Raquel (I think that’s how her name is spelled!) was a lovely, young, knowledgeable woman. She was very accommodating of all the group and was interactive with many, if not all of the group members. The sights she took us to were high on my agenda whilst visiting Porto and the information she shared about them was interesting. I would highly recommend a tour with this company and would expect to find yourself lucky if Raquel is your tour guide.

Fabián was a great guide. I loved how he interspersed stories about buildings and important Porto figures. I loved that his girlfriend’s Great Auntx5 was on one of the statues and had a great story to boot. I’d highly recommend his tour. I’ve enjoyed both my Guru walks in Portugal
