Ana was the most amazing tour guide with an incredible amount of knowledge and personality. We appreciated every little hidden gem, every recommendation, and every joke she cracked! I would absolutely do this tour again as long as Ana was the one doing the tour!

Anna was our guide and so nice and intelligent and had tons of information to share. Getting around Porto these days can be a bit tough with all the traffic but she handled it like a champ! Took us to most all the places and gave us great advice.

Great orientation to Porto and Gaia

Carmel_W, Jun 2026
Ana was very informative and customized our time with her to see the areas we were most interested in. Riding in the tuk tuk was fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon

4 hour private tour finished in 3 hours, ripped off

Barry_I, Jun 2026
The meeting point for our 4 hour private tuk tuk tour in Porto was ridiculously obscure. A street address was provided which did not appear in Google maps, and our hotel had little idea of the location. Our cab driver believed he did know but dropped us off in the wrong location, some 300 m away. After seeking advice from locals, we finally managed to find our guide who was parked by her self, no signage at all, right opposite the bus depot. This additional information would have greatly assisted us in locating her. The tour started on schedule at 0930 and our guide Anna was very good and informative, no issues there. Early in the tour I sought to confirm that our 4 hour tour would complete around 1330, but she advised that we were due to wrap up at 1300. When we arrived at our final location at 1230, she advised that the tour was now finished as she needed to travel to a different location for her next tour starting at 1300. We didn’t see any point complaining as she just seemed anxious to finish with us and move to the next job. We expressed our displeasure by not providing any tip. So if you are contemplating any private tour, you should confirm the finish time at the beginning. This was booked through Viator and I will be requesting them to refund a quarter of the $523 cost based on the hours provided vs advertised

Fabio- the best!!

straussjill, Jun 2026
Fabio made our trip outstanding. Went above and beyond his way to make our day special. Highly recommend this tour and Fabio. A great day!!

Porto Tuk Tuk Tpir with Victor

jneu611, May 2026
Victor was an excellent tour guide with a lot of knowledge and passion about Porto. We went to areas which we would have never thought of seeing and seeing the beauty of Porto.

Not worth the money.

Kerry_B, May 2026
I think a lot of these kind of tours depend on the guide. When you use this platform you just get the guide they give you. Ours didn’t seem happy to be there and was just tolerating the tour and we spent most of our time outside the city driving around and not actually learning anything. For paying over 300€ I expected a much better experience.

Way better than walking and lots more fun

Fabio was awesome!

Brian_C, May 2026
Fabio was a wonderful guide. We saw some great parts of Porto and Gaia. Fabio made this tour very enjoyable! We learned a lot about the Porto area that would not have experienced by ourselves.

Tuk Tuk Tour

Janine_B, May 2026
Victor was an excellent friendly, knowledge tour guide. Lovely city, filled with history, friendly people.

Porto tuk tuk

Steven_D, Apr 2026
Gives a nice overview of the city. Parks and river were beautiful. Bring a jacket as it gets windy by the ocean. Our guide was super nice; stopping to allow pictures and little explorations.

Porto tour

barb_w, Apr 2026
Anna was great. We were on a group trip and the day before we had a walking tour of the city. So when we met Anna, we told her what we had already done and ask if she could just take us to places we hadn’t seen. She did an awesome job of showing us things that we never would’ve seen in Porto. Then we ask if we could be dropped off on a specific street in order to do some shopping and she accommodated us at the end of our tour. She was extremely friendly, great English. We really enjoyed her.

Our guide provided a great overview of the city. We enjoyed our experience and what certainly do this tour again.

Great Tour of the Highlights of Porto

Janae_L, Apr 2026
This was an extremely quick and thorough overview of things to see in Porto. We saw all the highlights - great views - our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - and even took us to the beach (which was beautiful). My only concern was that we saw too much! Porto is really worth a full day, even in "overview mode"

Perfect way to explore...

Amy_W, Mar 2026
Perfect way to explore Porto, the 4 hrs flew by, enjoyed the experiential views from the tuk tuk and the fun stories from our driver, Anna. She was so nice and easy to talk with, felt like a friend driving us around explaining the city that she so clearly loves!

Our tour guide Ana was...

Summer_K, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Ana was great! She gave the kind of tour and experience that we were hoping to get for a first time in Porto. She was very friendly and great with kids. She was also very informative and knowledgeable and gave a great historical overview of Porto. She provided great local attraction and food recommendations. Would highly recommend a guided experience from her and will strongly request to have her next time! Our 6 and 9 year olds loved her also! Knight-Myers family

Gagne tour of Porto😀

Cynthia_G, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful afternoon exploring Porto and the surrounding area. Our guide was knowledgeable and allowed time for pictures. We were very happy with our tour!!!

