Experience the best of
Porto with Withlocals

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Vera. We appreciated her deep knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. She took time to get to know us, making the experience relaxing and personal. The food choices were excellent and we found this a great way to get our bearings at the beginning of our time in Porto. "

"This was my first visit to Porto and I was staying for only 2 days. Being a solo traveller and having no sense of direction, booking a tour With Locals seemed a good plan to get the best out of my short stay in the visit. Rosa is a delight; very friendly and knowledgeable about Porto. I spent a lovely day with Rosa which she followed up with a list of recommended restaurants and places we visited. "

"What a great day with an incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and personable guide. I couldn’t recommend him more if you want a thorough history of Porto!"

"Our tour with Andre was the best part of our visit to Porto. He has an impressive knowledge of the town’s history. We walked through the oldest parts of Porto as he pointed out architecture and events that have made the city. André is articulate, knowledgeable, and funny. "

"We took the "Highlights and Hidden Gems of Porto" tour with André. He told us about the long history of Porto in the context of Portugues history. He took us to important place around town (e.g., Igreja do Carmo, Cathedral, several great vantage points). He did a very good job of explaining the different architectural styles of the buildings we walked along. We walked around Porto at a leisurely pace so that we were able to enjoy what we were seeing and to be able to ask questions. By the time we finished we had a better understanding of history but also of the geography of the city. André is very personable, has a good sense of humor, and answered all our questions. We enjoyed our time with him and recommend him as a guide in Porto, "

"My family of three just spent several hours with Rui today, and we loved every second of it. He loved to share stories about his hometown, Porto, and we now have a new friend in Rui. He was so kind and knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and left with so much new knowledge about Porto and the history of Portugal. We also really enjoyed being able to casually chat with a local about what it’s like to live in Porto now, and also what it was like for his parents many years ago. Would highly recommend this experience, and it was an epic day for our family."

"Fernando is a lovely guy! He is kind, gentle, considerate and knowledgeable. We actually live in Porto but we wanted to get to know a little more about the hidden treasures and stories of the city that could reveal more of the soul of Porto. Fernando did not disappoint, he understood exactly what we were after and he showed us the Porto that only a local would know. We had a very enjoyable day and we genuinely enjoyed Fernando's company. Thank you!"

"We knew from the start that my husband and I were going to have a wonderful day exploring the Douro River Valley together with Anselmo. After an online consultation prior to our arrival, Anselmo tailored an off-the-beaten-path tour to address our historical, cultural and wine interests. He drove us through less-traveled scenic areas (we viewed the valley from both sides of the river!), provided insights to port wine making, treated us with local coffee and pastries at one of our stops, organized port and wine tastings, prearranged lunch at a vineyard overlooking the river valley, and capped off the sunny afternoon at a rustic vineyard as we toasted (with outstanding port) a fabulous day. The entire tour was one long conversation among the three of us. Anselmo is warm, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. (And he managed many curvy roads with skill!) We recommend without reservation hiring Anselmo to explore the history of Porto and to celebrate the riches of the Douro River Valley."

"Mayumi was a wonderful tour guide for our first full day in Porto! She was extremely knowledgeable, energetic, and genuine. You could tell she has so much love for the city! She customizes the tour to your preferences and has many recommendations for food and shopping. Such a wonderful experience and a great way to be introduced to the city!"

"We spent a terrific afternoon with Joana exploring the past, present and possible future of Porto. She was engaging and immensely knowledgeable and attentive to our interests. Also, she adopted her pace readily when faced with my physical limitations. She also knew where to find the best Pastel do Nata in town! A truly delicious experience in every way. "
