This was an excellent trip.
We had Carlos as a guide/driver and he made the trip unforgettable. He is very knowledgeable about the north of Portugal and knows how to intrigue travelers. He accommodated our needs (being Croats, we mostly wanted to sit down and take a coffee in different cafes). We saw everything that was in the program and did not have to rush but were able to walk at our own pace.
What I particularly appreciated is that even if he did not know something we asked, we would check it online and give us proper info. Not many guides do that.
I have to say that if I return to Porto in the future and want to go for a private tour, I would contact Endless Weekend Tour and ask for Carlos.
