Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Víctor was a great guide and did a great job showing us the highlights of Porto. He kept my 10 year old twins engaged and interested. His English is excellent. Would highly recommend him. "
"Francisca was an incredible guide showing us Porto! She was so knowledgeable and amazing with our kids. The tour was extremely interesting and we all learned so much. She also gave us her personal phone number so we could reach out with any questions or needs in the future. I highly recommend this tour in general and Francisca specifically!!"
"Victor was a great guide! He helped to customize our experience with a kid as young as 6 and a grandma in her 70s. We all had a great time and learned so much. Victor had so much information to share and his passion for Porto shone through."
"We just got home from two weeks in Portugal. Traveling from Porto to Nazare to Algarve to Lisbon...throughout our journeys we had some tours. I am writing to say hands down, Victor's Porto/Harry Potter tour was the BEST!!! my teenage daughters loved it and myself and my wife loved how he took his time to interact with the kids and to also give a great detailed history of Portugal/Porto during the tour. The girls were tired as it was our second day in Portugal and the hills of Porto had gotten to them the day before, but Victor kept it simple walking along a more even path with only a slight hill at the end. Getting us tickets to bypass the lines at the bookstore was perfect, and then the Pastel de Nata he had us try was to me the best in all of Portugal and I had a lot of thm in two weeks..."

"Victor was a great tour guide. We passed several other large group tours but loved that we had a private/personalized tour. Victor seemed very knowledgeable about the city architecture, history, and the Harry Potter tidbits. My 15 and 12 yo enjoyed it as well. It is a lot of walking but we’ve been walking for days now and have gotten used to the terrain. Highly recommend! "
"We really enjoyed our Porto tour with Carlos. He kept our 12 & 10 year old's very well entertained with both Harry Potter stories as well as an education on the local food, handicrafts and culture."
"Easy going, fun and extremely knowledgeable ! Sights that were out of the ordinary along with the main tourist need to see. We liked her a lot!!"
"Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica en Oporto gracias a Francisca, una guía cercana, apasionada y con gran conocimiento de la ciudad. Nos llevó a descubrir su historia, arquitectura y curiosidades, adaptando el recorrido a nuestros hijos sin dejar de ofrecernos información interesante y actual. Fue muy generosa con sus recomendaciones y nos mostró tiendas y rincones originales para comprar productos locales El día del tour coincidía con el cumpleaños de mi marido y, a pesar de que era fiesta nacional, Francisca se encargó de organizar todo: desde reservar dos restaurantes preciosos (uno junto al río y otro en el centro de la ciudad) hasta sorprendernos con una pequeña tarta para celebrar en familia. Fue un gesto precioso que convirtió ese día en algo realmente especial. ¡Gracias por todo!"
"We went on the Harry Potter tour with Victor and it was perfect! One of us is a Harry Potter fan and the other has only seen one movie. Victor amazingly wove in the ways and sites that may have inspired the author while also sharing history and information about Porto. It was truly the perfect mix and gave a genuine feel for Porto !! We enjoyed our time with Victor as he was easily relatable, thoughtful in mapping out the tour and overall just a great person! We would definitely go on another tour with Victor!"
"My family and I enjoyed our Harry Potter- themed tour of Porto. He not only provided Harry Potter insights related to surrounding landmarks, but very interesting facts about Porto and Portugal’s history. 10/10. Book your tour with Victor today!"
