Fantastic guide - We got into Porto late and it was a mess getting off our ship, but there was Gabby our guide waiting for us at the cruise terminal. We had been in contact, but she waited two hours for us!! Once we finally started the tour Gabby took us to so many interesting places. She is fun, personable and knowledgeable. We had a great time after a very rough start and she turned into a great time. Gabby rocks! Many thanks.

Tuk Tuk in Porto - Claudio was a fabulous driver also very courteous and friendly, he showed us around all the major sights. This is a great way to see a lot of Porto in a short time.

So Much Fun!! - This is a great way to see the city in a short period of time! Our guide, Fabio, was on time picking us up at the port and was very friendly and informative. It was nice not having to walk up all those steep hills, plus it was small enough that we could enter many places that cars cannot. These tuk tuks are really built for 2, so if you have more people I'd suggest getting something bigger. Note: The cobblestone roads can get pretty bumpy, so this may not be a great option for those with back issues. Overall, this was a lot of fun, and we were so happy we did it!

Quick and simple orientation tour - If you have limited time to get a feel for a city, look no further! We zipped around Porto’ narrow, winding and hilly streets like a breeze, we are sure glad we didn’t have to walk them! We stopped at viewpoints and several places of interest and got an insight into the history of this beautiful city. Only thing to note is the location pin point shows the wrong pick up location, the pick up location is just outside of the terminal.

Despite initial challenges about a meeting time, we had an excellent tour. - We had difficulty reaching the operator about a meeting time. Both Viator and I left numerous messages, requesting a meeting time and detailed instructions for a meeting place. We were on a cruise and would have preferred to get this resolved before leaving home. Finally the night before the tour, we received an email with all of the details we required. So glad we did because our guide and driver, Fabio, was excellent. We had the perfect overview of Porto. One note of caution, if you want to go into the famous bookstore, you must buy a skip the line ticket online. The regular ticket lines are huge and there isn't enough time on this tour. We didn't get to go inside, but it truly didn't matter. The outside and crazy lines were fascinating in themselves. We had a few delightful surprises like the train station and sardine palace. All wonderful and memorable.

One day in Porto from cruise ship - Beat way to travel around city. Avoids a lot of city traffic. Hit highlights that allowed us to determine what parts of town we wanted to stay in . Worth the investment
