I appreciated how the tour balanced real historical context with the references to the books. It wasn’t just about pointing out similarities, but explaining how certain places may have influenced ideas and atmosphere. It made wandering through the city streets much more engaging.

The guide was enthusiastic without overdoing it, which made the experience enjoyable for everyone in the group. Some locations were subtle connections, others more obvious, but together they created a coherent and entertaining route through Porto.
