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!

Tiago was our driver/guide and he was super! Our tour was at 4:30p which was in the midst of rush hour traffic but Tiago knew the short cuts to circumvent traffic and we zipped around the city without missing a beat. By the end of the tour, we had a good understanding of the city’s layout, history and key landmarks. Visibility is somewhat limited was while riding around (due to tuk tuk canopy roof top) but he stopped at key vista points so we could enjoy the views and take pictures. Very positive experience. Very glad we did this tour and happy that Tiago was our guide!

The views from Gaia were the best part of our ride. They were breathtaking! Our guide, Barbara, was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed the ride a lot, but some of the places we just passed by quickly. It’s a great way to get around quickly in the crowded streets.

Our tour guide Deborah was wonderful! This was a great way for my parents to see Porto without having to navigate the steep hills and uneven sidewalks. We learned a lot of fun facts about the city and even got to stop for a photo op. So well worth the effort, everyone had a wonderful time!!
