Hello and welcome to Porto, My name is Jorge and I'm one of the locals but I'm also a qualified, accredited, and insured guide. I have a degree in Tourism and I'm a certified Official Tourist Guide by SNATTI. I was born and raised in Porto and my hometown remains my passion but if I must choose a subject, I will say that my preferences are architecture, art, history, Port Wine, and the Douro Valley. I write the tours myself, making every Porto walk and private tour unique. This means you get a personal and passionate delivery. Private guided tours are a great way to experience the city over a short amount of time. They also allow you to learn more about the history and culture of Portugal as part of an immersive and interactive experience. Choose your favourite tour or feel free to suggest alternative places and activities that strike your interest. Let's have fun… . Bachelor's Degree in Tourism by ISCET. .

Beautiful day trip from Porto with a local guide
Overview of your Porto tour
Minho is the northwest region of Portugal, famous for its hills and valleys, and of course the unique "Vinho Verde". Let's start the day visiting Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal. The city kept its medieval core and it's a UNESCO Heritage site. We will also appreciate the iconic Guimares Castle, home of the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques. Standing next to the castle is the monumental Ducal Palace, ancient home of the House of Bragança. We will continue discovering the heart of the medieval town, zigzagging through the narrow streets, and its charming little squares and continue towards Braga. Founded by the roman emperor Augustus in 16 BC. You will have time stroll through the historic center and visit the oldest cathedral in Portugal. On the way back to Porto, we'll have an opportunity to say goodbye to the Minho region from the Bom Jesus Sanctuary. Situated on a hilltop, famous for its baroque ambiance.
