Peter`s Beetle Porto Tour

Friends we met in Sintra told us about this experience with Peter. We immediately booked it and are glad we did! We saw not only the “touristy” areas but many other places. The city market (Bolhao, I think) was a favorite. We also got pastel de natas that were exceptionally good. Peter gave excellent background and history to buildings, statues, areas of town, etc. He also found the best spots for photos and took many of us. And the 1974 VW Beetle convertible is fun! Everywhere we went people commented on it. This was a fantastic way to see the city on our first day here. You should do the same, if you have 3 or fewer people (the bug is only so big).

This was absolutely SPECTACULAR! Pedro is a fantastic tour guide and all around human being. Pickup was smooth, the conversation flowed with knowledge, passion for the city and kindness. We had an absolute blast. The beetle was a really fun touch and Pedro takes some amazing photos so you don't have to. I cannot recommend this tour and Pedro enough!

A really excellent day out. Obviously you can see from the pictures that the beetle is a very cool car to start with. Beyond that Peter is an excellent guide. Very informative and loads of little touches through the tour that make it very special. I would definitely recommend as a way of seeing a little further afield than just the central Porto walking area

I cannot recommend Pedro’s Tour more!!! He was amazing! He took the four of us from Porto to Lisbon with 3 stops to amazing charming cities on the way! He was so nice and accommodating with time! Never rushed and suggested great picture spots! I would book him again!! Absolutely great!

This tour of Porto was the highlight of my trip! Pedro was really communicative through the Tripadvisor app and was really clear on the meeting point. He was on time, incredibly friendly and thoroughly knowledgable of Porto, it's history, the roads and the best places to see and go. I booked this tour as a solo traveller and do not regret it one bit. Pedro can get his car into the smallest of streets and up the highest of Porto's hills. With Pedro's classic VW Beetle and the roof down, you'll get a LOT of envious looks from passers by! Pedro's tour of Porto covers the main city and some of its outer areas, going up to the beach before taking the main coastal road back with the Douro beside you. I got to see and learn more about Porto with Pedro in 3 hours then I could have ever done exploring on my own in a week with all the research and planning! By the end of the tour, I felt I'd known Pedro for ages, rather than having only known him for a few hours. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're short of time or finding moving up and down the hills challenging.

Some friends took a Beetle tour 2 years ago and raved about Peter. Before booking, he answered my questions and got us a van for 2 couples and my wife. The trip was perfect: seeing some great sights (some lesser known) and learning about the area (the visit to the winery was a real treat, too). It was unanimous: all 6 of us loved the tour.

We hired tour guide to drive us to the Portuguese town of Porto. Our driver was a native of Porto and provided us with an excellent tour of his city and showed us many beautiful vistas from different vantage points in the city. Porto is one of the most beautiful cities we have ever been to. It was unusually scenic and generally clean and had a wonderful energy to it. A stop at the local farmers market was worthwhile. It is a beautiful modern outdoor venue with many street vendors selling excellent cheese’s, fruit and meats. We completed the tour by going to one of the local port distilleries (Stedmans). We started our tour at the high bridge overlooking the river. He served us a port wine sample to get things started. A prearranged lunch was provided at a local restaurant with outdoor seating that was both delicious and delightful. From there Pedro took us to Sandman distillery to tour the refinery and sample 3 port wines. After, Pedro drove us back to Lisbon. We all agreed that the Tawney port wine was our favorite. Pedro is excellent. He loves to show off Porto and provided many stories and laughs. He is top-notch!

This was by far the best experience in Porto. It was the highlight of our break. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was an incredible option to see the city of Porto and Pedro was more than incredible and everything we could hope for during our visit. We had a 6 and 9 year old and he made it engaging for them and clearly had a knack for connecting with younger children. He was passionate, knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. We were able to see things we hoped to and more. He got us a lunch reservation and just all around went above and beyond for us during our time in the city. Whatever needs to be said to convince you, consider it said. Highly recommend this tour and Pedro!!

Highly Recommend! 100%. Spending the day with Peter sharing Porto with us in this vintage VW was a the highlight of our time in Porto. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

This was the most amazing tour - pedro was truly incredible he made it such fun and was very informative. He went above and beyond for us and we can’t recommend him highly enough.

Peter is a wonderful guide! We learned so much about the history of Porto, saw lots of beautiful churches, monuments, and other buildings. Stopped for photos, had a pastel da nada, and enjoyed our conversation with Peter. He is so friendly and unbelievably knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend this tour!! Wish I could give ten stars!!!

This open top beetle tour is an absolutely fantastic experience and a great way to discover the city of Porto. Book it early in your stay and you will get your bearings quickly and be able to pinpoint where you would like to return and what you would like to see. Pedro is a knowledgeable, passionate and attentive guide and his love of Porto is infectious - the car speaks for itself!! I would highly recommend Pedro and his Beetle tour if you want to explore this great city. Thank you!

Pedro was an excellent guide. He took us to so May areas of the city that I might not have seen otherwise. He is very knowledgeable and told us so many interesting details about the city. The beetle convertible is so much fun to ride around in. He took lots of picture of us in scenic areas. I would highly recommend this tour to see Porto in a fun and interesting way.

Peter was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable guide. How wonderful it was to have his undivided attention and recommendations. He gets 10/10 for an amazing tour in this fun little car. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Porto.

Peter is a very nice person with a great deal of information about Porto. It was so much fun to ride around in his vehicle.

A fantastic tour from start to finish. Very informative, able to see parts of city l couldn’t walk to due to my heart condition. Peter went above and beyond.

My husband and I took this tour and we loved it. Pedro is very nice and informative. The tour in 2 hours is just the perfect way to know Porto. Highly recommended.

Peter was an excellent guide and made our trip fun! He even did some balloons for my son’s birthday and made it special. The beetle was a great way to navigate narrow streets of Porto. Great experience!

This was the most amazing tour! Pedro was very kind and knowledgeable. It was a full tour, he took the time to show us every little corner of the city.

My hubby & I went on a tour with Peter. It was amazing. We saw so much of the city and learned history about the various churches, monuments & buildings. Peter is a great guide. A wealth of knowledge! Make a tour with Peter part of your Porto experience!

I was surprised while leaving the hotel in Porto at 11am, my Partner had organised a tour around Porto for my Birthday. A 2 hour tour with Peter’s Beetle tours, in a Volks Wagon Beetle with the roof down. The driver/tour guide was Louis a friendly knowledgeable guide. He made the tour fully enjoyable. 1st travelling along the coast road to the Atlantic Ocean showing the large waves and beaches. And where the rich and famous live. Then back to Porto up and down the narrow streets with great views across the city. I would definitely recommend this tour. 2 hours is about right, but shorter trips are available. thank you Louis.
