Hi, I'm Ana, a passionate about tourism, heritage, Portugal and the North! Porto and the North of Portugal represent for me: my roots, family, authentic traditions, contact with nature, holidays, the Flavours of the land and sea, the sound of seagulls, the gentle smile, and much more!! Come with me on a visit and learn about the history, architecture and charm of Porto and the North! I will give you the opportunity to visit monuments, but also to know the unique character of its inhabitants and I will not forget to mention several curiosities and even some intrigues of the time . . . The Jewish heritage in Porto is one of my best rated tours, that I provide in this city. Join me and meet genuine and emblematic sites that enhance the history of Portugal! ✅ Some advice: If you prefer a quieter time with fewer people, I recommend making your reservation during the afternoon. The most popular tourist attractions are São Bento Station, the Lello Bookstore, and the Cathedral, especially in the morning. At the food Market Bolhão there are many people between 12:00 and 3:00 PM.

Visit the historical centre and birthplace of Portugal
Overview of your Porto tour
One day tour in Guimarães, a World Heritage Site, that is considered the birth of the nation. A charming medium-sized town, with a very well-protected city center, a castle, and a palace. The town that has proud of introducing you to the first king of Portugal and his brave spirit. In here you will learn how Portugal was born, in the XII century. A region of excellent food and wine, as well as beautiful craft, Guimarães is the right place to taste Vinho Verde (green wine), our dry and young wine with unique flavors that you will never forget. At a calm pace, I will provide you a tour as we planned or am ready to adapt to your preferences and be able to listen to your questions, so we can share stories and have an excellent tour together! 🔥 would like a full day trip including Braga? Please, ask me a quote.

Ana, was a terrific tour guide. We had a delightful and knowledgeable day in the Duro Valley. Our trip was perfect. We would recommend Ana highly.

After a full day in Porto, we went to Guimares and Braga. My feelings about Ana's guiding us there, is the same as the Porto's visit. Amazing knowledge. One of the best guide ever. Ana is fantastic. My clients and I absolutely loved her for her knowlwedge, her attention, her humor, her kindness and the fact that she never stopped giving us formidable information. She knows the city, she knows lots of small details which make the visit more interesting. She also has a very pleasant personality.
