Hi, I'm Ana, a passionate about tourism, heritage, Portugal and the North!

Come with me on a visit and learn about the history, architecture and charm of Porto and the North! I will give you the opportunity to visit monuments, but also to know the unique character of its inhabitants and I will not forget to mention several curiosities and even some intrigues of the time . . . The Jewish heritage in Porto is one of my best rated tours, that I provide in this city. Join me and meet genuine and emblematic sites that enhance the history of Portugal! ✅ Some advice: If you prefer a quieter time with fewer people, I recommend making your reservation during the afternoon. The most popular tourist attractions are São Bento Station, the Lello Bookstore, and the Cathedral, especially in the morning. At the food Market Bolhão there are many people between 12:00 and 3:00 PM.

The tour shows you the main highlights of Porto, its history, and its character! Did you know that Porto city used to be known as Portucale? In fact, it is the city that gave the name to our whole country! Since the beginning of time, Porto has always been known for its charm. No other city quite like it that is able to embrace the old heritage with the new contemporary art styles. Besides seeing and learning about the fantastic heritage that Porto has, we will see a lot in a short period - Porto UNESCO site is very compact, each building is 5 minutes away. In this tour we will experience the remarkable sound of seagulls, you will be delighted with all the beautiful tile work in various buildings and be ready to be amazed at the excellent viewpoints. In a calm pace, I will provide you a tour as we planned or am ready to adapt to your preferences and be able to listen to your question, so we can share stories and have an excellent tour together.
A very interesting walk through Porto's historical sites. Our first day in Porto. The highlight are the Bento train station and to to see "Perspéntico". Ana was extremely accommodating for start time, meeting place and even to itinerary change. So much information and suggestions of what to see post our tour. Her restaurant suggestions turned out great. So much to see and do in the Porto area.
Ana is prompt, kind, patient and knowledgeable. Thank you for your guidance!
Ana is an incredible guide. My partner and I booked a private walking tour, and she met us in our hotel lobby, arriving a few minutes early. Her English is excellent, she is warm, professional, and clearly passionate about Porto. During the tour, I mentioned that I wasn’t just interested in dates and landmarks – I wanted to understand how Porto’s history fit into the broader story of Portugal. She delivered exactly that, placing the city’s history in its broader national and cultural context and answering every question with thoughtful, engaging explanations. Ana paced the tour comfortably, happily adapted it to our interests, and generously shared local recommendations, including an excellent recommendation for a riverside spot in Ribeira for drinks and light bites, away from the busiest tourist strip. If you want to understand Porto beyond what a guidebook can offer, Ana is an outstanding choice. We would not hesitate to recommend her and would gladly book another tour with her in the future.
My clients enjoyed the tour and felt the tour guide was very knowledgable and personable.
