I came to Porto, Portugal with a broken ankle and couldn't walk much. Most of the tours involve a lot of walking on uneven ground so I requested a driving tour with stops along the way and Graham at Tours By Locals set me up with a private, 4-hour tour of Porto with Ruben P. He was a fantastic guide and gave me the history of the city, took me to the Yeatman Hotel in Gaia overlooking the river and city, as well as to Porto points of interest, like the cathedral and train station. Highly recommended!
