During a city tour with me you don't have to look anything up, you get the information presented in an exciting and clear way. The big plus is that in addition to the sights, many other things are talked about. What are social conditions like in Porto and Portugal? What is it like to live with a pension of €280, which some people actually receive? Why are so many houses in prime locations empty in Porto? Which restaurant could you go to tonight? How do I distinguish "tourist traps" from typical Portuguese places? And you will get answers to many other questions that you are welcome to ask during the city tour.
Furthermore, you get to places that you rarely go to as a tourist without a guide. The expertise of a guide who has lived in Porto for a long time and knows some hidden corners is of great benefit.
In German!