Perfect way to see Porto

Lorena_S, Feb 2026
This was the perfect way to really see Porto. Our guide was a local who really loved his city and shared great insights with us. It allowed us to see not only the main sights but some local favorites as well: I would highly recommend this tour.

Victor!!!!!!

Mike_W, Feb 2026
It was fantastic... all due to the driver Victor...thorough and so informative... he was so proud of Porto and Portugal and this made the tour the BEST. Definitely book the longer tour.

Not the 3–3.5 Hour Tour Promised - Rushed, Unprofessional Experience

Kimberly_H, Dec 2025
This tour was disappointing and fell far short of what was advertised. The driver arrived late and then rushed through the itinerary, often speeding past sites without stopping. Communication was difficult, especially while moving, making it hard to understand any explanations. Safety was a serious concern—the driver drove recklessly and nearly hit a pedestrian. He also smoked at several stops, which was unpleasant and unprofessional. Although he claimed he was driving fast so we could “see more,” the tour ended in under two hours, well short of the promised 3–3.5 hours. I would not recommend this tour based on our experience.

Goncalo was great!

Raul_R, Dec 2025
Our guide Goncalo was informative. He took us to historical spots and great vistas. Seeing both Porto and Gaia was helpful.

Caroline_B, Dec 2025
standard issue tour. Our guide was pleasant and communicated well; the views were nice; however, it was less a tour and more a few places for us to look around and figure the history out on our own

Best way to see a lot in 3 hours

Teresa_H, Nov 2025
We had a fantastic tour guide who was very knowledgeable. The 3 hour tour was perfect for seeing the most in the amount of time we had. We hit all the best sites and views.

Tuk tuk traveler in Porto.

Jan_K, Nov 2025
We had a wonderful day exploring Porto! Our driver (Rafi) took us through many tiny backstreets to show us the true character of Porto. It was obvious that she knew the history and loved her city of Porto. The only drawback is how obstructed the view can be due to the cover on the tuk tuk.

Rafael Was Amazing!

Sean_O, Nov 2025
Our tour guide Rafael was amazing. She was so accommodating, sincere and very knowledgeable. She shared with us so many interesting facts about the city that you could only learn from someone with the passion to share her city with you. I cannot say enough good things about our guide Raf! Thank you thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Gabi gave us a great tour!

Pat_P, Oct 2025
Very informative and fun tour in Tuk Tuk with Gabi! She took us to so many sights and gave us so much information along the way! She really tailored the tour stops based on our interests. Several stops where we could get out and take pictures and explore. Going over the bridge to Gaya was a real treat. She also took pictures of my husband at several sites. She skillfully navigated our Tuk Tuk through narrow streets, busy traffic and construction zones. Great way to spend a rainy morning!

Wonderful way to see it all!

Amanda_E, Oct 2025
We saw many (if not most) of Porto’s sites and had a wonderful time with charming and energetic Rafaela. We had a cloudy and occasional rainy day and sometimes it was hard seeing all the sites with the cover over the tuk tuk. Our guide, Rafaela, was wonderful and we enjoyed her so much, we gave her a hug goodbye. We did this tour on our first morning in Porto and it gave us a look at the city and what sites we would want to return to.

Less than successful Tuk Tuk tour

William_K, Oct 2025
Saw very few sites - was given too much time at two markets and not shown enough other attractions - supposed to be wine tasting, not done - advertised as private tour, was semi-private tour as another couple joined (unknown to us) - also, Tuk Tuk guide kept asking us to look up at attractions, only problem was canopy ceiling had plastic windows that were oxidized and could not see out - there was a problem with traffic in the city, police had created some bottlenecks, Tuk Tuk guide not able to find a way around.

Porto Tuk Tuk

Leil_G, Oct 2025
Ana was a great guide. She had lots of explanation for all our stops. She worked around the traffic accident and made sure we saw all the sights. She stopped for quick pictures and worked with our requests. Would do this tour again with her.

Did not get what we paid for

Kathleen_R, Oct 2025
I would not book again with this company. Driver was 20 minutes late and informed us our private tour was no longer private…. We had to get in with another couple who also had booked a private tour. We were told we would get a 10 percent discount but I am not holding my breath. Driver was nice enough but didn’t get much history nor could we hear him most of the time.

Johnny was very friendly...

Tracey_C, Oct 2025
Johnny was very friendly and personable. Very informative and knowledgeable. He made a few suggestions for dinners that turned out to be great!!
