Email is the way in, whether the question concerns a meeting point like Praça da Trindade, a duration such as 2 hours 30 minutes, or which sights around the city cost nothing at all. None of the 17 free walks described on these pages is operated by this site. Every one belongs to an independent local guide and every reservation happens through GuruWalk. That applies across all three categories, from Old Town Highlights to Stories, Food And Themes. If a walk's GuruWalk page leaves a detail unclear, write in and ask.
Corrections are just as welcome as questions. Maybe a garden's opening hours have moved, a guide now starts somewhere other than Praça da Liberdade, or an attraction's ticket price has changed since the page was written. Point to the page and the detail that seemed wrong, and the correction can be made so later readers get accurate information.
What To Send In An Email
- Detail on an individual walk, say the exact gathering spot at the Lion Fountain or whether a route really runs 2 hours rather than longer, sits on each guide's own GuruWalk page, which answers most of it before a place is reserved.
- Ideas for what to cover next also help: a no-cost corner of the city these pages overlook, or a theme that none of the current free walking tours takes on.
- If a GuruWalk link leads nowhere instead of a walk's page, one brief message is enough for it to get fixed.
- When a walk has ended or its start location has moved, flag it so the page can be updated before anyone heads there.
- Star ratings and review totals drift out of date, for instance a count shown lower than the figure now on a Step by Step tour's GuruWalk page.

What An Email Can Do
Messages to this address land with a reader, and useful ones get an answer. The sorts of things worth writing in are practical: a walk description that no longer matches its GuruWalk page, a meeting point that has moved, or a free-entry rule at a Porto sight that has changed its terms. Reservations are a different matter entirely. Every booking sits on GuruWalk, and only GuruWalk can amend, reschedule or cancel it, so anything about a place already reserved should go straight to its support team.
Once Your Email Lands
None of the 17 English-language free walks described on this site is operated here. Each one, including Free Tour Fundamental by Revolutours, belongs to an independent local guide and is booked through GuruWalk. That is where changes happen. A date swap, a cancellation, a spot given back, all of it must be done on GuruWalk itself. Writing to this address cannot reach a guide's participant list, so a request sent here instead will simply not register anywhere that matters.
You will not find a suggested tip anywhere on these pages, on principle. Free, pay what you want is the price of every walk listed, and there is nothing further to add. Questions about paying for a reserved place go the way of every other booking matter, to GuruWalk, whose own page for each walk carries the walker-facing terms. Whatever a walker hands over at the end, or does not, remains a private matter between that person and the guide.
Complaints travel best to the source. A guide who shows up late or rushes the stories is best reviewed on GuruWalk, where the reservation was made and where the next walkers will read what happened; a note there speaks to the guide in a way a note here never could. This site staffs no meeting point, whether Largo Amor de Perdição, the Lion Fountain or Trindade Church, and sends out no departures. Where an email genuinely helps is with the words on the page. A duration that has changed, a meeting point printed wrongly, a free-entry condition at a Porto attraction that no longer holds, or any stale detail among the 17 free walks, send a line and the copy gets set right.
Drawing the line is easy. Once a reservation exists on GuruWalk, the walk itself, its route, its pace and its stories, rests with the independent local guide who leads it, and nothing written here reaches that side of things. What these pages answer for is their own accuracy: the meeting point and duration recorded for each walk, the stated languages, and the conditions attached to every free-entry rule described for Porto. When the city and the copy stop agreeing, a short email describing the gap is enough, and a correction follows.
