Be a tour guide is a state of mind!! I love to receive and meet people, so, this is my passion! As I love my city and my country. . . everything is easy for me. . . all is a pleasure. I believe that sharing the affection and stories provide the most unforgettable travel experiences and of course not forgetting the food and drink that are very important too! I love sharing my taste for local culture and give some suggestions from my experience. Besides hiring a tour guide !! The most important things to do in the world are. . . - to get something to eat - something to drink and somebody to love you! ;) I lead tours all over Porto and Portugal including all principal sites that you should not miss, but, also some "pearls" that are not on the guides! My intention is to show you my town and Portugal as a Porto citizen as I am. I am able to customize the tour to suit your interest. So, pick the tour that you would like, and I am sure, with my humble affection, we will be happy at the end of the day!

This was actually our second day touring with Pedro. On this day he took us around for a tour of Porto. It was energetic, very interesting, (well paced so we didn’t get exhausted!) and he made some wonderful recommendations for what to do in our free time and where to eat. Thank you Pedro so much. We feel like we made a new friend, hope to be able to see you again in the future.

Pedro is an excellent guide - providing us with a wonderful full day shore excursion from Leixoes to Porto. He knows his city well and gave us an excellent overview of the city's history including stops at the train station to admire the beautiful tile work, pastel de nata & coffee, scenic overlooks, local fishing village & topped off with a port wine tasting at a local wine shop. Pedro is thoughtful and eager to please his clients. You won't be disappointed if you book one of his tours.

If knowledge, personality, compassion and flexibility are what you want in a guide, Pedro O is just the person for you...he certainly was for us! We are sorry we didn't know that he guides Lisbon as well.

Our group of four all agreed that our tour of Porto was a great value. Pedro Oliveira had pride and enthusiasm for his city and it came through to us in his explanation of history, viewing of beautiful landscapes and sights. It certainly didn't hurt that Pedro directed us to a restaurant where we enjoyed wonderful cuisine of Portugal. We would all highly recommend Tours By Locals and Pedro Oliveira.
