Brilliant Segway tour! - A brilliant way to spend the morning! Fabio, our guide was absolutely amazing! It was busy in Porto, the weather was gorgeous but he managed to keep us safe while segwaying around with loads of interesting information. I would recommend the Segway tour, and was surprised by how easy it was.

Fantastic tour of Porto - I took a tour of Porto with Ana bakx and it was one of the best tours I have ever taken. She’s very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and took me around to see all the sites. I highly recommend using her if you have the opportunity.

Not safe - In my opinion and I have segwayed all over the world, Porto is not safe to Segway in. There are cobbled streets, steep hills, traffic and roadworks, raised kerbs and crowds. There are few places you can relax and enjoy it. All the time you are focused on the obstacles not the scenery. The guide was good although we couldn’t hear him over the traffic. Please for your own safety don’t book a Segway ride in Porto, go by foot or TukTuk.
