I cannot begin to describe how wonderful this tour with Jose Manuel is! I loved every single minute. Jose is very passionate about photography, his beautiful city Porto, and is an incredible guide. It’s a great opportunity to see this magnificent place through his eyes. The views are stunning and many postcard moments! Highly highly recommend this tour.

Jose was a fantastic guide and tour leader. He is a pleasure to spend time with. Helped a lot with composition and other settings. I contacted him the day before to ask about catching sunrise and he had no problem adjusting the schedule for me. Picked me up early and we went to a great spot near the hotel. I spent two days with him and enjoyed it all.

I spent two afternoons with José.
José’s love and passion for his city is contagious, its is a total delight to see Porto with him, whether you are old, young, a photographer or not, he is so dedicated to what he does that everybody will have a great time with him. Please do yourself a favor, book a tour with José and see magic unfold.
