This was the most memorable experience of our stay in Porto. We had organised this tour on recommendation of a friend and travel agent in Australia.
We met João (John) and Farez at the meeting point, which was conveniently changed to our advantage the day before.
We rode to the markets where we walked around and received an insight into the building, history and all the delicacies. We visited St Francis of Assisi church with beautiful blue and white tiles, stopped for a special drink at a local cafe and viewed the Atlantic Ocean from St Catherine church while hearing turkeys gobbling, viewing lemon and peach trees below while sipping champagne. Our tour navigated sunshine and showers but ponchos were provided and the rain did not dampen our experience. We always felt safe and people enjoyed taking photos of us wherever we passed.
João conducts a very professional tour and has time to impart his great knowledge of Porto and Portugal with humour and warmth. This is a tour not to be missed.
