We had a 3 hour historical tour of Porto with Andre through Context Travel today, and it was truly exceptional. My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout Europe over the past 25 years and have participated in historical and culinary tours in many major cities, and without hesitation, we can say this was one of the finest & most memorable tours we have ever experienced. Andre’s knowledge of Porto’s history and culture was outstanding. He presented the information in a thoughtful, engaging, and highly memorable way, making the city’s rich history come alive. The pace of the tour was perfect, allowing ample time to appreciate each stop without ever feeling rushed. He customized the tour for us with a few added food and wine tastings per our request, which was incredibly thoughtful & accommodating. Andre introduced us to unique local establishments that we likely would never have discovered on our own, and his insider stories & recommendations were incredible! We highly recommend Context Travel’s tours in Porto, and we would specifically encourage anyone booking a tour to request Andre. He is a wonderful guide and made our visit to Porto unforgettable.

Timm was awesome. We still talk about the tour

Tina was a terrific guide who navigated throughout the Louvre with knowledge, patience, insight, personal stories, and a thoughtful personal statement about art and its relationship to culture. We learned SO much about a variety of topics and really valued how she curated a chronological, thematic, and practical visit to cultural gems. A truly wonderful afternoon among the greats!
