We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Walking Tour Porto with our guide, Sara. We got a little lost but Sara found us right away and from the moment she found us, it was clear that Sara is extremely knowledgeable—not just about the history of Porto, but also its culture, architecture, and hidden gems.
Her English was excellent, and she made me and my husband feel welcome and engaged. Sara encouraged questions throughout the tour and always took the time to give thoughtful, informative answers. It really felt like we were getting a personalized insight into Porto.
What made this tour stand out was how much we saw beyond the typical tourist stops. Sara introduced us to fascinating places we never would’ve found on our own, like a men’s clothing store that used to be an old hospital convent. We also visited a café covered in plates from students who went to the university close by and a quirky bar filled with vintage toys.
Sara also gave us a deeper understanding of Porto’s rich architectural styles and took time to explain what we were seeing in a way that was accessible and interesting. The train station, with its stunning tile work and historical significance, was another highlight thanks to her storytelling.
We especially appreciated the recommendations she gave us for what to do after the tour. To help us make the most of our time in Porto.
We learned so many fascinating facts and felt like we got a genuine feel for the heart of the Porto. Highly recommend this tour and especially Sara if you want an enriching and memorable Porto experience!
