Perambulating Around Porto
One of the best decisions we made for our Spain and Portugal trip was to sign up for a Tours by Locals tour in Porto. As the name implies, tours are led by local residents who may not be professional tour guides but who nevertheless have intimate knowledge of their hometown and also some expertise in a particular area, be it history, art or food and wine. Well in advance of our trip, I went online to the website, typed in the city I wanted to visit and then scanned through a wide range of tours. Some are as short as 90 minutes while others may take up a full day. One can choose from walking or vehicle tours, and profiles of the guides allow you to get to know a bit about them and read reviews from previous clients.
