Top notch Porto tour!

5.00We had a wonderful time and our tour guide (Rita?) was fantastic. She was so good at explaining the history and the importance of the site...and she was funny too! We told her we had to leave the tour an hour early and she was so accommodating and did a great job navigating the tour so can we can see as much as we could in 2+ hours! Highly recommend the tour with Blue dragon!

Ramon is the BEST tour guide we’ve ever had!

5.00Our family of six adults unanimously agrees that we had the best tour ever, thanks to our incredible guide, Ramon Martinez! Ramon is exceptionally knowledgeable about Porto and Portugal’s history, culture, and restaurants, but what truly sets him apart is how he goes far beyond the role of a typical tour guide. He gave us an authentic glimpse into local life while sharing the beauty and charm of Porto. Ramon presented the history and culture in a way that was both fascinating and engaging, keeping all six of us interested from start to finish. His passion for Portugal shines through in every part of the tour, and his wonderful sense of humor made the experience even more enjoyable. At the end of the tour, all six of us applauded Ramon—a testament to how much we appreciated his expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality. We wholeheartedly recommend joining his tour. Ramon is simply outstanding, and our time with him was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal!

5.00This was a highly enjoyable and informative 3 hour walking tour of the historic centre of Porto that showcased it’s main attractions including majestic cathedrals, the riverfront with it’s spectacular bridges, historic monuments, the beautiful Sao Bento railway station and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ribeiro neighborhood. Our tour guide Rita was personable, engaging and passionate about Porto. She was extremely knowledgeable about the colourful history and diverse culture of Porto and proved to be a wonderful ambassador to this vibrant city. The communication and instructions about the tour from the tour company “Bluedragon” was excellent. The cost of the tour was reasonable and included having refreshments at the ornate Cafe Majestic. This is a tour that I would definitely recommend.
