, the tour was booked for an English speaking guide. Communication in English with this driver was challenging and consequently the tour fell short of overall expectations.

Porto City Trip
Steven_S
, Aug 2019
This trip gave us a very nice exposure to the city We saw many of the important sites around Porto, which is a great city. Our guide did an excellent job of getting us around and the highlights were seeing the train station and doing some Port tasting. I think we did not see some of the sites I had hoped to see. Our guide was friendly and helpful and nice, but was not as up to date on all the sites we saw as we had hoped.

Great tour for people visiting Porto for the first time and with little time available, like us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and history. The wine tasting was quick but very interesting. More than enough for what we wanted and a very good introduction before the tour of the Douro that we did the next day.

Thomas C

We booked a ½ day tour of Porto from our cruise ship for 9/14/17. Our guide, Andre, was waiting for the 4 of us at the port Leixoes, Portugal. He is a delightful young man. He was very flexible and showed us the sights we were interested in seeing. Our conversations helped direct our tour. Andre is very knowledgeable of the history of Porto and Portugal. He helped us to understand the rivalry between Porto and Lisbon and was able to answer all of our questions. I recommend asking for Andre to be your guide. You'll be in good hands.

Buena voluntad pero falto conocimiento
Guillermo_V

Nos vino a buscar Mike al hotel, fue muy amable y nos llevo por toda la ciudad en coche, bastante tráfico en algunos puntos. Fue muy amable y flexible, incluso hicimos un rato más de lo establecido porque nos llevo a la zona de Foz,que es menos turística, peor le faltaban muchos conocimientos de la ciudad o de historia, cosas que no sabía contestar o otras que nos explico que luego vimos que no eran de tal forma. Lo recomendaría siempre y cuando se hiciera con un guía experto en la ciudad.
