Beautiful part of Porto you would probably otherwise miss!

This tour is definitely worth doing. Our guide Cris was excellent. You travel along the beautiful Douro river past the bridges and fishing boats until you reach the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a mostly flat ride but even the hills are easy on the e bikes. You make a few stops including the lighthouse and a coffee and nata rest!

Great experience!

We had a great experience with our tour guide Fatmir. The groups were small so the tour felt very personal. The pace was perfect both for young and old riders. The tour guide had answers for all our questions and the river and sea spots were an excellent addition to our city experience in Porto!
