This was a wonderful day trip to Porto from Lisbon. Goncalo could not have made this trip better! His knowledge and kindness were superb! He made us feel comfortable the entire way and constantly asked us questions to make sure we were seeing and doing everything we wanted to in Porto. Do not hesitate to book with Goncalo!!!!
Excellent whirlwind tour of Porto Saw all places though from outside Boat cruise and the Taylors port tasting experience was excellent
My friends and I had a great time with Goncalo. He took the time to explain us everything. He was very friendly and easy going to talk to. I would definitely recommend this tour guide if you are visiting Portugal. Definitely recommending him to my friends and family. Thank you again for the lovely experience! PS: we booked 4 full days with him, and it was worth it :)!
My husband and I enjoyed our private day trip to Porto from Lisbon. What a beautiful city with so much history. We loved the Livraria Lello bookstore—what a treasure. We finalized our trip at the Taylor port tour with tasting which was both educational and delicious port tastings.
We had a fabulous tour with Goncalo! He was amazingly knowledgeable about the area of Lisbon as well as Porto and everywhere in between. He offered every amenity and was extremely accommodating. Wherever we wanted to get out, he made arrangements but also had a perfect itinerary scheduled. He took us to coffee, set our lunch reservations and when our group couldn’t decide on a port wine tour and tasting or river cruise he booked both for us and managed to get all of us to what we wanted and then all gathered up again seemlesly. He was so gracious and helpful, I would recommend him to everyone!
Porto transports you back in time. It is a very picturesque place. On the other hand, our tour guide, Gonzalo, is a very knowledgeable, kind and friendly guy, and he allowed us to make our experience flexible, according to our interests. We loved visiting the most beautiful bookstore in the world, and eating Iberian ham with a glass of wine, while we walked through the local market. We had dinner in front of the river in a restaurant with a spectacular view, and we ended up tasting the adults' port, and the children a glass of sparkling grape juice. One hundred percent recommended!
Goncalo was a wonderful tour guide! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and charming. Everyone in my family truly enjoyed this full day trip to Porto. I highly recommend taking any of the LusaXperience tours with Goncalo. I’m confident he would be an equally amazing guide no matter where you go.

The trip to Porto was amazing and having Goncalo as a tour guide and a driver was amazing! He was engaged and made all the experience positive! He made us safe throughout and ensure we are comfortable! Recommended Port wine tour with Taylor which was a wonderful tour!

Safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’re glad you enjoyed the Port wine tour with Taylor—it’s truly a highlight! Looking forward to welcoming you again on another fantastic journey with LusoXperience.
We are a family of four from San Francisco and today we have the opportunity to travel with Goncalo. Spending a full day to Porto with the expertise of Goncalo. He made everything comfortable and possible! His knowledge of the history ,the safety journey of how he takes us to the road were extremely valuable for our group. My niece and nephew enjoyed the experience and it’s all because Goncalo made it so seamless ! The sights are amazing and the Taylor Port wine tour to end it was on point! We highly recommend Goncalo with our family and friends! 100% perfect private tour!
