Guides such as Ana, Diego, Johanna, and André are praised for clear history and helpful tips, but current city restrictions may shift the route toward Gaia.

“Our tour guide Diego was awesome. He shared a lot of history of Porto and pointed out a lot of sites as well as gave us great suggestion and took some wonderful photos for us. Our one complaint is that we purchased a tuk tuk tour of Porto but once we were on the tour he told us this tuk tuk company is not allowed in Porto so he had to take us to Gaia instead and showed us the view of Porto from across the river which is not what the Viator description explained.”

“Sadly, this was such a disappointing tour. We’ve taken many wonderful viator tours but this was basically a guide that had very little to say, and we tore through the small, crowded streets for 30 minutes. Absolutely was not worth the dollars spent. We heard other guides while we explored on our own after and they gave much more information to their guests.”
