Must do, brilliant experience! - If you're visiting Porto and want a truly memorable experience and a way to explore the city, with a tuk tuk tour is an absolute must. From the moment we hopped aboard, our driver Helena’s warmth, knowledge, and passion for her hometown made the experience feel like a ride with an old friend who just happens to know every hidden corner of the city. Even though she’s from Gaia, she’s very proud of her Porto heritage. We cruised through Porto’s historic heart past the majestic Porto Cathedral, the iconic Clérigos Tower, and the bustling Ribeira district, soaking in panoramic views of the Douro River with scenic viewpoints and so many more. But the real magic happened when we crossed into the charming fishing village of Afurada. With its colorful houses, clotheslines fluttering in the breeze, and the scent of grilled fish wafting through the air, it felt like stepping into a postcard. Helena took us to a very private communal wash house which was amazing and to see people washing their clothes like they did many, many years ago. Helena didn’t just show us the sights she brought them to life with stories, local legends, and personal touches. She even pointed us to some fantastic eateries we had a mouthwatering francesinha ( restaurant @ Mecure Hotel) following our initial experience and the central market with an array of fresh produce and wine and port. This tour is perfect if you want to see Porto’s highlights and hidden gems without the hassle of big buses or exhausting walks. If you’re in Porto ask for Helena and hopefully you can experience the wonderful time we had in Porto with her. THANK YOU Helena!

Highly recommended tour - Our tour guide (Jwell?) was fantastic, great knowledge of the country and city. His interest in music as a guitarist and singer was even more exciting as our young daughter is a music fanatic. Lovely tour of historic Porto and parts of Gaia including a stop at the beach which was very neat. Highly recommended!

Great way to see Porto in a short time! - Rafael was a great guide. We loved seeing the fishing village and watching the guys cook fish on the street. It was a great way to see most of Porto quickly and still get the feel of the town. I highly recommend!!

Hard to see - We covered a lot of ground, but it was difficult to see out the sides of the vehicle. A better option would be something small like the tuk tuk, but with open sides so that you can really see what you are passing as you go by. Ruben was an excellent guide and driver and easily accommodated our minor route changes.

Try it? - The driver was very nice and knowledgeable. It was hard to see somethings in the tuk tuk and the ride was very bumpy!
