Hi, my name is João I'm Portuguese, born and raised in this beautiful city of Porto I am a football / soccer fan. I acquired this passion from my grandfather who led me to start playing at a very young age as he was the founder of a team in Lisbon and, due to a knee injury, it took me away from the sport at the age of 19 yo. I had always a passion for history, so after living the practice of sports I applied to History and Arts University where I graduate. Through an invitation of a friend of mine, who is a travel agent and private guide, knowing my passion for history and fluent English speaking, I have been a private tour guide for 8 years now. Due to my acquired experience I have prepared a set of tours for you to choose, all customizable. I also have the ability and the means to easily adjust any program or create a customized itinerary due to your interests, half-day, full-day or even multi-day, all over Portugal, accommodating up to 4 person or bigger groups. Looking forward to meet you in Porto! João B. I'm qualified to work under the License of Tourism of Portugal nº 652/2015. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of some historical monuments.
