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.

So now I want to buy a Segway! - The Segway is excellent way to see the best bits of Porto. Walking is so overrated! Our guide Vinicius was excellent. Knowledgeable, and just a really nice guy to hang out with. Recommended
