Great tour of Porto with Paulo - My wife had Paulo on our private half day tour of Porto. Paulo was incredibly kind and knowledgable of his city. Perhaps more importantly, Paulo truly loved his city, and this love displayed as perfectly as passion while he was sharing his gorgeous city with us. Highly recommend the tour, and we highly recommend Paulo!
