    Your video about my City, Porto, is the best one I saw ever! I was just dreaming with your fabulous text and voice, the first time I heard an angel voice, calm and clear. Well done. Return more times to extend the visit to Atlantic Front (Foz e Matosinhos) and to Serralves Park and Museum - authentic jewels of the Porto touristic crown! A hearted hug for you!

      Wow !!!
      I feel pride of my home town, but after watching your beautiful video my pride level rose...
      Well done !
      The vibrant colours and the sharp photography really shows what Porto really looks like.
      One small but very important remark: you forgot to mention that what makes Porto really special are the locals. We are known to be the friendliest people in all Portugal. We are unique !
      Hope you come back soon for more. You must see our beaches, Serralves, Ribeira, Livraria Lello, Casa da Música...so many poi's you forgot to visit.

      We stayed close to Batalha Square which is very centrally located but not in the heart of the tourist area so the restaurants were more reasonably priced.

    thanks for the video. It may seem a small thing but it is so good to see the presenter who is not a young glamorous couple. I am not in that demographic so I'm well over the abundance of this age and presentation style. V popular I'm sure but they don't speak 'to' me.

    Hi! I'm planning to travel to Porto next month and after watching your video it seems amazing! A few questions though... Did you go on any guided tours (inside or outside the city centre)? do you need to book tickets in advance to see any of the places? AND how is the weather? :D

    • @Farawaynow
      @Farawaynow  2 роки тому +2

      So the weather in June or July will be perfect. Warm and mostly dry. It is already really nice here now. We only did one tour and that was down to the Douro wine regions (we booked on Airbnb). You can get there with a rental care or the train too but we are glad we did the tour as we got to see a lot in a day and lots of good info. In the city it is very easy to do everything without a tour, but if you only have a short amount of time a city walking tour would be very helpful. We didn't book anything in advance. Thanks for your comment, I hope you have a great time in Porto!
