Hi everybody, I'm Jonny — your local guide and new friend in Porto!

If you're into great food, local wine, and getting to know the real culture of a city, this tour is for you.

Join me for a fun, flexible, and comfortable city tour, where we’ll explore Porto’s historic center, its famous landmarks, and some hidden corners locals love.

The experience is mostly done by van, with only short and easy walks (around 10–20%), so you can enjoy the city without rushing or getting tired.

We’ll also visit the seafront area, to experience Porto from a different perspective and enjoy the ocean atmosphere. Along the way, I’ll share stories, traditions, and quirky local facts that make Porto such a special place.

This isn’t a scripted tour, but more like traveling with a local friend who loves showing Portugal in an authentic Portuguese way.

I’m looking forward to meeting you — let’s explore together!

Jonny
