We had an amazing time with John, who is the owner of the company. We were out late to meet up with him and he was most gracious and extended our time. His knowledge of local history, is willingness to share pockets of neighborhoods that illustrated the type of development that occurred here over centuries was super interesting. And riding his motorcycle with sidecar was a blast. I wish I could hear you give him 10 stars here, do not hesitate to book his services. And did I mention that he basically serves as your personal tour guide? We could not have had a better time.

Amazing guests deserve our best effort :) Thank you :)
Lots of fun and a different way to see the sights. You could walk but why would you when you can zip from Place to Place looking at everything with a great guide to showcase the best bits.

The glamorous sidecar is a lot of fun and Very comfortable! So glad you liked our experience and perspective of Porto. Thank you!
Such a fun experience with Pacio, our guide. We gained a good understanding of the layout of Porto and Pacio was very generous in imparting his knowledge of the city to us. We can highly recommend this tour.

We are so glad to hear that our local guides were able to show you our locals perspective of Porto! Thank YOU!
One of the best excursions we've ever had! Juao was a warm, funny, entertaining guide, full of knowledge of and passion for the wonderful city of Porto. The side-car was a blast and very safe. We loved this experience. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank YOU! Our experiences are so much more fun because of our amazing guests!
We did this tour on our first morning here and it was a very fun way to get familiar with Porto. Paseo asked what we had already seen and tailored the tour to our interests. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2026
Its always the best way to be introduced to the city and what to explore later on your own. So glad you had fun! Thank you!
Pacio was great and so was the tour. Would recommend this over all other tours motorbikes were safe and clean

So good to hear that you liked our local perspective of Porto. Thank you!
João’s tour with two motorcycles (sidecars attached) was a one-of-a-kind tour. Paulo is the second driver and very friendly. We made lots of great stops and learned quite a bit of history. The guides are great about taking lots of photos of your party.
We were able to modify the trip a bit as it was raining the whole time. While the guides made it fun and brought rain gear, I do not recommend this wonderful tour in the rain. It is difficult to see through the helmet face guards with rain and the sights aren’t as brilliant.
Here is an honest tip: one person in each sidecar (for a max of two). Any additional riders have to ride on the small seat behind the driver. In our case, it was fine, as my adult daughter is petite.
For those curious, the motorcycles are not loud or smelly. The sidecars are comfortable.
We highly recommend this tour!

Thank You for kind words and we hope to see you back in Porto!
What an awesome experience! Our side-car tour with Pedro was the highlight of our time in Porto. He was super friendly, polite, and made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend while exploring the city. Pedro knows so much about Porto and shared great stories along the way, plus he took us to a fantastic local spot for lunch we never would’ve found on our own. The whole ride was fun from start to finish and such a unique and memorable way to see the city. Highly recommend!

Thank You so much for the very kind words! So glad you enjoyed our local perspective of Porto :)
This tour was amazing! Outstanding and informative 3 hour tour with great photo opportunities! Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable - we absolutely loved everything about it! One of our favorite tours on our European vacation!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
So glad you enjoyed our local perspective of Porto and the off the beaten path parts too. Thank you!
It was an amazing 3 hour tour of the historic section of Porto and the City across the river. Pácio was our driver and went above and beyond. He took a lot of pictures of us and showed some amazing places. We didn’t realize it is a private tour with just the 2 of us. So glad it was because we were able to tailor as we went.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Yes, our tours are always private :) We’re glad you enjoyed our perspective of Porto. Thank you!
Fantastic - the most unique way to experience Porto - you’ll be the envy of all! Pacio was the consummate guide - passionate about his city, extremely knowledgeable and quick with a smile. Pacio was keen on safety and maneuvered us through traffic and pedestrians with the utmost care. There are not enough accolades for Pacio and the Porto Sidecar Tours - do not pass up the opportunity to experience Porto with this intimate tour!

Pescio & Oscar were excellent tour guides for the morning and tailored our experience around what we had managed to see in a few hours the day before….
We were taken to some hidden gems with amazing views only the locals know about 💕
Thank you

Thank you for kind words
What a great way to see Porto! Even though we had a little rain shower or two, Joao and Pescio were happy to show us the sites! They know their history and they sure know Porto! Loved Joao’s jokes and loved his interactions with the pedestrians we passed! Strongly recommend this tour! Fantastic!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
What a fun tour! Thank You for a great experience!
Pacio is a safe driver, professional, and fun. He is extremely knowledgeable w historical events. Because we mentioned our additional interest in animals and plants he took us to a lovely park that included both. Highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you on behalf of Pácio and the Porto Sidecar team!
Joao and his partner were charming, knowledgeable, and funny! We really enjoyed our 3+ hour tour with them. They told us about the history of Porto, and showed us the architectural wonders of the city. They treated us to delicious espressos and Portuguese pastry, and recommended a great spot for a fresh fish along the river. The sidecar tour was the highlight of our trip to Portugal!!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Amazing guests make amazing tours! Thank You!
Joao was amazing, knowledgeable, personable, fun, and exuded a love and passion for what he does and his city. Amazing start to my birthday :-). I will definitely book the sunset tour next visit!

Response from Host, Mar 2022
It´s our great guests that make the tours so nice.. Thank you!
The weather was not very but our guide was exceptional. He contacted us to be sure that we still wanted to go. He had rain coats for us to protect us from the rain. He was very informative. Took us to a great place for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Thank you very much for the kind words! I hopo to see you both again soon... in sunnier weather :)
João provided an excellent historic backdrop while driving us through the narrow streets on a unique form of transportation. The Ural sidecar was an open and airy experience while still allowing us to hear our very knowledgeable guide. João is very accommodating and has a great sense of humor. Beware, you will stand out in the crowd on this tour 😁
Es war unser"Honeymoon"
Eine ganz besondere Stadtrundfahrt mit Beiwagen. Riesiger Spassfaktor!
Viele tolle Infos von Joao über diese wunderschöne Stadt. Ein Geheimtip!
Und ich überlege mir auch dieses Motorrad
zu kaufen.
