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.
