About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- saramscoelho0 contributionsAbsolulety uniqueDouro is absolulety unique and this is a must-go trip! Thank you bedriven, I enjoyed every minute of the experience!Written 6 March 2023
- Meander6346650 contributionsExcellentThis is the second time that I have used this provider. Driver was on time and very helpful. I will definitely use in the future.Written 18 November 2022
- jslavender0 contributionsNot a reliable companyThis tour sounded great, I booked it well in advance. Proceeded from US to Porto, Portugal and stayed in the Hotel. We were there two days prior to scheduled tour. The company knew the hotel, since they were picking us up there. On the day of the tour, not having excess to my e-mail we waited out front for the tour operator, no one showed up. Another tour guide was extremely helpful, and placed a call to the tour operator (BE Driven) for me that is how I found out the company had cancelled the tour. I went inside the hotel, called from the hotel phone and talked to someone apparently working for the company, hard to tell since there was children and household noise in the background. The man said they cancelled the tour because they didn't have a driver. Since the company knew well in advance of the date and time of tour, wondering why they didn't have a driver, he didn't know either. Just said, sorry it's cancelled. The company should have contacted the hotel, via phone and left a message for me, not everyone has a phone or access to e-mail in a foreign country. No, they didn't bother doing that at all. It should be noted, that I also used the company BE DRIVEN for a airport pick-up upon arrival. They couldn't do that well either, )see review). So my advice, if they can't secure a driver, can't manage a professional office staff or try to notify the customer, then the tour will be bad.Written 4 November 2022
- jslavender0 contributionsDon't use BE DRIVEN or you will be driven crazy.Sad to say, no driver at the airport. After more than 45 minutes and several phone calls later a driver shows up. He said, he wasn't our driver, but was called by the company (BE DRIVEN). We were staying in the heart of Porto, near the Douro river in an hotel that had been there for ever, however, this guy couldn't find it, even with GPS. After nearly an hour of driving to Porto and around he dropped us off where he "thought" it was. Lucky for us upon exiting the vehicle and walking a half a block, with luggage, I saw it. Won't be using this company for anything in the future.Written 20 October 2022
- NixBelgium0 contributionsGreat to do, even with small kidsTip: do the stadium your first and then take your time for the museum. The museum is fantastic, really well done. The pride of Porto is really felt here. Highly recommended! The stadium tour also very cool, though the tour guide could have displayed a bit more enthusiasm about Porto’s beloved Football team and its stadion.Written 9 August 2022
- Michael J0 contributionsCouldn’t have been betterWow! We couldn’t have picked a better tour of the Douro. Our driver Sergio is obviously doing what he was meant to do - from the moment we met, he was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and tireless in his efforts to make our day memorable. Cannot recommendation this tour enough. The two wineries we visited were well-chosen, the scenery was breathtaking, lunch was a feast, and Sergio was the best. 5 stars!Written 9 March 2020
- happygardener500 contributionsRetiredWe had Sergio as our driver. He was very friendly and the time just flew by. Our visit to the Quinta do Tedo was fabulous. A great tour and port tasting. The view from the winery was fabulous. Our lunch was outstanding. It was a small restaurant in Pinhão. There was enough food and wine to feed an army. The church visit was great too. The Duoro tour was great. You need a whole day to see everything.Written 20 January 2020

- JoannaandMatthew0 contributionsReally excellent way to arrive in Porto from the airportCannot fault it. Our flight was early. Pleasant, helpful driver who was waiting with our name on a board at the exit to customs and took us away to his car nearby in the car park. The address that we had for our destination was slightly awkward but he worked out where was the closest point to drop us to join our Douro cruise boat.Written 7 October 2019

Visiting Portugal has been the best experience of my life.
From North to South the country is wonderful, (especially the south) but this visit to Braga and Guimarães was different, every day more impressed with this country.
Thank you BeDriven for all your attention and for providing us with such incredible days.

We were picked up on time by a nice gentleman, who told us we were the only pair on the tour. We had a n eight seater and the guide / driver to ourselves. A knowledgeable person willing to pass on his knowledge and also willing to listen to us. We had a great tour nothing was too much trouble, he took us to ride the funicular railway at Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Braga, the best known religious sanctuary in Portugal picking us up from the bottom.
Sadly i cannot remember his name but he was from SA. A thoroughly recommended tour.

Bonjour j'ai deux questions :
Quel est la différence entre le tour simple et la navette ?
Est qu'il y a un guide francophone ?
Merci par avance pour votre réponse !

Somos un matrimonio de 68 y 78 año respectivamente. Llegamos a Oporto a las 10,45 del dia 23-2-19, en Air Europa. Tenemos vehiculo propio. Nos agradaría contactar en Braga con guia, en español, preferentemente exclusividad, para conocer Braga y siendo un placer se sirva acompañarnos en las refecciones que sean oportunas. Sin límite de tiempo hasta contemplar lo mejor que la ciudad pueda ofrecernos.
