Experience City tours in the best of
Porto with Withlocals

"This was my husband’s and my first time in Porto and we’d already spent two days exploring the city in our own before touring with Teresa. She was incredibly engaging, funny, and friendly and our three hour tour flew by! Since we’d already seen a number of the major sites, Teresa easily shifted her planned tour to different and less easy to find gems to explore around Porto, which was wonderful. Her knowledge of the city’s history and culture deepened our new love of Porto. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Teresa and would highly recommend her to any traveler new to Porto!"

"Our tour with Rui was amazing! He has the perfect combination of knowledge and humor. We enjoyed every Minute of our tour and time flewed by. Rui, it was an honor for us!"

"We (a group of 5 adults) had a wonderful experience exploring the Hidden Gems of Porto with Orlando. He’s an incredibly friendly and engaging guy, who clearly is extremely passionate about and proud of his city. We had a wonderful time chatting and getting to know him during our tour. Our tour was in English and his English is excellent. Our family was interested in learning about the history of the region; Orlando is incredibly knowledgeable in this topic. His tour covered many of the important historical landmarks while providing accompanying historical context. In our tour, he focused primarily on the older history of the city (between 1100 and around 1800). He also sprinkled in several truly hidden gems that we would never have heard of without him. For example, he took us to Porto’s Bank of Materials, a fascinating hub for Porto’s repair and conservation efforts. Additionally, Orlando’s deep knowledge of Porto’s history and his experience giving tours was best displayed by his ability to adapt the tour and make connections on the fly. As the tour went on and he learned more about us, he kept highlighting new points and places that related to our interests. This made the experience feel very personal and made it especially engaging. In addition to a great experience the day of, Orlando was awesome beforehand. Due to some last minute cancellations, we had to switch guides just a few days before our trip. Even with very short notice, Orlando was able to integrate us into his schedule without any troubles. He was also very communicative during these few days before, answering our questions about what to bring and how to prepare. We highly recommend. "

"It was a pleasure to do a walking tour with Jose Luis. He was very flexible when we booked, accepting with short notice and suggesting himself to pick us up at our hotel and create the route around our area. JL was very knowledgeable on the history of Porto and Portugal but could also spice things up with witty tales of the past. We enjoyed a lot and would definitly recommend JL"

"Katherine was a brilliant guide. We had a very informative and fun walk around Porto. Strongly recommend her and it! "

"We had a great experience with Katerina. We booked a walking tour for our first full day in Porto to see the highlights and get a feel for the city. Katerina covered a lot of ground, literally, and taught us a lot about Porto's history and the significance of various landmarks. She was incredibly patient with our 5-year-old (who was tired pretty much before we even started) and matched our pace, engaging the kids throughout. We really appreciated her suggestions for how to spend the remainder of our time in Porto, as well."

"We did a 5-hour walking tour around Porto with Gustavo, and I’ll admit, my wife and I were a little nervous about how long it would feel. But honestly, it went by way too fast. Gustavo kept us engaged the entire time. He showed us some really cool spots around the city and brought the history to life in a way that made it feel like we were stepping back in time. From learning that J.K. Rowling once lived there to noticing small historical details like imprints in the walls from past events and signatures etched into the stone, he pointed out things we never would have caught on our own. Every stop felt interesting and meaningful. We also went through Casa do Infante, which added another layer to understanding the history of the area. What really stood out was how entertaining he was and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. It never felt like a long tour; it felt like exploring the city with someone who truly loves it. He also gave us great recommendations for places to hang out and eat, which made the rest of our trip even better. I’m so glad we did this; it gave us a whole new perspective on Porto. Highly recommend Gustavo if you want an experience that’s both fun and unforgettable!"

"Carlos was lovely with the kids and took them to things that were a bit different that they loved. Really glad we did it."

"Bruno is a great tour guide and phenomenal photographer. We had an amazing time and it was such a fun experience to learn about the history of Porto whilst taking photos at the most iconic landmarks the city had to offer. Bruno has the most amazing ability to share the city's great history in a way that is fun and educational. Touring with Bruno will ensure you get to see all the local hotspots that true locals prefer and his recommendations for food and other things to see were absolutely spot on. We have conducted tours like this in many countries and this was one of the best we have ever done. Do not hesitate to book with Bruno, he really made our trip! Brunos ability to find and frame the perfect photographs was simply unbelievable. His ability to spot the perfect locale, lighting and then frame everything perfectly is truly a gift. We were so overjoyed when Bruno shared the photos with us after the day together and this is something we now plan to do every country we visit. We cannot recommend Bruno's 3 hour tour booked with his photography package enough! It is truly a gift for us that will last a lifetime and we are so grateful for his expertise and time. "

"This was our first time booking a tour through "with locals." We were hoping for more of an insider's view of Porto that would include some iconic spots and also street art, places to shop where local artists are supported, and restaurant recommendations. Carlos delivered on all of this plus more: pointed out free museums (I visited the photo museum later - loved it!), a little history, fun facts, interesting stories, things to notice and look for in the architecture and tiles, an understanding of the layout of Porto... We tried many of the foods / spots Carlos recommended -- they were awesome! Carlos is warm and personable and an excellent guide! He definitely made our stay in Porto special. Thank you Carlos!!"
