I’ve lived in Porto for 28 years
I speak English, Portuguese and some Spanish
I am a Urban Planner
Olá! I’m Cátia, a born-and-raised tripeira with a deep love for Porto’s unique charm. This isn’t just a city—it’s a place you have to experience. Every street, every building, every bite of food tells a story shaped by history. I love wandering through the city center, always spotting something new, and I’m constantly on the lookout for the latest trendy spots—restaurants, cafés, bars, you name it! With my background in history and urban evolution, I have a keen eye for how Porto became the fascinating, layered city it is today. From centuries-old traditions to modern-day gems, I’ll show you a side of Porto that’s as authentic as it gets. Ready to explore? Let’s go!
Catia was fantastic! She showed us the history of Porto from Roman times to current. She was fun, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. We experienced history, culture, food and traditions. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and especially Catia. She emailed me ahead of time to find out what we liked and wanted to experience and she nailed it!

Our walking tour with Catia was fabulous!! She shared lots of historical pieces of information and took us to lots of different areas of Porto. We walked through all the alleyways and she pointed out lots of interesting information. She was very personable and we had a wonderful time with her
