33 year old Dubliner who has called Porto home for the best part of 12 years. While studying Spanish and Portuguese in University, I chose Porto as my year abroad and instantly fell in love with the city. I have been working as a tour guide for nearly 9 years with a strong passion for history, politics and food, which I hope to convey on my tours. I also love football but I try to avoid too much of that on my tours!
We really enjoyed our tour, very informative and enteetaining.
Really appreciated that Caoimhin agreed to run the tour even if I was the only booking! Interesting tour - quality information and recommendations were provided.
Messaged the guide an hour before meeting on the application chat to confirm we were taking the walking tour despite the bad weather. Arrived 10 mins early at the correct meeting point. Waited until 10 mins after the agreed meeting time and messaged guru again to say we were waiting for him. 15 mins after the arranged meeting messaged him to say we wouldn't wait any longer. We had spent 25 mins waiting at the meeting point. We had no replies to any messages from the guide.
I had an incredible experience on the Guruwalk with Caoimhin in Porto! He was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into the city’s rich history and culture. We explored both well-known landmarks and hidden gems that I would have missed on my own. The tour was well-paced, and the guide was engaging, making sure everyone felt involved and answering all our questions with enthusiasm and fun. If you’re visiting Porto, I highly recommend this tour for a unique and insightful way to discover the city!
He was responsive to our interests and also knows Portuguese history very well. He also knows a lot about a number of other countries and uses that to make you feel even more comfortable with him.
