Awesome afternoon in Porto
synthiah
, Jan 2020
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!

Dear customer,
Thank you in advance for taking your time to review our company.
We're sorry we didn't reach your prospects in relation to the tour.
Regarding the driver/guide, we believe it was a bad day and we will improve at that point.
We regret once again that we didn't meet your expectations.
Thanks a lot!

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.

I knew little about Porto before this trip. The half day tour was a good introduction to the city and its rich history. I recommend it.

Porto City Trip

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.

, Sep 2017
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

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.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
