Thiago was a wonderful...
Published on Dec, 2024
Thiago was a wonderful guide. He has wonderful stories, a great sense of humor. We felt we saw a good cross section of Porto on our tour. He was able to give us historical information on religion, architecture, and key important sites in Porto. He also gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see in Porto and Matosinhos. We had an opportunity to do a wine and Port tasting at the end of our tour. The tasting room was affiliated with a small wine sho selling local wine and port. Would highly recommend Thiago

Geweldige tour met Thiago Costa
Published on Oct, 2024
What a great tour we had with Thiago. Even before we arrived in Porto there was good contact, for example he inquired what we expect from Porto and responded to this during the tour. He also helped us on our way with tips for a restaurant on our first evening and information about buying tickets of the sights.
The tour itself was very nice, Thiago has a lot of knowledge and interest in the history of Porto and shares this with you. It came in handy at a later time! You could also tell that he liked a joke and that was very much in line with who we are. Afterwards we had a nice tasting at a local entrepreneur. Thiago took pictures of us during the tour and we received them together with more tips to do what suited us.
If we visit Porto again, we will definitely call on Thiago again, there is so much more to discover!
