We had the most fantastic time with Leo, our tour guide. We learnt all about the old city and visited some beautiful viewing spots up above Lisbon. We had the freedom to ask to stop where we liked along the way. It was a wonderful trip with a brilliant tour guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Thank you so much for making our day.
Sounds like you had an absolutely brillant day out – so glad you soaked up the old city and those gorgeous viewpoints! Just a little heads-up though: our Explorial tours are actually self-guided through the app, so there's no live guide like Leo on our end – it looks like this lovley review might have landed on the wrong listing. Either way, we'd love to have you explore Porto (or anywhere) at your own pace with us one day. Wishing you loads more trips as good as this one! Your Explorial Team
We had a great time! It’s a lovely, inexpensive way to discover the city a bit at your own pace and to interact a bit with the sights. We’ll definitely be doing this again in other cities!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Really enjoyed our first scavenger hunt. Took us a while to complete as we stopped off and had lunch and detoured around the area
Dear Joanne, We are glad that you enjoyed the scavenger hunt and that you followed the spirit of it and took time to enjoy the city, while playing. We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities. Have a nice day.
Very difficult to use and there is no navigation embedded in the app so you are seeing pictures of buildings you don’t know and no way to navigate to an area without using another app. Waste of time. We ended up doing a tuk tuk tour instead which was much better.

Loved solving the puzzles and visiting all the monuments. A good way to see the city center and educate yourself.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
The clues took us off the beaten path, and suddenly we’re discovering all these great places of Porto. My partner and I loved and recommended it 100%, it is a fun day out.

Our group had an amazing time exploring the city using the app. We liked all the challenges and games, although walking through Porto was a bit of a hike going up and down the streets. Still very good experience.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Great way to get around Porto! My girlfriend and I loved it! Definitely a must when travelling to a new city for the first time.
