We took a ride with Fabio, and it was such a fun experience! We decided to do things a little differently and opted for a tuk-tuk tour on our last day in Porto. When Fabio learned this, he thoughtfully adjusted our route and took us across the river to explore an entirely different side of the city that we hadn't had a chance to see yet. It was such a great surprise! One of my favorite highlights was driving through the fish market and restaurant area. Seeing all the different restaurants with the day's fresh catches displayed on ice out front, just waiting for diners to choose what they wanted, was such a cool experience. I definitely want to spend more time exploring that area on our next visit! Fabio also took us to a Lavadouro (traditional public washhouse), which was really interesting and something we likely wouldn't have discovered on our own. It was the perfect way to spend our last day and see parts of Porto we had otherwise missed. I especially appreciated how flexible Fabio was and how effortlessly he pivoted to create such an interesting and enjoyable experience for us. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and took wonderful care of us throughout the ride. We had such a great time and would absolutely recommend Fabio!

Daniel was very informative. This is a great way to see the city.
Great tour and nice to travel in a tuk tuk like a king! Meeting place is a bit hidden, it’s the bike shop itself with no signage. Had Joãa, lovely, nice and polite. Spare blankets if it gets cold too!
Our guide Diogo was very knowledgeable and passionate about Porto's history. We enjoyed thoroughly the tour, the story tell and sharing!
Very good trip. Great guide. Informative.
Enjoyed the whole tour and guides insights. Very worthwhile.
Unfortunately we did not get to do the tour, as our guide was sick and no one was able to take the tour. Whilst we appreciate some things are out of the companies control, we thought we’d let people know that your tour being cancelled last minute is a serious possibility (as we found out). Two things the company could regardless have done better: - more notice: we arrived 5 minutes early only to be told told that our tour wouldn’t be happening as our guide was sick. We were told the company had tried to contact us, and found a WhatsApp message less than 45 minutes before the booking which we hadn’t seen. - a solution: as the guide called in sick the night before help getting onto another trip even with a different company would have been appreciated. As we only had the one day, doing the tour two days later as was offered to us was not a solution. I’m sure if you get to do the tour it will be great, but felt compelled to leave a review seeing as this was supposed to be one of the best tours in Porto, and our experience simply was not up to scratch for a top company.
We had a lovely ride around Porto shown some sights and was taken to a beach, João was very knowledgeable and a safe driver nothing was too much trouble.
Joao was a great guide, very informative and engaging. He was flexible as to the route and gave us a terrific overview of the city and its important sites
A perfect way to get an overview of Porto, especially on a hot day and jet lagged. Diago was an awesome tour guide and safe driver, showing us around town without needing to walk up and down hills. He stopped for the right amount of time for viewing and photos, and checked in if we wanted more time. Definitely recommend this tour.
Joao, was excellent. Clear communication and engagement. Would highly recommend him and the company
Francisco was a wonderful guide with lots of great knowledge of the city and gave us an amazing list of things to see and do afterwards!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our charming guide Mac. It was a good way to see many of the key sights in Porto but it was Mac who made it for us. Can really recommend this tour
Very friendly, knowledgeable, shared lots of information
Excellent way to see the city when you first arrive. Our guide Francisco was very nice and knowledgeable.
It was brilliant. Muhammad was an excellent driver and guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and kind and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him. It was a great way to see and learn about the city.
The tour was great ! Mahmoud was ready at the pickup and was cool and friendly all the way !
First time in Portugal had a really good experience. Tour guy was amazing. He's very knowledgeable. Very patient showed us things that typically we would not have been able to see in the time that we were here. I would highly recommend it. Definitely come back. See the guys. They were fantastic Antonio. Super awesome. Couldn't say enough about him. Super good guy
We had a great tuk tuk tour with Calo today! We learned so much history of Porto and Gaia. I highly recommend!
Porto is an amazing city and Tomas was a great guide. We had a great time.
Awesome trip with Ricardo who tailored the experience and was enthusiastic and engaging throughout. Saw a lot of Porto and Gaia and the Tuk Tuk was much enjoyed!
A lovely experience !! Fabio was friendly, knowledgeable , and engaging.
What a perfect way to see this beautiful city! Our guide, Tiago was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot about Porto along the way. Highly recommend!
Wow! What an amazing way to see Porto if you’re short on time. We visited the city on a cruise so we only had a few hours to see the highlights. We had a large group so we were divided into two Tuk Tuks. Our guide, Gustavo, was so wonderful. He showed us many of the main stops but what we enjoyed the most were the hidden gems! He truly took the time to tell us about the culture of the region and show us the beauty of the city! We will definitely be back to visit Porto again!
