Buggy Adventure

Krista_H, Apr 2026
So much fun! Great, well planned trail. Would highly recommend and would do it again! Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable as well 😊

Loud fun in the mud!

Edwin_R, Nov 2025
This was a really great experience I got to share with my wife and a couple of friends. The staff was great and helped us get right to it without too much preamble. We really got our money's worth as we were definitely out driving through wooded areas and small towns with stops at some cool sights for the full three hours. All eight of the people on the trip came away very satisfied.

This is lots of FUN

Frankie_A, Jun 2025

Lots of fun. Nice trails.

MrEdATV, Feb 2025
We did the afternoon tour, overcast day with occasional light drizzle, but we preferred this over dust. Some nice hills to climb and some mud and water holes, we are experienced off road drivers and enjoyed the experience.

70/10 super fun. Perfect...

Alfredo_B, Oct 2024
70/10 super fun. Perfect for family, friends, couples that like the adventure and rush of driving fast cards in the woods. Also beautiful traditional villages and agent Roman ruins.

Well worth it

Thomas_W, Oct 2024
Greats hosts, great experience, amazing fun and full water proof jacket and trousers provided, the route was so good and was the best buggy experience we have done, this was our 2nd visit and will be back to do it again.

Get out and boogie!

Bernardo_B, Sep 2024
Excellent tour, operator was very accommodating. Trails were huge fun. Highly recommended. They give you suits to keep you from ruining your clothes. Guide Daniel was great

Off Roading

Brian_G, Sep 2024
The off roading was awesome and the sights were awesome. The Roman ruins where awesome and definitely cool.

A Great Way to take a Break from the City

Catherine_E, Sep 2024
What a fun and exciting way to spend a few hours. Away from the crowded city and getting to see small towns and homes. The buggy was so much fun climbing the hills and through the woods. They are correct you do get a bit dirty but it was well worth it. All of the staff there were great.

High-energy and unique way to see the Porto countryside

Adrienne_S, Jun 2024
We did a Porto Buggy Adventure tour on the first day of our week-long trip to Porto and really enjoyed it as a unique way to see the countryside surrounding Porto. We particularly enjoyed the built-out ATV tracks on the tour and the different terrain (forest, rock crawling, etc.). Thrill level will likely be influenced by the other drivers in your group and your guide, but we found the tour to be super high-energy and fun. You will definitely want to bring or buy a face mask (they have a face cover available for purchase on-site) so you don't end up getting dust in your mouth!

Exciting Excursion

Terry_W, Jun 2024
I was surprised how fast we could go through all that rocky, wet and muddy terrain. Very exciting!!!

Great, fun adventure

Ross_A, Apr 2024
Brilliant experience! Such a great adventure with some great views along the way! Guides were very watchful to ensure that everyone was able to complete the adventure! Would recommend a face covering and plenty of water due to the dust/sand kickback during the summer months!

The guide was very nice...

Anna_K, Dec 2023
The guide was very nice and helpful and gave clear instructions. The pick up / drop off in Porto was easy and convenient. Overall it was a very fun and unique experience

Great excursion, super fun!

jacqueline_s, Sep 2023
The guys were super cool and made our excursion super fun! Glad we did this during our trip to Porto gave us a different side of Portugal away from the city. I would suggest taking gym clothes or clothes you don’t care to get dirty.

Fun for those who like outdoor activities

Dania_G, Aug 2023
Its a fun activity and something different to do. DO NOT wear anything fancy or anything white! Get your own mask (or else you will buy one although it should've been included free of charge) as you will be inhaling a lot of sand and dust. Get water as well. You will get filthy dirty.. it was too long for our expectation. But a nice day away from porto city.

Amazing must-try Experience

Kimberley_B, Jul 2023
Beautiful scenery of a traditional Porto. Seeing the communities around the trail we took was amazing. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, able to tell you so much about the history of Porto.

Highly recommend, adventure plus local Porto by buggy.

marina_m, Dec 2022
The route goes through villages, woods and hills. We got to experience the thrill and adventure of buggy riding while getting to know the local’s Porto. The guides were extremely helpful and friendly. Explained how to use the vehicle thoroughly and were always available for questions. Prior to arrival to the buggy location, 30’ from the city, we communicated via WhatsApp. We were picked up and dropped off in a comfortable van- driver was 5 star. We were 2 adults and a 10 year old, we all loved our experience. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Glad you could enjoy with us as a family!! We are equally grateful for your presence, we hope you have an excellent 2023

Looks more exciting then it is

Deepak_K, Dec 2022
The tour is really far from the city, first its a 45 mins drive from Porto to the buggy place, then nothing exciting for the 30 mins of the ride, then it becomes a little bit better but by the end of it, you feel like your time would have been better spent elsewhere.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Good Morning! We are sorry that you had the feeling that your time was not well spent in our company, as a 30-minute experience is not enough to realize how much fun it is to be with us. Thank you for your review

Thrilling adrenaline rush!

Anjali_C, Aug 2022
This was such a cool experience. The staff were all so personable and enthusiastic and the other people on the tour got along so well. The buggies are very easy to drive and everything was explained thoroughly to us at the beginning. One note: if you have respiratory issues, be aware that it does get super dusty in the air. But they do give you goggles and have face coverings for purchase. Overall, this was such a thrilling and amazing experience and I would honestly do it again!

Fantastic!

Florian_H, Jul 2022
Great tourguys. Fantastic experience! Would book it again!! Picked us up in the city. Su uncomplicated

Great day out

Bryan_H, Mar 2022
This was the Highlight of my trip to Porto! Such a fun day out - can’t wait to do it again. They really take you on some challenging courses - but nothing that is too much for you to handle. The guides are great and ready to help when needed! Totally recommend this a must do!

Absolutely amazing!

ainek, Nov 2021
Amazing, adrenaline filled, exciting and exhilarating tour. The guides were very friendly. Would recommend the guides to give some more info ie. What to do with our bags, bring drivers license with you, can you bring your phone on the tour, toilet breaks before you leave on the tour. Those are only minor things but I know these guys are really looking to excel so am sure they will appreciate the feedback. Highly recommend! Best tour we have been on!!!

Fun experience

Javier_A, Sep 2021
The tour is fun & exciting. The scenery is very cool and Carlos the tour guide was very friendly. I would definitely recommend it if you're in Porto and want to try something different.

Fantastic

Jayson_R, Jul 2021
This Buggy tour was great! Because I was alone, I could drive the whole tour with the guide next to me. Beautiful views in the woods and mountains as well! The buggy was easy and really fun to drive

Great buggy tour!

Uma experiência muito boa, com muita aventura e um percurso bem bonito. Preparem-se para comer poeira tomar um banho de lama 😂

Expérience inoubliable !

Nous étions seuls avec notre guide et malgré tout sortie maintenue à 3 . Un sentiment d’être encore plus privilégié et avons été vraiment chouchouté ! Nous avons été par tous les sentiers, et des paysages splendide ! Des petites pauses de 10 min pour faire des photos sur des spots incroyable … Le buggy est une superbe activité en couple ou famille et procure pleins de sensations ! On recommande à 200 % Merci !!!
