A great way to see lots of Porto - Loved having two routes, one to see a lot north of the river and one to see good parts south of the river. The staff was friendly and helpful. The stops were clearly marked. One of the better organized HOHO operations.

Average - The person who sold us the tickets didn't make it clear that both lines were on 1 ticket so we bought a 2nd ticket for 81 Euros for 3 people the next day! The outside route along the coast was great, the internal route was less than average. We always do hop on hop off on our travels, this one in Porto was Ok but not great

Disappointing with limited commentary - I was very disappointed with the hop on hop off blue line tour. I have done similar tours in other cities and I have always enjoyed them. The Porto one had limited commentary about the local history and did not give any information about the stops or sites I might explore at each stop. It was not up to the quality of similar tours I have done elsewhere. Porto is a city with a lot of interesting buildings and has the story of the port industry but little was mentioned of either of these aspects of the city. We paid 50 euros for the red and the blue tours and can take them over 2 days. I do hope the red tour is more informative.

Avoid - poor audio and not worth the money - Doesn’t live up to similar hop-on-hop-off trips in other cities. As others have said I can confirm that audio is out of sync with the point you are passing, audio cuts out or isn’t working when you get on and the stops aren’t announced. The sights are few are far between and some locations are missing off the ‘red route’ due to major works in Porto for a new metro line. All in all certainly not worth the money although one positive is you do see a lot more from the upper deck of the bus. My suggestion would be don’t bother and just take local buses, metro or the old tram along the river So avoid if all all possible

Porto is more pleasant on foot - The streets of Porto are narrow and difficult for buses. So these buses make you take a tour out of center and totally uninteresting. You do not see what the audio tells you. For stops that are nice and that are to be seen, do not hesitate to go there on foot. Similarly, no need to buy a transport card, Porto is not great and all the beautiful discoveries are made on foot

Difficult to feel satisfied - The good: - Open top level for viewing, unlimited use for 24 hrs The bad: - Hours 1015 to 1830 - Audio is best described as low quality, both music and speaking - Stops are not announced ahead of time or even at the stop - Map online or in app does not help navigation - Sights are talked about without telling the listener where to look (e.g., "Coming up on your right, this marble columned gov't building...") Summary: Enjoyed the 'view'; however, it seems like the tour content was created 25 years ago, using low-fidelity music and narration clips from different random sources. I felt like I missed or just couldn't see what sights the tour advertises (e.g., I still don't know where the Majestic Cafe is). Difficult to feel satisfied with this purchase.

Not the best tour - We try to do a hop on, hop off bus tour wherever we go. Sadly, this tour wasn’t as good as previous hop on, hop off bus tours we’ve experienced. It’s true to say that Porto seems to be either regenerating its run down areas or doing repairs, as there’s lots of excavation sites which the bus seems to detour. As others have remarked, the English audio is not very clear and would suggest someone English should re-record the narrative. It wasn’t always in sync with what was being driven by and it wasn’t clear where passengers were supposed to be looking. It made Porto seem an uninteresting place to see. At just short of £48 for two, an expensive tour for what we got.

Very Poor Narrative - Absolutely the worst Hop On Hop Off experience ever. The narrative was awful. Never once did it say which side what they were trying to describe was on. There was very little narrative. I didn’t learn a thing and could never see what they were infrequently describing.
