This was a perfect way to see, experience, and learn about Porto. Joao was an extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun guide. One of the best parts of our tour was our lunch of grilled fish at a restaurant that Jaoa recommended.

Joao was fabulous. He took Alvaro of us from beginning to end. We learned a lot about Porto and its history. Joao was incredibly accommodating we were on a layover at the Porto Airport and he met us 30 minutes earlier when we arrived early and made sure we were on the way back to the airport in plenty of time. Tour was amazing and scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed the sidecar.

Booked the tour for our first full day in Porto and was not disappointed. Great way to see all the main sights and get your bearings in this beautiful city. João is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and he has a great sense of humour. He took us to some places we would never have found on our own. The views over Porto were amazing. We had an impromptu stop for coffee and cake too which was a really nice touch. João also gave us some suggestions for places to go on our own during our trip and he also recommended a few great restaurants to eat at. I can highly recommend this tour. You will be sure to have a smile on your face after your time spent with João in Porto.

I had been living in Porto already for several months and explored most of the city. But this experience let me view on a city from different perspective. Even though you navigate by roads, because it's a motorbike and not a car, you still feel very close to the city and enjoy the vibe. There were also a couple of stops in secret locations with very interesting details of Porto city and Portugal.

We knew from the minute Joao picked us up at our hotel that we would have a great time, even though it was a rainy day! Joao is a lovely man with a great sense of humor. As a local, he has a vast knowledge of Porto and Portuguese history. We learned so much and saw things we would have never discovered on our own. During the tour, he gave us suggestions for things to explore on our own after the tour concluded. We would definitely book a tour with Joao again should we return to Porto. Obrigada, Joao!
