Porto Day trip tour - If we could give Rueben 7 stars we would. He was the best guide we ever have had. He had a planned itinerary but when he saw we could not walk much due to injury he adjusted on the fly. He makes sure we saw all the Porto sites with minimal walking. He would drop us off and then park the car and literally run to meet us. He allowed us to change what we were doing based on what we liked. For lunch, he made sure we had a sidewalk table overlooking the river. A very romantic moment for us. We couldn’t imagine spending 10 hours with anyone else.
If you decide to take this tour request Rueben. We look forward to meeting his parents and grandmother next time we come.
Thank you Rueben for such a wonderful experience.
