Ines made the 2.5 h tour fly by! Her engaging storytelling weaved the perfect amount of historical and modern knowledge that showcased her humour and personality. She has an innate ability to read the groups' interests and pace. The tour was an excellent way to get an overview of Porto, and Ines provided all the useful information to plan the rest of your time in Porto - If you want to go for a port tasting tour? Try across the river. The best times to visit Lello? Where to go eat? Check out her recommendations! Ines took the time to connect with everyone in the group, and I appreciated the time she took for the group to introduce themselves. The little tidbits we shared opened up the conversation with my fellow travellers as we walked between the sites. Obrigadro from Canada 🇨🇦!

I would highly recommend this tour. William gave us a fabulous tour of Porto. My favourite bit was the historical overview of Portugal in the train station as the tiles tell the story. William was great fun and full of anecdotes that made the tour interesting and amusing.
