He made sure even the most nervous member of our group felt safe, and everyone had a great time. Thank goodness for the electronic assist on the bikes - the 7 hills of Lisbon are no joke! You'll be happy that you get to try one of the best pastel de nata in Lisbon as part of the tour - but the entire day is a treat!”

Private 3-hour Best of Porto walk with an English guide, free sights and viewpoints, ending at Avenida dos Aliados.

“Jeremy was our private guide for a walking tour of Porto, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city and looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable guide. He was punctual and made us feel at ease from the start. As he led us through the central areas of Porto, he shared fascinating stories and historical insights that brought each location to life. What really stood out was his dedication—when one of our group members accidentally left her bag on a bench inside a chapel, Jeremy didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile. He literally ran and climbed several flights of stairs to retrieve it for her.…”
