Hello! Olá! I’m Izzy, and thank you for stopping by. Hopefully the next stop is Porto. 😊 Originally from Lisbon, Porto stole my heart back in 1998 when I moved here to study Biology. Somewhere between microscopes and food safety research, I had a realization: spending my life in a laboratory wasn’t for me. I missed people, conversation, and stories. So I followed another passion and moved to Paris, where I trained in Image, Communication and Protocol in Politics & Business. While working in those fields, I was invited to organize and accompany private tours in Portugal. That experience changed everything. I discovered what I truly loved: connecting people with places. Although I divide my time between Lisbon and Porto, Porto has been home for more than half my life. And this city is more than beautiful. It has soul. My tours are rooted in history but brought to life through storytelling. I don’t focus on memorizing dates or repeating tourist myths. Instead, I share the human stories behind the city: the people, the decisions and the moments that shaped Portugal. With me you won’t hear dramatic but false legends repeated just because they sound good. What you will get is authenticity, context and a deeper understanding of Portuguese culture. Because when you truly understand a place, you experience it differently. If you’re looking to go beyond the surface and discover the real Porto - its history, culture, food and character - I would be delighted to guide you. And if you’re comparing tours, I’ll leave you with a quote often attributed to Warren Buffett: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Hope to meet you soon in Porto. Izzy
