You know when you visit a good friend in a far-away place and they say "Yeah, I'll take the day off and we'll go somewhere cool and eat great food and see some interesting sights! I'll pick you up tomorrow at 9! p.s. wear shorts, it's gonna be a warm day" ? Well that's a tour with David Monteiro! First and foremost, David is one of the friendliest and easiest to talk with tour guides I've ever known, it's like we've known him for years. His knowledge of his own country is great, and his willingness to create a tour itinerary specific to your whims is wonderful. He knows 'that little hidden restaurant that makes fantastic (x) for lunch' which we'd *never* find on our own. His black van is awesome - spacious, clean, and big windows to see out of. Did I mention he speaks 5 languages!? His english is absolutely flawless, and his willingness to help us with our own learning of Portuguese language and its unique pronunciations is so very much appreciated. We've done a couple of other day-trip tours with David in previous weeks, too. Would give David 6 stars if I could.

Francisco met us at our boat. He couldn’t have been nicer. Drove us to meet Louis, our Tuk-Tuk driver who took us on a 90 minute tour of the city. We went to small neighborhoods and Louis gave us the history and sense of everyday life in Porto. We had been to the cathedral in the past so he suggested the railroad station. There we saw the most beautiful murals of hand painted tiles. I was mesmerized by the detail. Louis explained what these murals represented. Francisco than picked us up and we were off to the Mercado Market in Matosinhos for a delicious lunch where we picked out our fish and then dined on a delicious meal right in the market. Great local experience and wonderful food and service.

Do you know those moments that you wanted to last forever? A family trip, a honeymoon, the first trip alone, a encounter with whom we love or an encounter with ourselves? Well I'll tell you: there is a "magic formula" that is called photography and, with it, we can perpetuate those moments that don't come back. Let's walk the streets of Porto, make amazing photos and share a unique experience. If you've never taken part in a photo shoot before, I can help you look natural and feel comfortable in front of the camera. And look, there's no need to worry or feel embarrassed about participating in the group experience. They are just normal people wanting good photos. ***This experience is private and if you come as a family, groups of up to 4 people or as a couple, you only need to reserve ONE place. If you have any questions, please, contact me :)
Inclusions: High resolution edited photos
