  • Fabulous walking tour around the main areas of Dubrovnik old city.we were able to stop and listen as many times as we needed as there was also written information too

  • A great way to discover the hidden gems in Sorrento. It provides history, cultural context and a flavour of the place. We would have missed so much had we wandered round without this valuable guide. Thank you for the research and information.

Hi, I’m Sergio, a passionate traveler and a proud local of Porto. I’m completely addicted to this magnificent city and love exploring every corner of it. Over the years, I’ve uncovered countless hidden spots—from cozy, tucked-away cafés to secret viewpoints with breathtaking views of the Douro River. Whether it’s sharing the city’s rich history, delicious food, or its quieter, lesser-known treasures, I take great joy in helping others discover the real Porto. Let me show you why this place has my heart!
