“The tour was a real highlight of our short stay in Porto. Our guide Mikael was very informative and friendly. We made plenty of stops for views from the highest points and also crossed a couple of bridges, rode down to the beach area where the Douro begins and stopped for coffee and cake. It was a fantastic way to see so much in short time, but not at all rushed. We had a lovely small group of 4 along with mikael and had a really fun morning . We would highly recommend this tour, it was wonderful!”

“We booked this tour , like we did in rest of the other cities too but this one in Porto was very disappointing .. We were just bicycling and were hardly shown anything . Though I booked a group tour but that day ,only me and my son were there . We did not covered any porto attraction and when I asked our guide Rocalo about it , he mentioned that he was asked to take us for a normal tour as advised by his owner/operator ... What is this NORMAL TOUR ? I think because there was no one else except us , they fooled us . We cannot…”
Private Porto e-bike tour with a licensed guide, covering riverside, beaches, and parks. E-bikes, helmets, and water included.
“This ride takes you mainly down the waterfront to the beach, then through a nice and huge park before taking you near the main bridge. It's a nice way to see different areas of Porto than you typically visit as a tourist. Our guide was great, telling interesting stories along the way. The bikes all seemed quite new and we didn't have any technical problems with them. There is a little bit of riding along the road and tram tracks but not too bad. Also most of the ride is fairly flat. Just a few parts had hills. They keep the groups small (ours was 8) which is appreciated. Unfortunately…”
Self-guided bike and boat day from Porto to Gaia, under Douro bridges, plus port wine tasting and a local food stop.
“Heel leuke fietstocht gedaan langs de kust. Geen elektrische fietsen, maar alles was plat en waren zeer kwalitatieve fietsen. Enige minpunt: je kreeg de uren door van de boot en tussen welke uren je bij de portoproeverij kon gaan, maar wanneer we daar kwamen in de late middag, bleek dat je moest reserveren voor je bezoek. We konden dan nog wel reserveren voor die dag, maar konden daardoor de boottocht niet meer doen. Best dus 's morgens al je proeverij vastleggen.”
Cellars, cruises, day trips and everything between.
