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.

Iconic attractions can come with crowds. Porto is no different and its main attractions which every first-time visitor has on their list can have very long queues, especially during the peak summer period. Bypass the long lines at the Lello Bookshop, the Bolsa Palace, and the Cathedral and make the most of your tour. Enjoy all the benefits of a guided tour with none of the rushing. An opportunity to discover "all the faces" of the city center, with its different charms, perfumes, and atmospheres. From the busy commercial area to the hidden cobblestone narrow streets of the old quarters, from the local market to the heart of the city nightlife… Porto in all its flavors! A Full Day walking tour through the history, culture, architecture, and lifestyle of this unique World Heritage city by UNESCO.
Jorge was a knowledgeable and excellent guide, and my family had an incredible tour of Porto with him. It was a tiring day of walking up and down the hilly streets of Porto, but it was worth it to learn and experience the history, architecture, and art of the city. The phone said that we did 22,000 steps.
We had a great tour by Jorge, he show us a lot of interesting places and the stories behind them.
Very skilled, highly-educated and nice guide! Definitely recommended.
