He brought a personal touch to the tour with lived experience of the city and gave an insight into what makes Porto unique. Would highly recommend the tour for getting to know the place. An added bonus is the recommendations given by Tiago of the restaurants and places to visit which he sent across after the tour and have been great for rest of our visit.”

We stopped for a morning tea break, he remembered everyone’s order and delighted us with Portuguese tarts from the best bakery. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to get their bearings when arriving in Porto and is interested in the rich history. Miguel followed up with an email sharing anything a curious traveler would want to know! The bikes were easy to ride. 10/10 The AB’s”
