The tour with Jose was a really great experience. Jose takes you round areas and streets in Porto that would otherwise be missed if you just follow the tour maps giving you chances to capture unique photos. As a solo traveller I also liked the fact that I was in a small group with other photographers and Jose made us all feel at ease. A great surprise is that Jose also takes photos of the group during the tour giving you great memories to take home with you.

One of the best experiences of my trip was the hours I spent with Jose exploring the streets of Porto!

We had a wonderful morning with José Manuel. His passion for photography and Porto shines through. Book a tour with him and you will be able to explore corners of Porto you will hardly find on your own. Thank you so much for the wonderful morning and for the great pictures! See you next time!

We booked the Half-Day Tour with José for our short trip in Porto and what can I say, we loved it! José is such a kind person with a good eye for great photos as well as historical knowledge about the city. We had very nice talks about traveling, photography etc. Would definitely recommend it! Hopefully we can come back soon for another tour! By the way : the pictures he took during the tour were absolutely stunning and are a great piece of memory!

José is such a kind man besides being a great photographer. Not only did he take me all over Porto to get the best shots, but he and his charming wife joined us for a few miles on our Camino Portugues a few days later! What a wonderful experience.

Avec José Manuel, la visite de Porto est joyeuse, surprenante, inédite, instructive, originale... Nous gardons un merveilleux souvenir et surtout de magnifiques photos dans notre album. Enfin de beaux portraits dans un décor magique ! Je recommande vivement.

For our first visit to Porto, my husband, my parents, and I wanted to see the sights but avoid the typical tours. Our experience with Jose was exactly what we were looking for. We got to see some amazing views and beautiful side streets and had great company along the way. We especially enjoyed stopping for a drink and chatting with Jose. The photos he sent us after were a wonderful bonus!

Pictury Photo tours is the way to go to truly see and appreciate the beauty of Porto and surrounding area. We still cherish the fantastic photos and memories of this tour. And, of course, Jose is such a great guide, super attentive to detail, professional and extremely knowledgeable. An unforgettable experience that we wouldn't hesitate to repeat.

A tour with Pictury Photo Tours is simply wonderful. There is no better way to see Porto whether you are a pro photographer, hobby photographer or just someone who likes to see the best of Porto, on and off the beaten track. Do yourself a favor, just do it, take a tour with PPT, you will never forget the experience.

We spent a wonderful day with Jose in Porto. He showed us places we would never have found in our own (or with a standard tour). In our private group there were some serious photographers and some us who just wanted to collect some visual memories. Jose was perfect for all of us. We can home with great photos we had taken. As an added bonus, about a week after we returned home we received a file with many great pictures that Jose had taken of us.

Une très belle expérience avec José, de superbes photos, de belles explications durant le trajet. Un très beau moment en sa compagnie qui reste un de nos plus beau souvenir de notre voyage au Portugal.

I knew that I made the right choice when I selected Pictury Photo Tours as soon as I met Jose Manuel Santos. His excitement was apparent in his warm welcome even at the ungodly hour of 5 am – the start of my journey and exploration of the marvelous city of Porto. A year in the making, I already knew from our correspondence prior to my trip, that Jose was someone willing to go the extra mile. He accommodated my wish list to visit specific sights in Porto as well as some incredible places in the surrounding areas. His flexibility allowed me to embrace this beautiful city and enjoy its iconic architecture, seascapes and city views, not to mention the opportunity to sample delicious local cuisine while enjoying lively conversation. Jose Manuel Santos is unique with many talents. His inimitable knowledge of his city, unbridled love for Portugal and photographic talent helped shape my vision of this marvelous place. I left Porto with a love equal to his, some magnificent photographs and long lasting memories of the country and our friendship! - Elle from North Carolina

We loved our tour of Porto with Picture Photo Tours. José Manuel Santos showed us around his beautiful city and all the photogenic and hidden places. He also drove us to Douro River Valley and showed us some of the scenic spots.

Think about it. You're in Porto, one of the most incredible places in the world, and know enough to get the cliche postcard shots during your visit. Or, you meet up with master photographer José Manuel Santos to see the hidden Porto, through a local's eyes. Pretty easy decision, and I can safely say that walking with Jose when we visited Porto in 2019 was hands down the highlight of the trip.

Na linda e encantadora cidade do Porto, tivemos o prazer em fazer o passeio com o fotógrafo José Manuel, uma pessoa educada e conhecedora da cultura e lugares nem sempre explorados dessa cidade portuguesa. Momento no qual, passamos por vários lugares interessantes e tivemos a oportunidade de conhecer a cidade com olhares e perspectivas que somente uma pessoa do local poderia nos proporcionar. Recomendamos este passeio a todos que forem à cidade do Porto, pois é uma experiência inesquecível.

Jose와 포르투에서 함께한 시간은 절대 잊을 수가 없습니다. 그는 포르투 최고의 가이드이자 포토그래퍼입니다. 저는 포르투에서 아내에게 결혼 프로포즈를 하였습니다. 그때 Jose가 큰 도움을 주었습니다. 포르투에 간다면 반드시 Jose에게 도움을 받으세요. 최고의 시간을 보낼 수 있을 것이라고 확신합니다. 포르투가 저에게 세계 최고의 도시가 될 수 있도록 해준 Jose에게 감사합니다. I will never forget the time I spent with Jose in Porto. He is the best guide and photographer in Porto. I proposed marriage to my wife in Porto. At that time, Jose was very helpful. If you go to Porto, be sure to get help from Jose. I am sure you will have the best time. Thanks to Jose for helping me make Porto the best city in the world.

It's hard to know how amazing Porto is until you actually visit. It is a most magical place. It is made all the more magical by José, who knows all of the city's secrets. You won't find yourself doing the usual touristy things. Rather, you'll get lost in the quaint little side streets, among the people, sounds, smells and colours that make Porto the very special place it is.

We loved Porto. The highlight of our visit was our time with Jose. He brought us to places that we would never have seen. He told us many things about the city and the country that led to our love of Portugal and its people. We had a tour after our visit with Jose that was part of a 5 star river cruise. It didn't come near what we experienced with Jose. If you do one thing while you are in Porto, make sure that you go on the Tour with Jose! We loved the photos that he took of us during our tour. They made the experience even more memorable.

6 months since my visit, and I still can't say enough about my experience with Pictury Photo Tours. As an amateur photographer, I wasn't even sure a Photo Tour was for me. It turned it out it was exactly what I was hoping for and whole lot more. Not only did I improve my photography skills and capture some striking photos, I saw a side of Porto that I would never have seen with a traditional tour guide. Jose tailored his instruction for a novice like me and took me to places that only a lifelong resident would know existed. If you're a photographer of any skill level, looking for a truly insider's view of Porto, book a tour with Pictury. You won't regret it!

A tour to remember, one day in one of the most beautiful cities of Portugal with a professional guide
