We had a private 6 hour walking tour of Porto with our wonderful guide Mayinka. She showed us the “must see” areas of her city, explaining the history and cultural background as stopped to explore. We also explored different areas that were not touristy, but just as lovely.

Mayinka, is a wonderful person!! She gave us an excellent 6 hour guided walking tour of Porto. We covered most of the “must see” areas of Porto, enjoying the history and culture. We were never in a rush, and enjoyed getting to know Mayinka and what she loves about Porto. She showed us some of her favourite areas which were pleasant surprises and unique which we would never have found on our own. Thank Mayinka for a wonderful and memorable day!

Notre guide Mayinka…a respecté notre demande…puisque nous restions à Porto pour 1 semaine, nous voulions une visite qui sortait des trappes à touriste …nous avons visiter des parcs, des petites rues sympa , petits restos et des endroits magnifiques …moins connu des touristes …nous avons adoré notre journée. Our guide Mayinka... respected our request... since we were staying in Porto for 1 week, we wanted a visit that was out of the tourist traps... we visited parks, nice little streets, small restaurants and magnificent places... less known to tourists…we loved our day.
