We did the 2-hour tour in...

We did the 2-hour tour in the morning. It was a great way to see the city. Our guide, Thomas, was fabulous - so friendly, knowledgeable, and easy going. We had already seen a few of the sites on the tour, so we pivoted and were able to do a few other stops.

fantastic experience!

Francisco was a great guide and ambassador for Porto. he was friendly, engaging and thoroughly entertaining. We learned a great combination of history, culture, and recommended eats. Experiencing Porto through tuktuk is perfect for those that do not want to traverse the many hills by foot or bike. We able to hop on and off easily without worrying about parking and thus covered a large geographic area. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience to those visiting Porto.
