Amazing tour with Sophia as a guide! She showed us practically the whole city in 3 hours and was so informative with history and architecture of Porto. We did everything at our pace and even took the time to go into the Cathedral with us. I would highly highly recommend taking this tour with Sophia!

Mayinka was the best! We did a tour of Porto during the rain after a day of travel. We were so tired but Mayinka helped us make the best of it. After her tour we felt familiar with the city & checked out many places she recommended the day after. Also she is a great photographer. Highly recommend!! Wear comfy shoes & be prepared for steep inclines before you take on Porto!
