Tour Reviews
Norberto was so accommodating from the moment I contacted him several months ago. We only had 1 free afternoon in Porto and he managed to switch with another couple to take us. His knowledge of the history of Portugal was amazing. He presented everything in chronological order so it was easy to follow. I can see why he used to be a history teacher. In the 5 hours we spent with him we had a relaxing but thorough tour of the cradle of the Portuguese nation. We learned not only the history of this amazing country but also the current culture. I’ll be back and not hesitate to contact Norberto to show me more to the fascinating Porto area.
Excellent tour guide and person. Explanations were simple but thorough. Norberto was respectful and he offered good advices for lunch. He also gave us free time. With no doubt we will choose him for another tour.
