"In a 360 ° perspective on the City of Porto
Ribeira is one of the oldest and typical sites of the city Porto, next to the Douro River, is part of the Historic Center of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is, at the moment, an area very frequented by tourists and place of concentration of bars and restaurants.
In front of the city of Porto, is the majority of the cellars where, for hundreds of years, Port wine has been aged. The fundamental difference of Port wine in relation to the rest of the wines is the brandy that they include to interrupt the fermentation. Thus, the drink conserves the original sweetness of the grapes maintaining a high level of alcohol. The idea of putting brandy in the wine came in the seventeenth century, when English merchants were interested in buying Portuguese wines, but these wines could not stand the long journeys in the ships that carried them. From there they had the idea of starting to strengthen them with brandy so that they did not spoil.

A perfect guide, a perfect day, perfectly orchestrated. Ability to enjoy & see Porto., Fatima and the final stop, although late, allowed us plenty of time for an uncrowded experience.
Thank you very much for your Review.. Jorge is a Fantastic Guide, and always made the best for our guests. Thank you Eusébio Lima
We loved our private tour with George! He took us in a very comfortable van from Lisbon to Porto and we stopped in Obidos, Nazaré, Fátima, and Coimbra along the way. He was very knowledgeable and a great guide for us. He showed us the best spots for food, pictures, and history. Since it was a private tour, we had a lot of flexibility and I loved that he didn’t rush us and allowed us enough time in each place that we wanted to see. The whole day was from 8:30am to about 6pm. This tour is absolutely worth it! The prices are very fair and you really can’t beat them. Would definitely book with them again in a heartbeat!
Thank you very much for your review... it was a pleasure to have you traveling with us, our Guide Jorge is fantastic and works with a lot of passion and love for Portugal, always thinking of the best for our guests.. I´m so proud to have Jorge on my Team... Regards Eusébio Lima
This was the longest tour we took on our trip to Portugal, but it was definitely worth it to get to see some of the Portuguese countryside, Fatima, Porto, and Obidos. Our guide, Jorge, has a degree in history and is extremely knowledgeable. He filled our day with very interesting information about all of the places we visited and Portuguese history in general. We appreciated that he asked about our goals for the day and adjusted the itinerary to make sure we saw what was of most interest to us. He also made sure to include bathroom pitstops and took us to a lovely restaurant in Porto for lunch, which had seafood options for my husband and vegan options for me. We arrived in Fatima before the crowds and Obidos after the crowds, and this certainly enhanced our experience. Fatima is impressive, and Porto and Obidos look like they are out of a fairytale. We learned so much and appreciate everything Jorge did to make sure we had an interesting and enjoyable day.

It was a great and informative tour. Good communication from the tour operator with regards to the pick up times. Our tour guide, George, was very knowledgable. It's a great tour if you only have one day to explore Porto and it's surrounding. with it being a private tour, it worked well for our family and we could spend time in places that we liked the most. highly recommend it.

I have been on many tours with many different tour guides, but Lima is the best tour guide you will ever have! He was so kind and light hearted and made the trip very entertaining for me and my family. He was very organized, patient and is willing to do anything to make the excursion the best experience. I 100% recommend him to anyone traveling in Portugal!

Had a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Took us to Fatima, Porto, Obidos, Aveiro, and Costa Nova. We enjoyed the tour so much we booked a second day where he took us to Algarve region and we visited Portinao Milamornia and took a speed boat and went by the Caves. Afterwards we had a delightful lunch. We highly recommend this tour service.
