Even Prague tour guides need a tour guide sometimes! 😉🇵🇹
Last week, we traded Prague's cobblestones for Porto's hills and took the Prague City Adventures team on a little adventure to Portugal.
But this wasn't just a team getaway. We came to TripCon with one important mission: to become even better at what we do.
Together with the brilliant Mitch and Alan from TripSchool, we explored what makes a truly unforgettable tour. Because anyone can memorize dates, names, and architectural styles. The magic happens when you turn history into stories, facts into emotions, and a sightseeing walk into an experience people remember long after they've returned home.
And naturally, we believe in learning by doing!
So we:
🍷 Explored the Port w**e cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia and discovered the secrets behind Portugal's most famous fortified w**e.
🍽️ Ate our way through some seriously delicious Portuguese cuisine.
🏛️ Got lost (occasionally on purpose!) in Porto's beautiful historic streets.
🌊 Made it all the way to the Atlantic coast.
🦵 And discovered that Porto's hills are basically a free fitness boot camp. Especially when you take a wrong turn, climb 200 stairs, realise your mistake, and have to do it all over again. Apparently, even Google Maps enjoys a good joke!
We returned home with new ideas, fresh inspiration, wonderful memories, and an even stronger appreciation for the art of storytelling.
A huge thank-you to Mitch and Alan from TripSchool - Tour Director & Guide Training for challenging us, inspiring us, and reminding us why we fell in love with guiding in the first place.
We love showing you Prague and the Czech Republic. But first, we have to keep exploring, learning, and falling in love with the world ourselves. ❤️
Porto, you've been wonderful. Até à próxima!
