Born in Brazil and a passionate artist, I studied music and architecture in Germany and worked as an assistant director. The love for art and the enthusiasm for food and culture are my thing, and it's my pleasure to share it all with you! Small cultural observations, folk stories, historical shops, food for rich and poor, special alleys, and lots of input on architecture await you! – and of course, the sights 😉

Tour description

- *In case of rain, we move as possible between covered areas to reduce wetness :) even though you might want to carry an umbrella 😁 -

A tour for those who want to get a good insight into the history and culture of Porto and take a pleasant free tour, without the classic long lectures.

Emphazasing the historical development of culture, architecture and art but chilled and in good mood. We grab some coffee if some are still sleepy, some beer if too happy, some pastry if too cravy, breaks and detours - its YOUR tour though! :D

.... and the BEST: you will receive from me a Maps Link with all the best insider tips for food, drinks and more :D

Wir hatten eine tolle Tour mit Gabriel. Er war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele Infos zur Geschichte Portos näher gebracht. Außerdem hat er interessante und schöne Orte ausgewählt. Die Tour wurde auch individuell an unsere Gruppe angepasst und wir haben uns auch sehr über die Karte seiner Empfehlung gefreut.

Super informativ, entspannt und humorvoll zeigt Gabriel den Charme von Porto. Schön auch, dass wir nicht nur an den typischen Touristenorten waren. Freuen uns auf die Food Tour;)

It's an interesting tour to know better about Porto, however since the tour guide studied in architecture, i would specifically expect more knowledge or introduction about history development, styles of architecture/tiles in Porto, and it's suggested to have some pictures shown. Overall it's easy to understand and interesting.
