“Jeremy was our private guide for a walking tour of Porto, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city and looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable guide. He was punctual and made us feel at ease from the start. As he led us through the central areas of Porto, he shared fascinating stories and historical insights that brought each location to life. What really stood out was his dedication—when one of our group members accidentally left her bag on a bench inside a chapel, Jeremy didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile. He literally ran and climbed several flights of stairs to retrieve it for her.…”
