We have taken plenty of tours around the world but the one we took in Porto was truly exceptional. What sets Portoalities apart is how unique their itinerary is (from a local market to quaint medieval streets, an exclusive wine tasting to the most fantastic lunch stop), everything was clearly thought of from the beginning to the end. Also, the guide Pedro went the extra mile to ensure we got a personalized experience, from giving us a great seafood restaurant suggestion to making a detour so that my wife could buy some shoes. Thank you Portoalities for ensuring a great start to our week in Portugal!
Tommy is an incredibly knowledgeable guide – we felt we could ask any question and get an informed answer, not only about Porto but about the Portuguese culture and political situation. He is also sweet, fun to be around and handled our youngsters like an ace. He took us to an amazing Port wine cellar, followed by lunch at a traditional restaurant (amazing tapas!) and a tour in the city. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic experience in Porto!
Wonderful tour of Porto from a local perspective instead of a repeat of a travel book itinerary. We were treated like royalty wherever we went, especially at a boutique wine lodge that we would have never found on our own. Fantastic wines! Rodrigo also gifted us some delicious empanadas at the local market and took us to a stunning church that we never heard of. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto and wanting to go off the beaten path.
