Great tour with Oliver!

Our family had a wonderful tour with Oliver. He showed us many highlights of Porto and explained the history and local perspective. We enjoyed the cable car and boat ride also.

Good tour, great value, excellent guide

We saw so much - the history was interesting and brought alive by Olivier who was also very skilled at making it fun and keeping us on track! The bookshop, cable car and river boat added variety. If you do only one tour in Porto this is a great choice

Excellent tour

Excellent tour. David was our guide. He shared his love for the city of Porto with us and had deep knowledge of the city’s history. The tour itself consisted of visits to main areas of interest, interspersed with breaks. Livraria Lello was crowded as to be expected, but we got right in as part of the tour. There was plenty of opportunities for photos throughout the tour and David frequently reminded us there was no rush. The walk across the bridge provided gorgeous views, as did the tram ride down to Gaia. The boat ride was a perfect way to end the tour. David provided us with excellent recommendations for lunch.
