Beleef Porto/Philip highly recommended

Published on Jun, 2024

We spent a weekend in Porto with the company and this was co-organized by Philip from Beleef Porto. I would absolutely recommend Philip as a guide, he ensures that everything runs perfectly in a very reliable and pleasant manner.

Amazing private tour in Porto!

Published on Jul, 2023

Philip was an awesome tour guide through the hills, valleys and the stunning riverfront of beautiful Porto. We also got to meet his partner, Ana. They make a great team! They were both very friendly and informative during a full day walking tour which brought together history (Edward the Navigator!), port wine barrels, a golden church, a park with walking peacocks, hidden side streets and even an impromptu concert by an all-girl band in Harry Potter garb along the magnificent Rebeira! Every monument, centuries old building and park had background stories that we learned about . So much to take in! When we told Ana we wanted to buy some souvenir tiles, we were guided away from the typical souvenir stores and brought to an authentic place where she negotiated in Portuguese to get us the best price. They knew the best places to visit and the ones to avoid (the overrated Harry Potter bookstore!). We were even brought to the outdoor Base Bar for an afternoon cocktail when we needed a break. I strongly recommend Philip and his team for a private tour to truly get the value and appreciation of your investment in visiting this ancient ,beautiful city of Porto!

Thanks to Philip de Wit, we fell in love with Porto

Published on Jul, 2023

We went to Portugal to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and how lucky we were to start our journey in Porto. I had been told about Philip de Wit from a friend who had recently hired him and we had arranged two half-day walking tours that started the afternoon we arrived and continued the next morning. What a great introduction to a wonderful country, filled with fun people, interesting sites, and local flavour provided by Philip and his wife Ana who joined us. He made sure we saw everything and went everywhere. They even got us to take a funicular and walk across the Dom Luis Bridge which I never would have done in a million years but so glad that he wouldn’t let us miss out. He knew all the shortcuts and since we only had 2 days to discover this great city, we enjoyed great laughs, Super Bock beer, these addictive Pastel de nata pastries, and even these huge ugly Portuguese sardines! Aside from being super knowledgeable, they were great company and we left them as friends. We would highly recommend Philip to show you the sites and sounds of a most amazing place. Had we known, we would have stayed longer!
