Essential Free walking tours of Porto

Porto is a very interesting city to visit and walk a lot. And having a tour is very helpful. If you already know about the Portuguese, it's even better. Our guide was Raquel, she was great and customized to our preferences. The group was small and we could learn even more.

Thank you for taking just 3 participants, for your time, for all the information and for sharing your personal views. Was a great evening for us

Very good Tour. You have to do it.

Raquel was amazing!!! She was fun and entertaining while imparting lots of knowledge. She also gave us an amazing list of things to see do and eat via email so we didn't have to write anything down. This was the best free walking tour I have done in a while. Highly recommended!!!!

Good tour

Ines is an excellent guide! Very friendly and equally knowledgeable and fun. I'd highly recommend this experience.

Andres provided an excellent overview of Porto and its history! The tour took us to many of the major sites and some great viewpoints! I feel like I gained a great understanding of Porto’s history and learned my way around.

The tour was great and Raquel was an excellent guide, highly knowledgable and polite! Totally worths to book this tour to get a glimpse into Porto’s culture and history!

Excellent tour of the city w Raquel!

The tour was very good I liked the experience. Not too much walking and we had two breaks.

André è stato bravissimo e coinvolgente. Prima ci ha fatto una intelligente introduzione storica e culturale della città di Porto, e poi ci ha mostrato i luoghi previsti dal tour raccontandoci interessanti curiosità. consigliatissimo

I did the tout with Diogo who was an amazing guide. He gave interesting informations and great recommandations.

Pedro was an excellent tour guide. He explained a lot of the history of Porto and provided interesting information without overloading us with too much details. The pace of the tour was just right. Pedro was fantastic and funny. I’m glad I took this tour. It’s too bad I didn’t have more time as I would have taken his tour of Gaia. Best tour of my whole trip to Portugal. And I forgot to ask why he became a tour guide since he was previously a marine biologist :) Maybe next time I come to Porto…

Diogo was the perfect guide for our 2.5 hour walking tour around Porto. At first I thought this might be a little long, but at the end of our walk, I was so happy we chose to do this. Diogo had so much great information about the city of Porto and Portugal. He had such a thoughtful path for our walk, ensuring that we did not have to walk too much uphill (only once!). He was mindful about being too much in the sun, making sure we had shade to stand in (it was not hot in March anyway), and that we could all hear well. He answered all questions we had and shared all the "good, bad, and ugly" about Porto and Portugal, things I really appreciated. He was inclusive, considerate, kind, and so informative. You can tell he has a deep love for his city and country and was enthusiastic about sharing all of this with his visitors. I could not recommend him enough. And please make sure to either have cash to pay him at the end (what you think it's worth - we thought it was very worthwhile), or simply ask him for his PayPal. He doesn't pressure you at all which was really nice, but as someone who enjoyed his guidance, I think it is more than fair to say he should be paid for his time and passion :)

What a great walk to get your bearings of Porto. Raquel gave us a great overview of the history and culture of Porto.

No thrills. When I booked a two and a half hour tour I thought I was going to get a lot of info about Porto and it's POIs. I was bored halfway through the tour and quite disappointed in the places and stops we made.

Caoimhin was very witty while being informative, shared just a perfect amount of information on older and more recent history, and modern social issues, and gave amazing recommendations. This felt anything but generic, and I highly recommend this walking tour!

We were quite lucky because we got a private tour of Caoi, but it was just great! He adapted the tour to our wishes, answered all of our questions and was just a really nice and fun guy. The tour was perfect to get a good impression of the city and to get to know nice spots, we can definitely recommend to take a tour with him!! Thanks a lot!

I couldn't have asked for a better tour. Andre combines humor with every one of his stories and tells it in a really memorable way. You can ask him anything, even not related to the tour and he will have an answer for you. He also speaks great English.

We had a huge pleasure to experience Porto with Natalia as a tour guide. She had great knowledge and shared it with the group in very easy and understandable way engaging us with some quiz questions:) Strongly recommended

Amazing tour that we would definitely recommend. Caoi has a huge knowledge of local history, politics, community, and so on. Accordingly, he is able to both accomodate individual interests and swiftly adapt the tour, and will also provide great tips on what to do, eat, visit, how to get there, etc... So, be sure to book the tour early during your stay, as we had to postpone several recommendations until our next trip to Porto!

An enjoyable and informative tour.

Diogo was a lovely tour guide. He made learning the history fun and engaging. The locations on the tour were great and there was only one hill!

Amazing tour, Raquel was a great guru, interesting and pleasant with a lot of knowledge about the city. The tour is absolutely recommended!

We had Pedro as our guide and he was great! He had awesome stories and facts to share with the group and you could tell he was very passionate about sharing them. Unfortunately on the day, we had terrible weather (rain and wind), but Pedro did very well with redirecting our group to drier places and looking after us! Pedro had a great sense of humour and I really enjoyed how he mixed up the stories (taking facts from different parts of the time line), instead of one long story from start to finish. We ended the tour with learning a wee bit about francesinha‘a (which are a must try when visiting Porto)!
