Beautiful hilly town with narrow cobbled streets and alleyways - First time in Porto we hired a private electric tuk tuk for the 4 of us. Great way to see this beautiful town, very busy and hilly with narrow cobbled streets, lots of building work going on too. Ruben our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional making short stops for refreshments. He took us to many of the beautiful attractions explaining much of their history. Such a great way to get around. Thank you.

Great overview of Porto - Porto from tuk tuk is great, but Thomas is a guide who makes it the best city in the world. He is even trying to show these incredible smells of Porto. Laundry, pastel de nada, charcoal grills, coffee etc. It really worked. If you want to get on tuk tuk in Porto ask Tomas

Best tuktuk tour with Tomás! - We had a great tour with Tomas. Tomas took us to great viewpoints and he had several interesting stories about Porto, Gaia and its inhabitants. Tomas really took the trip to a higher level, and we apreciated it very much. Never had such a knowledgable guide before, and we highly recommend him!!!

Nice way to tour Porto - Felisberto was an engaging tour guide showing me all the sites of Porto in his Tuk Tuk. The ride on the cobblestones can be a bit rough at times, but worth it.

Lovely Tour but difficult to hear commentary (road cobblestone noise, motorcycles and horns). - Nice but too much noise to hear commentary most often. Sweet lady as our guide.
Probably much less fun in cold weather.
