Bike tour highly recommended! - This week we cycled along the highlights of Porto in 3 hours with our guide Yvonne. Stopped at various nice points, time for photos and an informative talk from our friendly guide. You have to climb and descend quite a bit, but this is easy to do with an electric bicycle. In short, a fantastic way to explore Porto in a few hours and learn more about the city. Take a break with a coffee and pastel de nata to complete the experience!

Top! - We took a tour with guides Tommy and Guido, a great duo! We got a nice impression of the hectic city of Porto and afterwards we even received a list of facts and addresses (restaurants) of the city. During our tour it was raining, the traffic was hectic, the cobblestones slippery, but that didn't deter us. Tip: plan this tour at the beginning of your visit to Porto, so you will certainly benefit from it in the following days.

Do It! - Really enjoyed seeing Portugal with Igor. An enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. In addition to Igor we had someone at the back of the group as well for safety and oversight. We learned about the town and had nice photo opportunities. Great way to start time in Porto. Three cheers for E-bikes too!

A great way to discover the City, a must do! - The views were well chosen, from the heights to the city center. Our guide Vinicius was very friendly, available (there were 3 of us as a family and with another very nice couple as well) and his comments were very interesting. Essential during a 2-day stay for a relaxed afternoon with lots of information on the city. The electric bike, also essential..

Excellent introduction to Porto by bike - Cristobal (Chris) was a wonderful guide. I especially appreciate the care he took to keep the children safe and comfortable on their e-bikes. Cris's love of his adopted city Porto shines through in his tourguiding. A highlight of our time in Porto!

NOT for inexperienced bikers - This tour is NOT for nervous bikers or those who have only ever biked on pavement. You start in the heart of the city, biking amongst cars and construction (without bike lanes), and going downhill on cobblestone (ouch!). The guides were lovely and kind! More so biking than an informative tour, so don’t expect a lot of fun facts. Lovely scenery!
