Seeing Porto on a private Tuk Tuk is a one-of-a-kind experience. Due to their electric motor, the tuk-tuks are entirely silent, which will allow you to hear your guide on busy roads. Porto is an incredible city, but its hills are not for the faint of heart, instead of going up and down the hills on foot, why not grab a tuk-tuk and get an overview of this gorgeous city without breaking a sweat?

Comfort, ease, and information! Let's Discover Porto!

Barbara was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time. She took us to see many places that we couldn’t have done in our short visit. She had fun facts to share like why the round church doesn’t have corners. Take the tour and find out why! Thank you Barbara for a lovely first day in Porto.

Excellente mise en bouche pour découvrir Porto historique jusqu’a l’embouchure du Douro. Deborah était tres vive et exprimait sa passion pour sa ville dans un très bon français. Je conseille minimum 1:30 pour bien profiter de l’exercice. Un tres très agréable moment.
