Catia nous a fait visiter la ville de Porto. Elle a à cœur l’historique de sa ville. Elle a su nous transmettre sa passion. Malgré la pluie le tour était juste parfait, nous aurions cru une sortie entre amies. Je recommande Catia et je la remercie de tout mon cœur de nous avoir transmis cette amour de Porto. Catia gave us a tour of Porto. She's passionate about the city's history and shared her enthusiasm with us. Despite the rain, the tour was absolutely perfect; it felt like a day out with friends. I highly recommend Catia and thank her from the bottom of my heart for sharing her love of Porto with us.

There was a mixup at the beginning that was COMPLETELY my fault! Mayinka did everything right! The tour was wonderful — we covered a lot of areas and Mayinka was full of interesting info about them and also about Porto and Portugal.
