My name is João, a native son of Porto. I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 7 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history. After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!) That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. ) My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, locals and their habits, landmarks, vistas; viewpoints, photography and wine tasting. After being a tourism guide for 7 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :) I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto!

We have been lucky to have done many sidecar rides in cities in Europe, but we enjoyed this one the most. We not only saw the sights of the old city and the bridges, but we saw the new and went to the beach. We saw everything including a trip to the market & enjoyed a glass of Porto wine before saying goodbye at our riverboat. If you are thinking this may be too...

July 2026Thank YOU so much for the fun tour and the Very kind words! :)
++++++ Absolutely excellent in every way! Joao was the perfect host and tour guide. Since I had seen the main Porto attractions previously, he customized the tour to make it especially for me. I saw many great views and off the beaten path things in Porto. He provided a drink and custard pie at one local cafe. We ended by walking through the Bolhão market and eating fresh...
