We had a fantastic tour with Nuno. We went to places where normal tourists never visit. It was a individual tour and Nuno told us lots of interessting historical things about the city. To visit Porto with Nuno was the best decision we did! It was great!

“Tiles of Porto - a walking tour by Nuno”

“Excellent Tour + Professional Guide”

In 2012 we toured Porto in a flash. Its magical beauty, gorgeous riverfront, vibrant atmosphere and irresistible pastries and BBQ chicken lured us back in June for a week-long reunion.

We visited Lisboa and Macau (near Hong Kong, a Portugal colony until 1999) several times and always love their decorative ceramic tiles, - azulejos in Portuguese. So the walking tour “Tiles of Porto” is a must – and what a delight it turned out to be.

Nuno, the guide, is an architect, a history buff, a researcher of Portugal tiles, a musician and a polyglot all in one. His erudite knowledge about the history of Portugal ceramic tiles, the evolution of the manufacture process and the famous artists and their masterpieces made the tour both entertaining and educational. These topics resonated with my own knowledge in the history and production processes of Chinese porcelain.

The tour covered many sites and Nuno’s systematic presentation led us through the fundamentals of Portugal tiles, their functions and architectural applications, the preservation program, and the indicative process to distinguish good tiles from bad. All artists make mistakes and Nuno showed us some profoundly hilarious bloopers.

On top of all these, after the tour, Nuno diligently followed-up with further detailed information of the artists and a map of the tour for reference.

If you visit Porto, make sure you book a tour with Nuno. Besides Tiles of Porto, he conducts several other tours and excursions.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

My husband and I joined Nuno and Stefani for a dinner workshop. Nuno met us at the metro and walked us to his house, where he had 4 different wines and different cheese waiting! 
It was so fun to learn how to prepare different Portuguese food and learn about wine, we will definitely take these recipes home with us!! 
Not only did we learn how to cook and got entrees, mains and dessert, Nuno taught us so much about the history of Porto and Portugal and drew us a map of what to see in our few days here! Then he took us out and showed us a few bars in town which was also made it an all round awesome night!
I Highly recommend!!!!!
