Traveler reviews
Outstanding
Phillipa is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. I learned a lot about Porto. I highly recommend this. The e-bike makes the hills so easy to navigate. My first time ever to experience an e-bike.
Fantastic Bike Tour with Ramon
Great bike tour with Ramon. Super friendly, very knowledgeable, and made the whole ride smooth and enjoyable. Perfect way to see Porto.
Great time!
Awesome experience! Our guide was very personalable and knowledgeable. We covered a long distance and learned so much! I haven’t ridden a bike in 20 years and I was able to do it! Thank you Timothy (Tim)
Great tour and wonderful guide!
Timothy was fantastic! Very informative and fun! We had a great time with him!
Great Porto E-bike tour!
Doing an ebike tour is a great introduction to Porto! We saw a lot of beautiful sceneries, learned about some history and fun facts, and had an enjoyable time with our guide, Timothy. Being on an ebike allowed us to visit a lot of sights in a short amount of time without getting too tired - the city hills can be a lot but on an ebike it's much easier. We all felt safe at all times and Timothy also had a lot of great recommendations. Highly recommend!
