Porto’s
Our tour guide Filipe Rodrigues was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city of Porto’s. We had a great time and would have liked to have spent more time in Porto.

Good tour if you need to rush back to Lisbon on the same day
We have joined the 6 Bridges Cruise at Porto which was recommended by our guide Diogo (at own expense). The cruise was nice but it did taken up our available time in Porto, especially when this kind of cruise tour was arranged in fixed schedule by local operator and you need to wait for the next cruise. Our guide did tried his best in bringing us to all the attractions we were interested in visiting. As it is a private tour, it is easy for you to forget about time management. For us, we spent too much time in Livraria Lello, and as a result, we needed to rush to other attractions for quick visits. So, if you are joining this kind of tour, do plan ahead the time you'll spend in each attraction!

Poor guide not a lot to do
Our driver was just that, a driver. He knew nothing and admitted to us he knew nothing and that he wasn't a good guide, but a good driver. He did take us to a port winery and that was nice. He then drove us out of town for lunch and the place was definitely authentic and good. We then drove back to town and had about an hour to walk around then headed back to Lison. Definitely not worth it. He knew nothing about Porto. He told us 3 times it was built on a hill so there are a lot of steps there. I could have told you that. Oh well. It would have been better had we trained up and stayed on our own and gone out the the Duoro Valley on our own.

From the very beginning we knew...
<p>From the very beginning we knew things were not going to go well. The guide showed up 30 minutes late as he had been stopped by the police and did not have the correct documents. He then apologized for his poor English, and said that he had never been to Porto where our tour was and that we would discover it together. About halfway through a terrifying, fast car ride, we learn that he does not even have a list of the sites he is supposed to show us. Relying completely on Google Maps which he was going too fast to follow, he was unable to find the location of the Port tasting which was supposed to take place in the afternoon- because who wants Port at 11:30am?. After I pulled out my Google Maps, I navigated him to the location for the tasting after being lost for an hour. However, we had missed the first slot, and wasted a further half hour for the tour to start. At this point we decided to take matters into our own hands and showed him a list of the sites we were supposed to see and plotted the points on Google Maps. During our time spent waiting, we called the office of the tour company and were hung up on while trying to explain the situation. We were eventually called back after several attempts, but the situation was not remedied. He followed us to these sites that we had planned, walking slowly behind us and asking locals randomly for directions that were nearly always wrong. The tickets for Calem the Port tasting were included, but none of the other sites were. This was very misleading from the Viator description. At some point during our day, he disappeared and popped up later and said that he was busy having lunch. We found this odd as we had not had lunch either. Our last stop of the day was the Stock Exchange, but were unable to tour as tickets were sold out for the rest of the day. This was a foreseeable circumstance that an experienced tour guide or tour company would have been able to foresee. While Porto was beautiful and highly recommended with another tour company, this was far from a relaxing, well organized day. We felt very unsafe due to our guide's reckless driving and were guiding ourselves throughout the day, which made him redundant.</p>

Good guide but not sure if Porto is worth spending this amount
The driver and our guide Daniel was great, he got us to Porto and back fast. He also has good insight on the cities and history and took us to a great place for lunch.
Only reason I am giving 3 stars is we weren't convinced if we got our money worth, Porto is good (not great or excellent)but not worth spending as much money

We apreciate your comment, we also had the feedback that it al went good and you liked.
We are very sorry that you gave us 3 starts, if you liked the service that Daniel did in the name of Knight Riders Tourism.
Best Regards,
Ines Rodrigues

My wife and I had a great day trip...
<p>My wife and I had a great day trip to Porto! Although it was rainy, our guide showed us the major sites/churches of Porto. We had great views of the city and river despite the rain. Lunch was in a local restaurant with locals. we love that-simple meal at reasonable prices. Since we had spent much of our time in Lisbon, we really didn't need to have more cod recipes! After seeing the tower and three churches, we also saw the bookstore where Rowling wrote Harry Potter long line, we just peaked in. Then we had a Port wine tour for an hour, thanks to our guide! In the end we went home happy and tired. Because our trip was in December, we couldn't get out to the shore in time since it got pretty dark by 5:30. We recommend this tour!</p>

A rainy day in Porto
The rain didn't stop us from having a great trip to Porto in December. We got picked up by Daniel bright and early at our hotel and drove up to Porto. On the way we passed by vineyards which were off season. Probably beautiful in the spring. Porto was a beautiful city and our guide was helpful and informative. Lovely sites of the city, churches and views of the city from the tower (lots of steps so beware!). Our lunch was not as Daniel had planned but was at a small restaurant serving the locals (our preferred way to go!).
We finished our tour at the Calem Port company for an hour tour and explanation of the making of Port wine (did you know that it is made outside of Porto!). Sadly because it was raining and also in December, we didn't get a chance to do much more before we headed back home.
Great day trip!
