Ruben’s communication skills before our tour were fantastic. He was prompt with suggestions and constructive feedback. Outstanding customer service skills throughout the tour. He was flexible in his presentation and very knowledgeable. He gave plenty of recommendations and allowed for questions. Book with confidence as Ruben will take solid care of you.

Ruben, picked me and my family up at the apartment we rented in Porto he was on-time and very personable and respectful! He showed us around for 8 hours and would have kept showing us more, but we were all tired and ready to head back to our apartment. He was respectful and caring of my senior mothers need not to walk super far or climb lots of steep stairs, which Porto has plenty of! It was was once in lifetime tour, and Ruben is super knowledagble of Porto's history. Don't wait, and book a tour w/ Ruben
