“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!”

“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.”
Ride Porto on a 3-hour bike tour through parks, palaces, and coastal views. Helmet and live guide included.
“Bom dia! Marta was our guide for the tour and she was fantastic - passionate and knowledgeable. We spent a couple of days in Porto before the tour and in hindsight, it would have been better to do the tour immediately on arrival as Marta shared a lot of interesting facts and history which gave context to everything we saw after that making for a richer holiday experience. Marta was also very safety conscious which made us feel comfortable and meant we could focus on the job at hand - sightseeing. The bikes provided were good and the route was great, mostly flat and can go at a pace you…”

“It was a great bike experience around Porto. Husband and I got to see lots of things we wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t because of the tour. Our guide Mariner was wonderful. A local, kind man that was so informative and passionate about his birth place. E-bikes in this experience is a must because there are lots of hills to climb. I highly recommend this tour specially if it’s a sunny day. Please don’t do this tour if it’s raining in Porto.”

“The activity was a great way to see the two sides of each city. The people running the bike shop were great in getting the right size bike/helmut for each member of my family, as well as adjusting our seats to meet everyone’s differences. The guide, a woman from central Portugal (I apologize, I cannot remember her name), was fantastic! Not only did she accommodate each member of my family in teaching us how to use the bikes, she also made us feel safe riding through the city. If that is an apprehension of yours, no need to worry! Lastly, she was very gracious in making changes to our planned…”
