Your Local Guide
Hi, I’m Carlos. Glad you’re here, thank you for stopping by.
I’m from Braga, studied in Guimarães, and in recent years I’ve made Porto my adopted home. The North isn’t just where I live, it’s what I love showing the most.
Porto, Braga, Guimarães. I know every corner, every story, every hidden tavern. The North tastes better when shared, especially with friends.
I love Northern Portugal and can’t wait to show it to you. One city or all three… you choose. Shall we explore?

Stories from Those Who've Walked With Me

What can I say? Carlos is a star! Full of stories, always with a joke, and the kind of guide who makes you forget you’re even walking. My whole family loved it! From the kids to the grandparents. And trust me, the kids are not easy to impress! We left with a completely different view of Porto. Already planning to come back with friends. Highly, highly recommended!
James and Sofia, Sydney
We did the Braga and Guimarães tours with Carlos and it was incredible. He took us beyond the main sights and shared stories you won’t find in any guidebook. Bom Jesus in Braga felt even more magical with his insights, and Guimarães came alive in a way we never expected. If you want to truly understand the north of Portugal, spend time with Carlos.
Thomas K., Berlin
I wasn’t sure if a guided tour was worth it since we had already explored Porto on our own. What a surprise! Carlos took places we thought we knew and revealed layers we never imagined existed. It made all the difference. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth it, it absolutely is!
David and Anna, New York
What impressed us most was how Carlos brought history to life in such an engaging and accessible way. In just two hours, we covered centuries of history. From the founding of Portugal to the unique character of Porto today. The tiles at São Bento station will never be just ‘pretty tiles’ for us again. For anyone who values historical context and local insight, this tour is a must.
Emily R., Toronto
We’ve been to Porto several times and thought we knew the city. Carlos proved us completely wrong! He showed us details we had walked past countless times without noticing. The stories behind the São Bento tiles were unforgettable. We left with a whole new love for Porto. Thank you for such a memorable experience.
Claire & Michael, Vancouver
Braga surprised us in the best possible way. We came for the famous Bom Jesus staircase, but we left with so much more. Carlos showed us the layers of this city, from its ancient Roman roots to its deep religious traditions. In a way that felt personal and never overwhelming. Standing at the top of Bom Jesus, watching the sun set over the city, hearing the stories behind each step… it was one of those moments that stays with you. If you want to feel Braga, not just see it, this tour is a must.
Sarah & Mark, London
Carlos is an amazing guide! His walking tour of Porto was the highlight of our trip. Funny, knowledgeable, and full of great stories. Highly recommend!
Sarah J., Melbourne
I thought I knew Guimarães from reading about it, but walking through it with Carlos was a completely different experience. He has this way of making history feel alive like the city itself was telling its own story. We spent hours wandering through the medieval center, and not once did it feel like a history lesson. It felt like exploring with a passionate local friend who happens to know everything about Portugal’s origins. The castle, the Palace of the Dukes, the winding streets… all unforgettable. Can’t recommend this enough!
