Filipe Silva picked us up from our hotel in Lisbon on Dec 25th 2019 early morning to drive 8 of us (4 adults & 4 kids) to Porto. We were lucky to find him on Christmas day. Although most of the attractions were closed, which we were well aware of, he made sure that we make maximum out of our trip. We stopped at Coimbra and spent about an hour to see the city. In Porto, we were able to see most of the city in a very short time. We were able to take lots of pictures and Filipe was very patient and well attentive to our needs. The drive to Porto is long but Filipe was very friendly and spent lots of time explaining things very well. It goes without saying that he spoke very good English as well. On the way back to Lisbon, as it was late and being Christmas day and most of the restaurants were either closed or completely booked, Filipe helped us to find a good place to eat dinner and even gave us gifts at the end - a good luck rooster. I realize I have not mentioned much about Porto itself and it is because as I have already mentioned most of the attractions were closed. However, I assure you that Porto is one of the most beautiful and historical cities that you will not want to miss. Oh yes, Porto is famous for their wine and we had the opportunity to go wine tasting but 7 out of 8 of us, do not drink wine. Hence, we skipped wine tasting, and instead decided to go see the sunset at the beach. It was well worth it. We highly recommend this tour and strongly recommend Filipe for any tour in Lisbon, Portugal.
