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!

Malwina gave us a wonderful private tour designed for our interests and preferences. She showed us a great number of places and provided lots of history and information about Porto. Malwina a lovely young lady with patience, kindness and a sense of humor.

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Marynka. The sights were taylored to our interests and she was good at pacing and giving us time for breaks. There is no way we could have seen all that we did without her as our guide! Thank You!

Mayinka was kind, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. We had such a lovely tour with her. She made sure we saw things we are interested in and was flexible to our pace. She had great tips for the rest of our trip too! We loved the cathedral and Douro riverside as particular highlights!
