Olá! I'm Mayinka, your fun-loving host in the vibrant city of Porto. This city is a true gem, blending nature, art, and amazing vegetarian food. I adore swimming in the sea, skating along the scenic paths, dining in the city's best veggie spots, and catching live music at cool venues. Porto's artistic vibe is infectious, and I know all the neighborhoods inside out. From hidden vegetarian eateries to quirky second-hand shops, sports spots, beautiful nature retreats, art galleries, music venues, and historic sites, I'm your go-to person. Let's explore Porto's charming streets and create unforgettable memories together!

We had a walking tour with Mayinka on April 25th 2025. She was great, punctual, pleasant, with very interesting facts and funny as well. We went almost all around the city. We enjoyed very much her knowledge, her kindness and courtesy. We loved Porto and found our way around the city very well because of her!

This is a customizable experience, which allows the guide to focus the our on things you care about most!! Mayinka was fantastic, she was bubbly and funny, and took us to some very cool and unexpected spots in addition to typical tourist places. We had a fantastic time!

Mayinka is so enthusiastic about Porto! You can tell she loves this city. She took the time to understand what we wanted to see, and did a great job giving us a mix of traditional tourist/historical spots, as well as hidden gems we never would have known existed if not for her! She did a spectacular job making our day wonderful!
