    Incredible Experience very Accommodating!

    "What more can we say?! Victor was a joy, he loves this city and knows the history! He was able to adjust the tour as requested and allowed us lots of time for questions and changes. It was so much fun I’d do the same tour with him again! Thank you Victor!"

    A great Harry Potter tour!

    "Our tour with Carlos was wonderful! Our group included our young granddaughter and her parents, all of whom were familiar with the Harry Potter books and movies, and Carlos pointed out relevant connections and inspirations as we went. The bookstore was a fun part of our visit, and Carlos told us where to stand while he took a great picture that captured a wonderful memory of the day. We highly recommend Carlos!"

    Truly a walk with a local experience!

    "Our trio of 3 women (2 young adult Harry Potter fans and mother of one of them) absolutely loved our ramble with Teresa!!! She went above and beyond, going wherever our interests led us (both shops, sights and conversations). It truly felt like walking with a local! We left with many suggestions of more places to visit. I expect we stay in touch with her."

    Entertaining and Educational

    "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! "

    Great guide for Porto!

    "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."

    Francisca Rocks in Porto

    "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!!"
