Great Harry Potter walking tour with Vinicius

Published on Dec, 2024

Fun tour with Vinicius, regardless how great fan/expert you are of Harry Potter. The tour is very accessible and interactive. It has facts and spots that are not covered in standard Porto walking tours. It also includes a quiz, and ends near the Livraria Lello.

This is how all city tours should be

Published on Dec, 2024

Even as a solidly middle aged man who never got into Potter (my kids are fans), I couldn’t have been happier with the tour. Vinny’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and he gave us a unique, fun, yet still informative introduction to the city without the overload of (usually forgettable) info that standard city tours come with. 10/10 highly recommend

Unforgettable magical- Vini the Wizard!

Published on Dec, 2024

Vinicius the wizard! Vinicius has truly curated a wonderful experience to explore the beauty of Porto with a touch of Harry Potter. As you will learn through this tour, there are a lot of interesting links to Porto and the Harry Potter world from a historical//anecdotal level but also from a metaphorical level. I was amazed to find out the lengths of Vinis research on both the city and J.K Rowling world. Vini is a master storyteller, it really felt I met an old friend diving into seamless conversations that transcended both Porto and the Harry Potter world but also insightful discussions on culture, life and other aspects of history and society. I’ve never met such an engaging storyteller who can make you laugh with a witty joke, surprise you with an obscure fact or bring a lump to your throat when discussing matters of love, life and death. It was truly an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to everyone, plus I guess I’ve never met anyone with such great Harry Potter IQ! The quiz was by far the hardest which he took at the end of the trip Keep your magic on, wizard Vini!

Awesome!!!!!

Published on Dec, 2024
