Hi, my name is João I'm Portuguese, born and raised in this beautiful city of Porto I am a football / soccer fan. I acquired this passion from my grandfather who led me to start playing at a very young age as he was the founder of a team in Lisbon and, due to a knee injury, it took me away from the sport at the age of 19 yo. I had always a passion for history, so after living the practice of sports I applied to History and Arts University where I graduate. Through an invitation of a friend of mine, who is a travel agent and private guide, knowing my passion for history and fluent English speaking, I have been a private tour guide for 8 years now. Due to my acquired experience I have prepared a set of tours for you to choose, all customizable. I also have the ability and the means to easily adjust any program or create a customized itinerary due to your interests, half-day, full-day or even multi-day, all over Portugal, accommodating up to 4 person or bigger groups. Looking forward to meet you in Porto! João B. I'm qualified to work under the License of Tourism of Portugal nº 652/2015. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of some historical monuments.

Joao spoke flawless American English - sounded like another American. He has a university degree in history and was able to tell us so much about Portugal. I loved the sense of national pride he communicated and the strong sense of importance of the family in his culture. It was a delightful day.

Our Porto tour with Tours By Locals had an unexpected beginning, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We had booked our tour months before arriving in Porto, but unfortunately our original guide had to cancel. Tours By Locals responded quickly and found a replacement guide almost immediately. We accepted their recommendation right away, but somehow...
