What travelers think of our Portugal experiences

Hannah was absolutely amazing! I felt like I was walking around with an old friend. She took me to places that had amazing bites and also informed me about the city as we walked. I couldn’t have asked for more. She even let me practice my horrible Portuguese without laughing in my face.

The tour with Hanna was like taking a walk with an old friend. She was very knowledgeable and not only showed me great sights but also took me to places with great bites. She even let me try to speak my horrible Portuguese without laughing in my face.

Antonio was very accommodating of our confusing start! Thank you all again for a great experience.

Antonio took us on a very enjoyable culinary journey. Based on the preferences we expressed to him, he took us to several locations with a diverse selection of savory and sweet treats and drinks. We really appreciated that he steered us towards authentic items. He also pointed out various sites and provided a lot of historical context. Finally, he gave us a bunch of recommendations for things to do and see, and more important, how to get there. We truly enjoyed this experience and conversing with Antonio along the way.

Mayinka showed us a wonderful time in Porto. Children were engaged and excited to visit some of the best spots in Porto for food, drink and sights to see. Mayinka was lovely company and helped us to enjoy our first day.
