Our guide Arthur took us through several unique and interesting areas of Porto while giving an overview of the history. He was always cognizant of where the group was and kept the group at a pace that was comfortable for all participants

Been on quite a few trips whilst in Porto but Felipe made this one special. We cycled around not on the city centre but the wider region of Porto, stopping off at certain checkpoints. Filipe was very knowledgeable about the landmarks and made the experience for us. The entire 3 hour trip was both interesting, fun and full of laughter. Obrigado mais uma vez, Felipe e desejamos-lhe boa sorte na Holanda. Ollie & Sophie

Nice and relaxing ride along the water out of the crowded city. Our tour guide was great, friendly and knowledgeable. A little breezy by the water, so you may need a jacket.

Fab cycle ride along coast and parks of beautiful Porto - our guide Artur was very friendly and incredibly informative about history of Porto and the local pastries 😆 - if you don’t cycle often I recommend electric bikes 👍

We thought we were on a tour of the important sites in Porto. Instead, we saw the river, the Atlantic, a tourist trap gift shop in a park with on one in it, and a few sites "over there." Don't make the mistake of taking the non-ebike tour.
