Seeing Porto on a private Tuk Tuk is a one-of-a-kind experience. Due to their electric motor, the tuk-tuks are entirely silent, which will allow you to hear your guide on busy roads. Porto is an incredible city, but its hills are not for the faint of heart, instead of going up and down the hills on foot, why not grab a tuk-tuk and get an overview of this gorgeous city without breaking a sweat?

Comfort, ease, and information! Let's Discover Porto!

Gustav was a perfect guide - friendly, funny and informative. He showed us all over Porto and told us great stories about the town. Seeing the place by Tuk tuk was a great choice as it is very hilly and we covered a lot of ground in a very comfortable fashion. A great introduction to a beautiful city.

This is a great way to see the city, which is so vast.
Our driver, Mataus, was very friendly, informative and helpful. He gave us lots of information and we stopped to take pictures along the way.
Being in a small vehicle meant we could travel down some of the narrower streets, which was fab.
Would definitely recommend this tour

We had a classic red wine for an hour in Los Clerigos and upon arriving in Gaià he left us 10 minutes to visit the cannery. Upon returning. He told us that time was up and that if we wanted to return to the clerics we had to pay again.
A scam. I don't recommend them.

The Douro River was the most memorable. Our tour guide had no experience as a guide. He has no knowledge of history since he only moved here 2 years ago. Our trip was mostly silence during our tour.

Joao was a great tour guide, really friendly, and safe. Porto is very hilly and to get all the view points in this city that is impossible to drive in, a tuk tuk tour is the way to go!
