Realicé la mitad de la actividad porque me descompensé y una médica integrante del grupo sugirió con buen criterio que suspenda la actividad. La guía sra Fernanda se portó excelente, me asistió cuando me sentí mal y me consiguió un taxi para volver al hotel cuando la médica del grupo lo sugirió. Muy agradecido a Fer, a la sra médica española y a los integrantes del grupo que se mostraron siempre solidarios no obstante que les importuné la actividad. Translate this opinion into English.

I only completed half of the activity because I became ill, and a doctor in the group wisely suggested I cancel the activity. The guide, Ms. Fernanda, was excellent; she helped me when I felt ill and got me a taxi back to the hotel when the group doctor suggested it. I'm very grateful to Fer, the Spanish doctor, and the group members who were always supportive even though I bothered them about the activity. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia es positiva. Comenzó con una explicación histórica muy interesante pero quizás muy condensada para quien no está acostumbrado (si sabes ya un poco o realmente te gusta se hace muy ameno). El recorrido está muy bien planeado y Federico atendió todas las preguntas de todo tipo. Habló de historia, gastronomía, lugares, anécdotas… Ha sido todo agradable y se ha hecho corto. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was positive. It began with a very interesting historical explanation, but perhaps too condensed for those unfamiliar with it (if you already know a little or are really interested, it's very enjoyable). The tour was very well planned, and Federico answered all our questions. He talked about history, gastronomy, places, anecdotes... It was all pleasant and short. Opinion translated. Show original.

Enrique fue el guía perfecto para poder disfrutar y descubrir Oporto. Dinámico y entretenido haciendo que 2h 30’ de tour parezcan 20’. Buena experiencia para empezar a conocer esta maravillosa ciudad gracias a todas las explicaciones y detalles históricos que han hecho el tour mucho más completo y divertido. Translate this opinion into English.

Enrique was the perfect guide for enjoying and discovering Porto. Dynamic and entertaining, he made a 2.5-hour tour feel like a 20-minute tour. A great way to start getting to know this wonderful city, thanks to all the explanations and historical details that made the tour much more comprehensive and fun. Opinion translated. Show original.

Realizamos el tour de Oporto con la Perez y la verdad que la guía fue un encanto. Supo trasmitir los conocimientos de la ciudad de forma divertida y amena. Quedamos encantados con todo los conocimientos que nos trasmitió y la forma de trasmitirlos. Volveríamos a repetir sin duda un tour con la Perez por la forma de trasmitir los conocimientos. Además fue súper amable compartiendo lugares que visitar, sitios donde comer comida típica y muchas más cosas de interés turístico. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the Porto tour with Perez, and the guide was truly delightful. She was able to convey her knowledge of the city in a fun and engaging way. We were delighted with all the knowledge she shared with us and the way she imparted it. We would definitely repeat a tour with Perez again because of her way of sharing her knowledge. She was also incredibly kind, sharing places to visit, places to eat traditional food, and many other tourist attractions. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido un tour recomendable 100% Paola nos ha explicado muchísimas cosas muy interesantes y ha hecho muy ameno el recorrido por los sitios tan emblemáticos que nos ha descubierto de esta ciudad tan bonita que es Porto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias a ella nos hemos centrado en la ciudad y ha sido más fácil recorrerla por nuestra cuenta. Nunca dudamos en contratar civitatis vayamos donde vayamos ya que todos sus guías están muy bien preparados y nunca defraudan. Muchas gracias Paola!!! Translate this opinion into English.

It was a highly recommended tour. Paola explained so many interesting things to us and made the tour of the iconic sites she discovered in this beautiful city of Porto very enjoyable! Thanks to her, we were able to focus on the city itself, making it easier to explore on our own. We never hesitated to book CiVitatis wherever we went, as all of their guides were very knowledgeable and never disappointed. Thank you so much, Paola! Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad estuvo bastante amena y muy bien explicada, , aunque no me gustó que repitiese tres ocasiones lo de la importancia de valorar su trabajo y y darle la aportación que se merecía creo que con una vez al principio queda más que claro. De hecho, al día siguiente, hicimos otro Tour de las mismas características gratis con aportación a nuestro criterio y en ningún momento nombró la aportación económica. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was quite enjoyable and very well explained, although I didn't like the fact that he repeated three times about the importance of valuing their work and giving them the support they deserved. I think that once at the beginning it was abundantly clear. In fact, the next day, we did another tour of the same nature for free with a contribution at our discretion, and at no point did he mention the financial contribution. Opinion translated.

