About Helena

I have sold at the Guimarães market on weekends since I was a teenager, so I know most of the stallholders by name. On camera I move between the produce stalls and the sweet shops, since this city has its own version of toucinho do céu that few visitors know about. I let the sellers speak for themselves rather than narrating over them, and I ask the questions I would actually want answered myself. The market changes with the seasons, and I try to show whatever is genuinely good that week rather than a fixed list. I keep my phone close to the counters so you can actually see the produce.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
