Fun and engaging - well worth it! - Gregorio, our guide, was fantastic! So knowledgeable about the city and its history. He had a great sense of humor and he made the tour really fun. It was a great way to get acquainted with the city on our first day. We saw some places we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. There were some nice surprises at the end of the tour too. The next day we went back to the office and they were able to help us find a good restaurant nearby. Highly recommend!

Definitely worth it - Gregorio was an awesome and knowledgeable guide with great sense of humor. The pace and amount of information imparted was perfect. The walking was well planned to lessen the hills- greatly appreciated. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t handle (or admit he didn’t know).

How to get to know old Porto (at least a bit) in 3 hours - A well informed guide and a mist for a first time visit to a city such as Porto. A good mix of informative stops and the walking bit. We visited some of the additional recommendations the following day too.

Very good way to get a first look at Porto. - It was a good walking tour, a bit too difficult to go up and down the hilly streets.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and attentive.

Great overview - Great overview of the history of the city, with a knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English. There is quite a bit of walking uphill, so may not be suitable for anyone with mobility restrictions. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Porto & Portugal Served Up Very Well - Elise was a wonderful guide. She is very well versed in all aspects of both Porto and Portugal history and culture. Starting at a train station initially sounded a bit unusual to me. However, once you enter the station and see history displayed on the beautiful tiles, you immediately understand why you're there. One caution - be ready for some up and down hill climbing. It's not too terrible, just a bit challenging!