Muy buena experiencia. Paola una maravilla . Aparte de ser una chica muy agradable nos a dado mucho indicativos para disfrutar de oporto tanto sitios para comer como cosas para ver. Y nos a explicado perfectamente toda la historia de oporto de manera divertida y fluida . Y sobre todo quedarme con la parte que a explicado de la historia de Lisboa que a sido maravilloso. A sido una buena caminata pero merece la pena Translate this opinion into English.

A very good experience. Paola was wonderful. Besides being a very nice woman, she gave us lots of tips on how to enjoy Porto, both places to eat and things to see. And she perfectly explained the history of Porto to us in a fun and fluid way. And above all, I'm impressed by the part she explained about the history of Lisbon, which was wonderful. It was quite a hike, but it's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Irene ci ha spiegato molto bene, in modo chiaro e simpatico, tanti aspetti della città di Porto che, altrimenti, ci sarebbero sfuggiti. Con le guide di Civitatis ho visitato anche Lisbona, trovandomi molto bene. In genere si tratta di giovani, come Irene, molto preparati e appassionati del loro lavoro. Translate this opinion into English.

Irene explained to us very well, clearly, and pleasantly, many aspects of Porto that would otherwise have escaped our attention. I also visited Lisbon with Civitatis guides, and I had a great time. They are generally young, like Irene, highly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Opinion translated. Show original.

A la llegada a la ciudad el primer día decidimos hacer este free tour y fue genial.

Demasiada historia antigua y nada de lo interesante que hay que ver acá Contó todas las batallas que no interesan a nadie y no sé a qué mirador nos llevó Pasamos por bonitos lugares sin saber porque los edificios son así o algo relacionado a lo que veíamos Le puso onda pero es historiadora no guia

Too much ancient history and none of the interesting things to see here. She told of all the battles that no one is interested in and I don't know what viewpoint she took us to. We passed by beautiful places without knowing why the buildings are like that or anything related to what we were seeing. She was cool but she's a historian, not a guide.

El objetivo de este free tour es introducir a los participantes en la historia y los principales emplazamientos de la ciudad. Sentimos si no estuvo a la altura de lo esperado. Para recorridos más detallados y personalizados, se ofrecen visitas guiadas a precios más que razonables. Translate this opinion into English.

Tiago's English-speaking tour of Porto was a great start to my trip. It was really informative - especially in terms of giving an historical context to the city - and Tiago was an amusing and knowledgeable guide. He was happy to share details of his personal experience of living in Porto and how it's changed over time, as well as emailing sight-seeing tips and a playlist!

Excelente es poco. Tuvimos la suerte de tener como guía a Enrique. Español de Navarra que lleva años viviendo en Oporto. Y además de conocer la ciudad, es historiador. Con eso, te cuenta hasta el más mínimo detalle durante el tour y te transporta a la época. Además, te da recomendaciones donde comer, beber y lugares para visitar. Sin duda, la visita a Oporto fue un antes y un despues tras este free tour. Si visitas Oporto, este free tour es un imprescindible. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent is an understatement. We were lucky to have Enrique as our guide. He's a Spaniard from Navarre who has lived in Porto for years. Besides knowing the city, he's also a historian. With that, he tells you every last detail during the tour and transports you back in time. He also gives you recommendations on where to eat, drink, and visit. Without a doubt, our visit to Porto was a turning point after this free tour. If you're visiting Porto, this free tour is a must. Opinion translated. Show original.

Siamo stati guidati da Gonzalo, alias Freddy Mercury o Nasoni. Il tour è stato molto interessante, le spiegazioni chiare e ben esposte, nonostante la guida non fosse di lingua madre italiana. Ma quello che ci è piaciuto di più è stata la passione con cui Gonzalo ha raccontato la fine della dittatura di Salazar e Caetano: ci siamo commossi insieme a lui! Infine ottimi suggerimenti e consigli su Porto inviati a ciascuno tramite l' email. Translate this opinion into English.

We were guided by Gonzalo, aka Freddy Mercury or Nasoni. The tour was very interesting, with clear and well-presented explanations, despite the guide not being a native Italian speaker. But what we loved most was Gonzalo's passion as he recounted the end of the Salazar and Caetano dictatorships: we were moved along with him! Finally, excellent tips and advice on Porto were sent to each of us via email. Opinion translated. Show original.
