Hello, my name is João Pedro I am a tour guide in my own city, in the north region of Portugal! A local guide! I was born and raise in Amarante, a beautiful city in the north of Portugal and since I was a child I had an adventurous spirit and the desire to discovery the nature and the history that was around me. This adventurous spirit took me to do a master degree in physical education with specialization in nature sports. When I finish my academic education, I challenged myself to leave Portugal to work in a cruise company that allowed me to travel around the world, have different perspectives and new experiences that could improve my knowledge and education. In this experience I had the chance to travel around the world try different sports, become a indoor skydiving instructor (ifly) and work with shore excursion and the curiosity to become a tour guide began there. When I finish my experiences in the cruise ship I move to Paris and I live there for two years. After this time, I return to my hometown and decided to open my own turism company with my wife! Our experiences will show you the history, traditions, nature and flavors of our region in Portugal. Now I am a guide for more than two years in my own company and I offer different experiences that you can take to get to know the region and the traditions. From nature tour, jeep tours, hiking tours, city tours, horse riding tour, kayak, cultural tours, wine tours, flavors tours, bicycle tours, workshops to cooking classes, you can choose and plan a tour tail made for you or just take one of our tours! I will make sure that you are comfortable and happy during your experience with me and you feel that you are with a local friend exploring the region. And I usually say Discover with Locals is always a good idea! I am enthusiastic, full of knowledge about the region and I know exactly what you need to visit to get to know the place! Let me guide you through the region and I will make sure you have a good experience in Portugal! Hope to see you soon in Portugal! Have a wonderful vacations! Physical education Teacher Master in Hiking trails Work in a cruise ship for 3 years Indoor skydiving instructor by iFly Work in Turism this last 3 years I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Overview of your Porto tour

This experience is going to delight you and your mouth is going to water every time you think of it. We will deep our hands in the regional pastry, baking and tasting the oldest pastries of Amarante. These sweets date back to the time of the Poor Clares who lived in the Convent of Santa Clara since the XIII century. With this unforgettable taste in our mouths we will visit some taverns of the emblematic street of Covelo, the oldest street in the city, with all its traditional shops and history. There we can taste some of Portugal's best regional products, like cured-ham, cured sausage, assorted cheeses… always accompanied by our light, fresh and elegant Vinho Verde, only produced in the region of Amarante! A local from Amarante will be with you all the time, ME! I will guide you through the places and monuments of the city during the entire experience and make sure you discover all the secrets an flavors!
