Olá and welcome to Porto and Northern Portugal! Porto is a beautiful and safe city to visit. Porto is a city that dates back to the 10th century where you have a huge variety of themes to choose from, such as history, arquitecture, churches and a great lifestyle not to mention the huge gastronomic variety and wine selection. Because Porto is a hilly city separeted by the Douro river you will find amazing and stunning views over the city and sightseeing spots. Last but not least, Porto is located in the coastal area so you will also find nice beaches and excellent views over to the Atlantic ocean. Last but not least, by the end of the day you may enjoy a drink watching a beautiful sunset. About me: I am portuguese borned in Macau, an ex portuguese colony, located in the far east, and I moved to Porto in the early 90's. I am graduated in engineering field where I worked for some time. I began travelling since my early 20's and travelled accross a great deal of countries and continents. Apart from the passion I have over travelling, I also like spending great time with my family. Based on my personal experiences in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds throughout the years, I decided to dedicate my professional life in the tourism area as a tour guide, organizing tours in and out of Porto around five years ago. Although I am not a licenced tour guide, I am registered in the Tourism Board of Portugal as a Tour Operator. It is a pleasure for me to share with you the knowledge I have from Porto and other cities and regions in the northern area of Portugal. Let me help you to fulfil a memorable and joyful experience in and out of Porto. It is a great challenge when starting a tour and getting to know the guests and by end of the tour, feel that the guests enjoyded and are overwhemed with the tour and become like a friend of yours. Truly rewarding. And because I travelled a lot in the past, I may adapt my tours according to customers preferences and interest or tailared made tours, without tight schedules in order for the guests to truly enjoy the moment that they are going through. Apart from facts and figures, storytelling and minor details also plays a big role in this experiences. I do organize private and customized tours in and out Porto because this region of Portugal offers a a vast choice of tours from historical and cultural tours in Guimarães and Braga, beautiful ladscape and wine tours in the Douro Valley and leisure tours in Aveiro, also known as the Venice of Portugal and Costa Nova. Looking forward to meeting you soon to share authentic and memorable experiences in and out of Porto. Rnaat License - 913/19 In my tours I have no restrictions

    We had a fascinating day with Luis on this trip. We had the opportunity to visit a small wine producer, where we learned about the Douro Valley region, the winemaking process, and tasted high-quality wines. We also enjoyed a wonderful picnic-style lunch at another vineyard. Finally, we took a boat trip to explore the Douro Valley from the river, which was a great...

    Our day in the Douro Valley spent with Luis was wonderful. Everyone had a great time. Ahead of the tour, he was very communicative and was constantly looking for ways to make our experience even better (private boat vs. public boat along the Douro River). He even surprised us with champagne for our boat ride! He was very patient as we were a group of 10 and it's sometimes...

    Luis is an excellent guide. After speaking with us, he suggested an unplanned stop to a museum and winery that was really fun. It was a fun day to Aveiro and Costa Nova. We look forward to future tours with Luis.

    Luis was amazing! He asked what our interests were and made sure to include them on our tour. We got to see several points of interest by both car and on foot. And of course, he made time to allow to to shop at some of the local stores. The wine tour we went on was great. We got to sample different port wines. I can't recommend Luis enough. He made our visit to ports...
