A must do activity - exhilarating ride through the scenic countryside! - This was a highlight of our trip to Portugal! We were picked up near our hotel and went to the countryside; we drove our own buggy through small villages, ancient ruins, rugged terrain with amazing views. It was exciting throughout and a must do activity during your trip to Porto!

Great experience for my family of five. We enjoyed ourselves. If you reserve the 3 pm time slot you will need a coat and gloves. - Pick up in Porto went very smooth. The driver was waiting for us, he is a very nice man. We enjoyed the excursion through the mountains and the city.

Porto Off Road Buggies - Great fun driving the buggies. Our guide - Gil - was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us taking pictures. Amazing views, and visited fantastic historical sites.

Worth every minute! - The staff was incredibly helpful, from the booking process to the guidance throughout the journey. I would recommend bringing a mask or neck warmer to avoid having to purchase one. Don't forget to wear comfortable clothing. If you're going to finish at the end of the day, don't forget something warmer to deal with the different temperatures. I did end up with some notable discomfort, particularly in my back, but every minute was well worth it!

A Fantastic Must Do Experience - This is our second time visiting the Buggy ride and we had a different route. An Absolutely brilliant experience. ( if you have back issues it’s not recommended) but for everyone else it’s amazing, we will for sure return. Thank you

Great excursion, super fun! - The guys were super cool and made our excursion super fun! Glad we did this during our trip to Porto gave us a different side of Portugal away from the city. I would suggest taking gym clothes or clothes you don’t care to get dirty.

Disappointing - I've done the tour a few times, this time it was disappointing, we scheduled it for this Tuesday 23/01 and then we received a message saying that they were on vacation, what's the surprise of seeing someone publish stories and it's on the same day they were supposed to be on vacation.
It should be noted that it was a teambuilding activity and whoever published the photo belongs to the same company I work for, but in different locations.
