Pedro was an excellent guide and his love and knowledge of Porto was exceptional!! He even took us to one of his local favorite restaurants for a delicious Francesinha sandwich that was delicious. Picked us up and delivered us to the port with plenty of time. We highly recommend him as your private guide in Porto!
Pedro is a wonderful tour guide! He is highly knowledgeable, easy to understand and personable. We had a great day learning about Porto and Portugal.
We spent the day with Pedro who picked up our party of 6 from our VRBO. He grew up in the neighborhood and knew how to maneuver throughout the city to show us not just the essentials, but also added personal stories which made our tour much more interesting. He was flexible with our desires and we loved the opportunity to stuff ourselves with the special sandwich of Porto--Francesinha. We highly recommend Pedro and appreciated our day with him.
Pedro was an INCREDIBLE guide! We had an amazing day in Porto - we feel like we saw it all, yet we never felt rushed. He definitely tailored the tour to our interests. For example, he allowed us to spend extra time at the Bolhao market, arranged for a wine tasting at a local wine shop, and took us to lunch for Francesinha at a great local place - all things that interested us. He was very knowledgable and very kind - we had a fabulous day! I would definitely hire him again!
What a great day! Pedro was on time, extremely personable, and very flexible in our desire not to walk too much. We got an excellent sense of Porto and he clearly knows his city and is very thoughtful about his tour. Recomment without reservation.
Pedro choose a route that fit my handicapped needs, but didn't handicap the experience of the rest of our family. He was full of information and his explanations were clear, and he offered many helpfully suggestions for the rest of our stay in Porto and Portugal.
