Tour ameno e interesante, las dos horas se pasan muy rapido. Durante el recorrido visitas algunos de los lugares donde ocurrieron las historias y leyendas que te van contando. André, nuestro guía, lo hizo genial y explicaba todo con mucha ilusión. Nos gustó hacer este tipo de tour menos convencional y conocer la ciudad desde otro punto de vista. Lo recomendaría!

A pleasant and interesting tour; the two hours flew by. During the tour, you visit some of the places where the stories and legends you hear about took place. André, our guide, was fantastic and explained everything with great enthusiasm. We enjoyed this less conventional tour and seeing the city from a different perspective. I would recommend it!

Excelente recorrido por el centro histórico de Oporto Ian es un guía encantador, cercanísimo y muy ameno, cuyo sentido del humor hizo que las 2,5 horas de tour se nos pasaran volando mientras nos explicaba la historia y las mejores curiosidades de la parte vieja de la ciudad de forma sumamente entretenida.

Muy recomendable este tour. Me gustó mucho visitar algunos sitios emblemáticos de la ciudad pero centrados en las leyendas y cuentos populares. Lo recomiendo especialmente si buscas algo un poco menos convencional o si eres fan del true crime. Nuestro guía fue André y lo hizo genial :) Translate this opinion into English.

I highly recommend this tour. I really enjoyed visiting some of the city's iconic landmarks, but with a focus on legends and folk tales.

Herminio ha sido un guia muy entregado, se nota que disfruta con las historias que cuenta y lo hace muy ameno. Lo único en este tipo de free tour es que si van familias con niños menores de 14 años hay que omitir datos e historias, yo hubiera querido saber más cosas de alguna de las historias que nos explicó pero en nuestro grupo había varios niños y eso limitó determinados temas. Translate this opinion into English.

Herminio was a very dedicated guide; you can tell he enjoys the stories he tells and makes them very engaging. The only thing about this type of free tour is that if you're with families with children under 14, you have to omit some details and stories. I would have liked to know more about some of the stories he told us, but there were several children in our group, which limited certain topics. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue un tour increíble. Se notaba que al guía le apasionaba lo que hacía y eso hacía que cada historia fuera súper interesante. Sabía muchísimo y tenía una forma de contar las cosas que te mantenía enganchada todo el tiempo. Aprendimos un montón sobre la parte menos conocida de la historia de Oporto: leyendas, la historia de la comunidad judía, las persecuciones por brujería, guerras y muchos otros detalles que normalmente Translate this opinion into English.

It was an incredible tour. You could tell that the guide was passionate about what he did, and that made every story super interesting. He knew so much and had a way of telling things that kept you engaged the whole time. We learned a lot about the lesser-known part of Porto's history: legends, the history of the Jewish community, witch hunts, wars, and many other details that are usually Opinion translated.

El guía lo hizo muy bien. Explicaba genial y se esforzaba mucho. Sin embargo, el contenido no refleja el nombre del tour. Si en la ciudad de Oporto no hay suficientes cosas como para hacer un tour de mitos/leyendas… o de Oporto oculto, no deberíais engañar con el contenido para que la gente lo contrate. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide did very well. He explained wonderfully and put in a lot of effort. However, the content does not reflect the name of the tour. If there aren't enough things in the city of Porto to do a tour of myths/legends... or of hidden Porto, you shouldn't mislead with the content to get people to book it. Opinion translated.

Realizamos el free tour con Doa y fue perfecto. Un paseo lleno de historias poco conocidas (para los extranjeros) super interesantes que hicieron que las dos horas y media se nos pasaran volando. También nos enseñó lugares de la ciudad y detalles en los que jamás nos habríamos fijado. ¡Definitivamente un acierto de free tour con una guía excelente! Translate this opinion into English.

We did the free tour with Doa and it was perfect. A walk full of little-known (to foreigners) super interesting stories that made the two and a half hours fly by. She also showed us places in the city and details that we would have never noticed. Definitely a great choice for a free tour with an excellent guide! Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy buen tour y sobre todo muy buena guía turística. Doania fue nuestra guía. A pesar de que no se presentase la gente al lugar de encuentro y solo estabamos mi pareja y yo, cumplió haciéndonos el tour igual. Explicaciones muy buenas e interesantes. Muy amable y cercana, dándonos todas las recomendaciones de lugares donde comer y de sitios que visitar. Translate this opinion into English.

A very good tour and, above all, a very good tour guide. Doania was our guide. Even though no one showed up at the meeting point and it was just my partner and me, she still gave us the tour. Her explanations were very good and interesting. She was very friendly and approachable, giving us great recommendations for places to eat and places to visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

André fue un guía estupendo y nos contó historias fascinantes sobre la ciudad. Al hacerse el tour por la tarde, pudimos acceder a varios sitios con mucha menos gente que por la mañana. Nos encantó conocer esas historias más oscuras de Porto y alguna que otra curiosidad. Repetiría sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

André was a fantastic guide and told us fascinating stories about the city. Because the tour was in the afternoon, we were able to visit several sites with far fewer people than in the morning. We loved learning about Porto's darker history and other interesting tidbits. I would definitely do it again. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía fantástico (un gallego que lleva 8 años en Oporto), hizo la actividad amena y divertida. Realmente se trata de una actividad de misterios y leyendas. Hicimos la misma actividad en Lisboa, y no trataba de misterios y leyendas de Lisboa, era más bien una historia del barrio de Alfama Translate this opinion into English.

The fantastic guide (a Galician who's been living in Porto for eight years) made the activity enjoyable and fun. It's truly a tour about mysteries and legends. We did the same tour in Lisbon, but it wasn't about Lisbon's mysteries and legends; it was more of a story about the Alfama district. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cierto que te enseñan calles que no verías por tu cuenta, pero las historias que cuentan algunas están bien y otras en este caso la última se nos hizo muy larga y pesada y yo creo que a todo el grupo. El guía se le notaba que le encantaba poder transmitir todos sus conocimientos. Translate this opinion into English.

It's true that they show you streets you wouldn't see on your own, but the stories some of them tell are good, while others, in this case the last one, felt very long and heavy, and I think the whole group felt the same.

El tour con Sergio fue dinámico y muy entretenido. La idea de este tour de lo “oculto” es muy buena. Nos mantuvo atentos las dos horas y media a pesar del cansancio. Es un máquina .

The tour with Sergio was dynamic and very entertaining. The idea behind this "hidden" tour is excellent. He kept us engaged for the entire two and a half hours despite our fatigue. He's fantastic.

Our guide, Andrés, a very nice Portuguese man, told us various stories, some true and others… well, he left that up to each person's interpretation.

Una experiencia de 10/10, en gran parte gracias a nuestro guía, Herminio. Desde el primer momento consiguió engancharnos con su forma de contar la historia: cercana, dinámica y muy envolvente. Se nota muchísimo que le apasiona lo que hace, porque no solo explica, sino que interpreta, se mete en el papel y hace que cada historia cobre vida de una manera especial. He hecho varios free tours y, sinceramente, Herminio es con diferencia el mejor guía que hemos tenido... mis amores... Translate this opinion into English.

A 10/10 experience, thanks in large part to our guide, Herminio. From the very first moment, he captivated us with his storytelling: engaging, dynamic, and incredibly immersive. It's clear he's passionate about what he does, because he doesn't just explain, he acts, he gets into character, and he brings each story to life in a unique way.
