American living in Porto, Portugal, since 2022. I speak English, French, Spanish and now in my second year of Portuguese language studies. I attended University of California, Los Angeles where I received my bachelor’s degree in art history. My interests include traveling, beaches, museums, theatre, dance, languages and fine dining. I feel my art history background makes me well- equipped to speak about art, architecture, culture and of course history.

Tour description

  1. Let me take you on a tour of historic downtown Porto.  Walk through the old city previously known as Porto Cale by the Romans. Stroll with me and let's enjoy the beautiful historic sites: Carmo Church, University of Porto, Cordoaria Garden, Virtudes Gardens, Clérigos Tower, Livraria Lello, Se Cathedral, as well as the magnificent São Bento train station with it's stunning examples of azulejos (blue tiles).  Learn about murals and their history.  Afterwards, we wander to the Liberty Place and then down to the very special riverside (ribeira) where are tour ends.  I'm very passionate about history and my adopted city and I would love to share it with you.   Happy to give recommendations to bars, restaurants and additional sites upon request.
