Cristobal (Chris) was a wonderful guide. I especially appreciate the care he took to keep the children safe and comfortable on their e-bikes. Cris's love of his adopted city Porto shines through in his tourguiding. A highlight of our time in Porto!

Wonderful tour! Our tour guide Igor was very friendly and very accommodating. He showed us many beautiful sites and gave our group some very interesting history along the tour. We even stopped for a delicious local pastry in the middle. The electric bikes were very fun to use and the tour was thoroughly enjoyable and very scenic. Highly recommend!
