Fabio is an excellent driver and guide. We had the opportunity to use his service in Porto several times. Each and every time, he was careful, courteous, and, most importantly, punctual. His command of English was top-notched. Fabio planned his routes to the destinations well and when he was driving, missing our scheduled flights or appointments never came to mind. He was flexible in making additional stops, on an impromptu basis, according to our needs. He was knowledgeable about Portugal and introduced to us many interesting places, customs and foods. We recommend his service without hesitation; he serves his clients well.

Fabio picked us up from Porto airport for a transfer to the city. He went above and beyond, providing us with recommendations for restaurants, bars, and things to do in the city. He even sent me some links on WhatsApp later on. He genuinely enhanced the whole experience and was friendly and welcoming, offering help if we needed it. We booked him for the transfer back to the airport and will be using him again when we are next in Porto. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thanks a lot 😎

Fabio, give the best travel advice for Porto, Portugal and the surrounding area! My partner and I used his transportation services and not only did we get safe and reliable ride but we got amazing insight for exploring the area. I highly recommend using Fabio’s services!

I wish I could give 10 stars. Fabio and his team make you feel like royalty. They do way more than drive, they are super friendly, extremely safe, exceptionally informative. They communicate with superior professional expertise. All at very reasonable rates. They are early, polite, and can remove all of the stress from your stay in Porto. Fabio adapted to every need that arose from our group of 14 on a youth sailing trip in August 2025. The trip would have been so much more stressful without him. Whatever else you book in Porto, make sure you lock in Northexplorer and let Fabio's team level up your entire experience.

We had Fabio to pick us up in Porto airport to Braga. He is really nice and came right on time. Communication was clear. He's also thoughtful and prepared a tablet for my daughter to watch while on the trip, which we really appreciate. He also gave us some tips of food to try while visiting Braga. Overall, we are happy with the service. 👍