Maria was wonderful! She catered to our requests and was knowledgeable and just overall very positive and helpful!
Tomas was very personable and knowledgeable during the tour.
It was such an amazing tour and our tour guide Calo Oliveria made it unforgettable he was very funny and interactive and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to any family!
Berto & Antonio were the best! The tour & history were one of a kind
Felisberto was a great driver and guide. Very professional and courteous. The 3 hr tour we took covered not only Porto but Guia as well from the town to the sea on both sides of the river. Very beautiful and educational.
We took a 2 hour tour of parts of Porto, and out to the coast. Our guide made the trip. He was knowledgeable, but also did a nice job of reading the vibe of the family and kids. So he wasn’t constantly lecturing or just silent. He found a great balance of telling us about the sights and letting us experience the city. It was great!
Excellent morning out with an excellent guide. Very entertaining and knowledgeable. Great trip.
We had a wonderful time with Tomas. He is very knowledgeable and had a very captivating way of showing us Porto! Highly recommended
Antonio is the best tour guide! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and a safe driver. He even played us music on the ride. Highly recommend a tour with Antonio!
Absolutely loved the tuk tuk tour- Especially with Philly Barrow our Felisberto our guide , he was so patient and knowledgeable and he is native to Porto. He has been through a lot.
We just finished up with our tour. Mr. Filiberto was fantastic. He showed us everything and it was very knowledgeable. He took care of our family very well.
Our guide Antonio was great! Tuk Tuk was clean and comfortable.
Knowledge and friendly staff. Great stops!
We loved our tour guide, we were tired and didn't really know what we wanted to see, but he was so cheerful and friendly. He brought us to many picture perfect spots which was so convenient and nice. We were also super thankful that we booked this the evening before because we had no clue what to do with our day before we had to head to the airport. Great experience, wonderful tour guide (I think it was Vinny?)
Tiago was a fantastic guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around Porto & Gaia Highly recommend this tour
We really enjoyed this tour, Tomas was very knowledgeable and had a very good sense of humour. It was a great experience and strongly recommend a tour with him!
WOW! Our tour with Gestavo was nothing less than perfect. We hit all the Porto sights as we expected and, what made the tour spectacular, we went to Gaia where he resides and grew up. He's an extremely personable guy and shared his life experiences with us along the way. We visited the fishing area, the community clothes washing center and the ocean front. His knowledge of the Porto area and it's history has no bounds. We have found TukTuk tours to be very good and people like Gustavo make them GREAT!!
I specifically picked this tuktuk tour because I wanted to stop at Jardins do Palacio de Cristnal. I chose the 4 hour tour to make sure there was enough time, not only did we not stop there but we didn’t even drive by it. It rained on and off, couldn’t see anything out of the tuktuk when the plastic cover was down. Our guide Rafael was very nice and courteous. I suggest the itinerary descriptions be explained a little better between the 2-3-4 hr selections.
We had a great morning with calo! Very knowledgeable and fun trip for us who did not know anything about Porto. We were given recommendations for things to do after too. Highly recommend!
Very easy to find. Michael was great and a good laugh. Saw all the sights we did not know where there. Excellent
Don’t depend on being advised that your activity has been cancelled until you are at least hr pickup spot. Why check on availability in the first place?
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Rafael (&Antonio). Rafael is a very knowledgeable guide and a fabulous driver. He gave a thorough overview of the city w history and cultural highlights.
A great way to spend 3 hours. Our guide was excellent making sure we enjoyed the tour which covered everything we wanted and indeed areas we weren't aware of giving a lot of information while still keeping the 3 hours light-hearted. Would thoroughly recommend and the 3 trip was the perfect length. An enjoyable and educational experience. Would recommend doing the trip early in your stay as Porto is quite spread out and gives you an idea of where you want to visit with recommendations from your host.
I booked this specifically to get the longer tour and see city and coast, 3 hours. Was rushed around city in 50 minutes, when questioned I was ignored. When viator queried refused refund. Total scammers avoid
Raphael was a fantastic host for our 3 hr tour. His knowledge of Porto and the history of Portugal over all was enjoyable & interesting
First time in Porto we hired a private electric tuk tuk for the 4 of us. Great way to see this beautiful town, very busy and hilly with narrow cobbled streets, lots of building work going on too. Ruben our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional making short stops for refreshments. He took us to many of the beautiful attractions explaining much of their history. Such a great way to get around. Thank you.
