He was very clear on when we would be spending a little time on the history of Port and when we would be moving on to the tasting. My husband and I came away feeling like we understood a LOT more about Port wines because of Alec. His passion for the wine and his country is palpable. If you have the time, I recommend this very enjoyable tour.Written 2 December 2024
- knowsnyc0 contributionsWe did two tours today with Porto WalkersEach tour was “pay what you wish” at the end. Each tour lasted three hours. One covered older history and one covered more modern history. Because it is out of season, each tour was small: 5 and 10 visitors respectively. It was quite easy to hear the guides and to ask questions. Both tours were offered in English. The tour guides were excellent: Joao and Pedro. Each is well-informed and personable. Each ensured we saw many places we otherwise would have missed. Each offers a break during the tour for a snack and a bathroom stop. I am so glad we did these at 10:45 and 15:30. I recommend you do as well. The company is very organized. Sign up online and then look for a red umbrella at the meeting point.Written 2 December 2024

Kevin and Lara were both incredible guides. Kevin took us on a port wine tasting tour and not only knew his port impeccably, but provided the historical context and made it a fun night!
Late took us on a Portuguese gastronomical feast at the Porto market. She was excited, knowledgeable, and provided deep historical and cultural context for our tastings (more like meals!!!) and stroll about town. We loved her personal touch and the rest of her colleagues who had brought us delicacies at every stage of the tour.
We highly recommend Porto Walkers to all visitors! We'll certainly do this again!!! Obrigada

We loved our tour. It was very informative and Alex was amazing - he was personable and knowledgeable. This was one of the best walking tours I’ve done, the list of recommendations Alex gave us after the tour is very useful. Thank you again for a great morning. A break was factored in which was needed after walking around for 2 hours, the tour guide knew some local places to get a coffee and pastry.
I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Porto - if I had time I’d have done the afternoon tour as well but instead we’re enjoying some green wine in the market on Alex’s recommendation!

Fantastic tour and a highlight of our time in Porto. Our guide, Ana and her team with Porto Walking Tours were fun, engaging, and they treated us like old friends. We had such a good time we barely noticed the rainy weather. This tour was a tremendous value with excellent food, just the right amount of history and culture, impressive city sights, superb wine of course, and friendly social interaction. The food and wine samples were very good quality and the portions were exceptionally generous. The guides were fun and engaging. We even made a few new friends on the tour and exchanged contact information. This tour was so enjoyable we will likely do it again on our next visit to Porto.

I did the Port Wine Tour and the Tapas & Vinho Verde Experience and both were amazing - the tour guides have incredible knowledge of wine, food and the history of Porto. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are a fabulous introduction to Porto's culture, wine and food. Definitely best to do these early on in your trip as they also serve as a great way of exploring the city by foot.
Many thanks to Anna and Veronica for sharing their knowledge and love for the city!!

A very good tour. Our guide Barbara was excellent. We were very lucy with the group size, only 4 of us. The trip around the market was good and the tastings were of a good standard. The walking from place to place was fairly easy and at a reasonable pace. Barbara pointed out places and things of interest and her colleges kept appearing with more things to try. We were taken to a bar and the food and wine we tried there was good, in fact we went back at a later date.
This was our first time in Porto and the tour was a good starting point.
It was also good to touch on the social and historic side of Porto.
I would recommend this tour.

Barbara, our guide, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and totally charming. The plan to spend time in the market meeting vendors and enjoying various treats and then onto several stops for more treats from several restaurants and relaxing in parks and at an observation point with desserts was excellent. The food and the wine were fabulous and plentiful. In addition, Barbara informed us about many historical sites. Two other women from Porto Walks met us at several stops with more food and wine. They were all lovely and took such good care of us. We were four sophisticated women and we all loved the afternoon with Porto Walks.

We had such a good time on this tour. From the moment we started at the market to the last stop, we learned a lot about food, wine (not just Vino Verde) and Porto/Portugal. Ana and her team were all very accessible and willing to help us in any way they could which included providing many recommendations along the way regarding things to do, see, eat and drink while in Porto. This was a great, well thought-out experience and one we highly recommend as we know it will be a highlight of our time in Portugal.

it was a really fun 3 hours spent at bolhão market, with desserts and a tavern nearby. the food and wine was really good!
but what made the tour even more enjoyable was because of our tour guide, lara. she was really enthusiastic about the guide, and gave us a history of the location, which made our experience really rich!
she served us really well, and made an effort to get to know the group too. she would often go the extra mile to make sure we’re comfortable, and that we got what we needed.
i would really recommend this tour. thank you so much lara! ♥️

I can’t imagine a better way to spend a day in Porto. It was a really rainy afternoon and Ana and her team were so great at accommodating that and making it as seamless as possible. Very sincere and knowledgeable. Huge amount of food and very generous wine pours.
