The best way to get to know Porto - Amazing experience! We had so much fun and our Guide, Cris, was wonderful. He told us a lot of interesting things about the city, took us with Segways to the top places, with the best views and then, as if it were not much, sent us a lot of tips on places to eat! The tour is really worth it, the Segways are super safe and easy to use. Our 14 year olds were delighted! Muchas gracias Cris!

Outstanding Segway Tour! - Our guide, Igor, did a great job of showing us around highlights of Porto. He is a very intelligent and pleasant guide, filling us in on history of the sites we saw in a way that was interesting and exciting. We also enjoy Segway tours and have taken many around the world, but this one stands out with us.

Fantastic company and tour guide - Fantastic Segway to purr around the old town of Porto. Igor was a great guide - informative, knew the history, passionate about his town and good sense of humour. This, along with the e-bike river tour (also offered by the same company) were definitely worth it. Great company to book with.

Amazing Anna - Ask for Anna 🙂 she shared her obvious love and knowledge of her native city at a suitably leisurely pace so that we had time to absorb the history and culture of this Portuguese gem. She recommended local places to eat where we could sample some Portuguese specialities eating alongside locals all excellent. We also took her advice and did a tour of the Ferreira Port House which I highly recommend. It's always lovely to be guided by someone who shares their joy in their city and this Anna did with the loveliest smile, excellent English and enthusiasm. Thank you Anna 🙂

Nice bike ride! - With Fatmir as tour guide we made a fantastic trip on an e-bike. We did not expect Porto to be so good to cycle. Lots of info and a nice stop on the way. Thank you Fatmir for your enthusiasm for this city.

Segway 3 hour tour - Maria was very informative and helpful throughout the tour. A little unexpected difficulty with one of the segways was dealt with well and Maria happily went over the time to make sure we got the full tour.
