Experience City tours in the best of
Porto with Withlocals

"Our Medieval History of Porto tour with André was fantastic. His background as a history graduate and local really made the experience stand out. He brought so much nuance to Porto’s history and shared fascinating military, historical, and cultural details that we otherwise would have missed. Since history can be an especially difficult topic to translate, I appreciated that André's English was conversational and accessible enough that my 11 year old son could follow along and enjoy the stories rather than feeling like he was tagging along. We appreciated the thoughtful pacing and choice of locations. With our jet lag, it was wonderful to visit quieter historic sights and hidden-gem viewpoints rather than spending the entire tour navigating crowded attractions. André was also happy to make a few stops related to Porto’s Jewish history on short notice, which we greatly appreciated. And the perfect ending was stopping for pastries and coffee at a local pastel de nata bakery. Overall it was a robust and fascinating tour that made the time fly by for all of us. Well done!"

"My 11-year-old son and I are complete futebol novices, so we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Rui. He was incredibly patient and kind, and he shared wonderful stories about what it’s like to be an FC Porto fan, which made the experience feel personal and authentic. The original plan was for Rui to share some stories about the team and its history with us before we attended an FC Porto match. Before the game, we had a fantastic time learning about the club’s history, enjoying a delicious meal at a café filled with fans, and getting Rui’s great recommendations for FC Porto merchandise. Unfortunately, our match tickets didn’t work out. As we later learned, it’s best to purchase FC Porto tickets directly through the club’s website. FC Porto strong advises avoiding second party websites to avoid purchasing fake or inacurate tickets. When our plans fell apart and we realized we wouldn't be admitted to attend the game, Rui didn’t just say goodbye . He stayed with us, made sure we were okay, helped ensure that we got home safely and kept in touch with us as we sought and achieved resolution. Rui went far beyond what we expected from a tour guide. His kindness, patience, local knowledge, and genuine love for FC Porto turned what could have been a disappointing evening into a really memorable experience. We highly recommend Rui, especially for families or anyone who is new to futebol and wants to experience the passion of FC Porto through a local’s eyes!"

"Fernando is the person you need to book if you want to learn about the city of Porto. My wife and I landed early on a Sunday morning and wanted to tour the city. Fernando not only showed us many important sights but explained the story behind each one. He also informed us of the rich history of the city. He covers religion, conflicts, architecture, politics, food, and of course wine. He also had plenty of recommendations of what we should see and do during the rest of our short stay. You will feel like a true Tripeiro (look it up) by the end of the tour."

"We just want to share some kind words about our wonderful guide Kate! She was very knowledgeable about Porto and made it as advertised - family friendly. Although we started later, she made the most of the time by providing as much information as she can. We learned a lot from her. Thanks for the day."

"Ana is a great guide, sharing her knowledge of the town with simplicity and enthusiasm She listened to our areas of interest to adapt the tour and the 3 hours went very quickly as she had so many details and insights to tell… I highly recommend Ana to discover Porto. 💙🤍"

"Orlando is extremely personable and love to share his knowledge, stories and passion about Porto. Thanks Orlando!"

"Our family had a great walking tour with Orlando. He was on time, communicated beforehand how to locate him, and was very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and specifically his home of Porto. We saw many things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Highly recommend Orlando for your tour!"

"This was an incredible experience. Walking with Andre around Porto was like just hanging out with a friend for a few hours as we traversed the city. Andre was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, teaching us about the history of the city, as well as that of the Jewish heritage within it. There is so much to see and learn that I would highly recommend taking this tour, with Andre, to experience it the best way possible."

"Taking the Porto tour with Orlando was like being with your favorite History teacher. He was helpful, had good humor and completely knew his sh!t. He made Porto come alive with stories and graphics that made it a real pleasure."

"We had a wonderful time with Priscilla, who shared her love of Porto with us over several hours. She hit the major spots we’d hoped to see, but what really set the tour apart was that she also took us to a few areas where locals actually hang out — a completely different side of the city than the postcard version. We covered everything from world travel to local culture, swapping stories the whole way, and wrapped up with a traditional Portuguese lunch at a spot we never would have found ourselves. She also left us with fabulous dinner recommendations—both Portuguese and Brazilian food!"
