Hello, I'm Magda, I'm passionate about my hometown Porto, its History, Art and Heritage! I would be very pleased to show you my beloved Porto, the city where I was born and raised, and where I have developed my professional background. I graduated in History of Art at University of Porto. My first job was as a teacher of History in a few Public High Schools in Portugal. Afterwards I worked in contemporary art galleries for almost a decade and lately worked 5 years as a bookseller at the so-called most beautiful bookshop in the world. My main interests are Art, Architecture and History. I also love the curiosities and legends of this town, Portuguese genuine traditions, our gastronomical specialities and wines. Since 2022, I have been working as a tour guide and the experience of sharing and exchanging knowledge with people from different cultures and backgrounds has been so personally rewarding and it is the reason why I am doing it in a full time basis. All tours can be customised according to your preferences and I welcome your wishes to plan a completely new tour (you can send me also an enquiry in order to visit other towns in Portugal, for instance: Guimarães, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Coimbra or Aveiro or regions like Douro Valley and Côa Valley). As our most remarkable 20th century woman novelist, Agustina Bessa-Luis, once said (and she chose Porto to live): "Porto is not a place, is a feeling. " Therefore, I invite you to come into my favorite streets, museums and views in Porto, also unveiling the unique character of its inhabitants. Degree in History of Art, Faculty of Humanities, University of Porto Guide Licensed by Tourism of Portugal (RNAAT), with all the mandatory insurances required. I am not a driver but I can secure transportation and professional drivers for the tours.
