My name is João, a native son of Porto. I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 7 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history. After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!) That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. ) My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, locals and their habits, landmarks, vistas; viewpoints, photography and wine tasting. After being a tourism guide for 7 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :) I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto! RNAAT130/2018 - Tourism of Portugal license 7 years experience I cannot guide inside museums that offer their own guides. None other restrictions.

Overview of your Porto tour

Ready to explore Porto, through the old neighborhoods and narrow streets? We will be the only ones exploring Porto aboard our classic sidecar as I'm the only one in Porto doing this experience :) Discover Porto from the perspective of a local and in a sidecar, at a slow pace and with lots of stops for stories, history and photos! Like a walking tour but covering 10x more and looking fabulous while doing it! From the cruise port entrance, along the Douro river and into the narrow streets of the Historical center. I will use the old neighborhoods, with its narrow streets, facades and viewpoints with beautiful vistas to tell you the history and local stories of Porto. Now let's cross to Gaia and enjoy a Port wine tasting at the local market and after, one of the best views of the city! It's time to start slowly making our way to drop you off at the cruise ship. The Perfect Overview of Porto away from the big bus. Welcome!
