Experience Day Trips in Porto with Withlocals

"Our walking tour with Andre was so informative. We covered many sights in our time. His knowledge about the area was amazing. We had a fabulous adventure. Thank you! "

"We came into Porto on an Oceania cruise ship. We arrived at 9am so, we could not take full advantage of the 8 hour private tour. Gustavo picked us up at 930am in his pristinely clean Mercedes station wagon. We needed to be back on board by 530pm but needed to be a bit conservative since it wasn’t a ship sponsored tour. We arrived back at 440pm. Once picked up, we headed straight to the Douro Valley. Gustavo knew all the best vista points and brought us to them. We had a wonderful lunch and wine at Sandman, one of the finest port producers in Portugal. We had to skip the boat ride on the Douro River so that we could do most everything else. After lunch, we told Gustavo that we would rather tour around, looking for the best Vistas versus going to the wine tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed our choice. The excursion was fabulous and we’re thrilled that we got to witness the Douro Valley & Douro Valley. It was a high quality tour put on by a native of the area. The only reason I can’t give it a 10 for value is that we had to pay for some things we didn’t do. This said, we knew about all of this in advance of the tour. "

"We absolutely loved Gustavo. My husband and I are in our early 30s and with so many tour guide options it was hard to choose based on a few reviews and bios. But rolled the dice and we couldn't have felt luckier. Gustavo knows so much about his country and the wine and food. He's very genuine and a fun person, never felt like conversations were forced. The restaurant in Douro was incredible. He took care of us so well. So don't hesitate just book him. "

"Anselmo is the best private guide we’ve ever had. He is extremely competent and organized, and at the same time easy going and fun. I’d trust him with everything, he’d choose the best options available. I’d definitely try to engage him again on our next visit to Porto."

"We had the pleasure of spending half a day in Porto with Helena as our guide, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her, Helena’s warmth and enthusiasm made us feel welcome. She was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving together Porto’s history, culture, and hidden gems in a way that was both engaging and easy to enjoy. She brought us through highlights, always sharing stories that gave each stop more meaning. Her pacing was perfect, balancing sightseeing with time to relax and take it all in. Helena also introduced us to Time Out Market Porto, where we had one of our favorite meals of the trip, trying the famous francesinha sandwich, fresh seafood with octopus, and of course a Port tasting. If you’re visiting Porto and want a guide who combines professionalism, passion, and a true love for her city, Helena is the one to book. She turned our short time in Porto into an unforgettable experience."
