All in all, a very nice tour of Porto with a guide who knew his way around and was very enthusiastic about the matter. The tour lasted over 3 hours and it was definitely an advantage that it wasn't our first Segway tour. Because it often went through the heavy traffic and through the pedestrian zone. Since we did this tour right at the beginning of our stay, we immediately had an overview of all the sights of Porto. The price also included a coffee break including the local pastries (Pastéis de Belém). The communication between guide and participant could be improved a little, because due to the strong ambient noise (road traffic and crowds of tourists) a headset would have been better to understand all explanations. The guide also gave us one or two tips for local restaurants. The tour can therefore definitely be recommended.

Highly recommended !!!!! Lucas our tour guide was fabulous, very kind and friendly. He made us feel like we are friends for many years. During the tour we learned a lot of things about the history of Porto and many hidden tips as well. This was the best 3 hours we spent in Porto.

The 3-hour city tour with a small port wine tasting with our guide Sid was really great. He explained everything very well and in an entertaining manner. We recommend him 100%!!!

It was amazing! We had so much fun and we’re able to see so many of the major sights in Porto in a day!

Knowledgeable, wonderful history, lovely guide. Made the visit the best! Well planned agenda and tour.
