About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Stacey F0 contributionsFUN IN PORTOGreat tour guide ! Great fun! Difficult to find and park but awesome. Fran was very kind and informative, she even dropped us off in the Ribiero so that we can do lunch on our own after the tour.Written 2 December 2024
- F1698APmarilynj0 contributionsDid not get a credit for a trip I couldn't make on the tuk-tukI couldn't make the tour so they said they were credit the ticket, but they never did The date was changed from November 5 to the 6 NovemberWritten 24 November 2024
- Inspire453052589160 contributionsTuk Tuk in PortoThe Tuk Tuk tour was fantastic ! Our driver Fran was great and very knowledgeable ! Her insights about the cities and bridges were amazing ! She personalized the tour for us and dropped us off a little early for the next thing on our agenda. Highly recommend !Written 20 November 2024
- adriennesteinway0 contributionsA waste of time and moneyOur tour guide was nice. The problem is the route design. We knew tuks are not allowed in the historic district. Our first stop was good. A high area with great scenic views. Also, there was no microphone or speaker in our tuk tuk, so it was hard to hear. The wind noise and traffic drowned out most of what was said. We mostly drove thru streets with nothing to see. Our thought was we could get a feel and overview of Porto. That was not the case and we were very disapointed.Written 7 November 2024
- K5517HEalexandraw0 contributionsFun, InformativeHow do you recommend, Francesca was a delight. We explored some of Porto, notably, the view from the monastery. It was really nice actually to get To the other side of the river and see Afurada. View of the pounding surf and the public washhouse are stunningWritten 4 November 2024
- F4060ZLjessicas0 contributionsGreat intro to porto!Our tour was great! despite some shutdowns in the city center, our guide (Mac) drove us thru gaia and out to the coast. it was a great intro to proto & its historyWritten 3 November 2024
- marcandr_w1250 contributionsVery good support and presentationThank you to Pedro for this very good presentation of Porto. Very kind and professional I wish you the best Marc and KriselWritten 31 October 2024
- Konnie6040 contributionsGreat experience - highly recommended!This tour was a perfect introduction to Porto. We went to Gaia for beautiful views of the bridge and old town. Then thru the Port district, to a fishing village and the ocean. Tiago was a knowledgeable and fun guide. Because of rules we couldn’t go thru the old town but we liked going to further out spots where we couldn’t walk. Tiago could answer our (many) questions and made the experience enjoyable. He also took the best pictures of our group!Written 31 October 2024
- lilacflower_uk0 contributionsExcellent tourWe booked the tuk tuk tour and our driver was Silvia. She was fabulous. Silvia was very informative about the city of Porto and she was a wonderful safe driver too. We visited many wonderful sites around Porto and Silvia took some fabulous photos for us too for our memories. We will definitely be visiting Porto again and if we do we will definitely ask to book a tour with Silvia again. 10/10 for you SilviaWritten 27 October 2024
- Bevanchez0 contributionsGreat tuk tuk ride with JoaoI did this tuk tuk tour with 3 friends, it was a fantastic experience and our driver, Joao, was very knowledgeable, friendly and good fun. Even though there is a dispute with the local Council so we were forbidden to use some roads in the old centre, Joao still took us to many interesting areas and we learned a lot of interesting facts about Porto from him. Its definitely still worth doing the tour currently so please try it. Joao even took us to Afurada and the beach at the traditional fishing area and recommended an authentic fresh fish restaurant that we went back to that evening which was superb. Joao took time to speak to us during the whole journey and was very entertaining!. We are happy to recommend this trip as a great way to get to know the area. Thank you JoaoWritten 13 October 2024
- chrishV4305EF0 contributionsIf they let you into the city then do it otherwise probable missWe booked the 1.5 hour tour and were told the day before they are no longer allowed to drive in the city so we were given different options. Walking tour, tour with extra time to talk about what we missed but went for the tour that went down the river to the fishing village and then the sea. The guide was 30 minutes late with the explanation of the last tour didn’t want to get out because it was raining-It has been raining for several days! The guide was informative until we went past the second bridge and then didn’t really say anything else. Stopped at a bar in the rain for a stop and a drink but seemed like we needed to extend the tour. Kind enough to drop off by the bridge to walk back as requested and given a list of places to eat which was useful. I think if the tour took you in to the city it would be worth it.Written 8 October 2024
- 529erict0 contributionsHighly recommend, and ask for Diego.Diego was fantastic, warm, funny and knowledgeable. We learned of Porto’s history and things to do while being entertained by our great guide. Highly recommend the private tour!Written 29 September 2024
- B2384HXemilys0 contributionsGreat Overview of Porto!This 1.5 hr tour helped us determine which parts of city that we wanted to explore further with our short time here. Our guide made great restaurant recommendations, too. We also took in some great views, too. If you have a short time in Porto, this is definitely worth it!Written 23 September 2024
- TimNickie20100 contributionsGreat Porto City OverviewAlways a great way to get a solid overview of the city you are visiting, especially one like Porto with narrow & very hilly streets. Our guide Mac was terrific, making sure we saw all the highlights.Written 22 September 2024
- jas01020 contributionsNot a guided tour, but relaxing time on the river.The boat was really nice. Seating was on top, in the front and inside. Staff was very friendly. Just the right amount of time.Written 16 September 2024

Francisco was an amazing tour guide. I recommend if you want to know about the history of Porto, he will educate you like no other. He also took pictures of us and answered all our questions. He would take his time and stop wherever we wanted. Great experience and would recommend 1000%!!

Miguel was exceptional. The tour takes you through all the major parts of Porto so it gives you a pretty good idea of the city. Miguel was super laid back and friendly. He was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of nice little interesting facts. We really enjoyed it. It’s our 5th day in Portugal and we’ve taken other tours guides and none have been so good as Miguel.

My friends and I only had a short time in Porto so we thought the Tuk Tuk would be a great way to see the city and we were so right. First, our flights were delayed, and we were going to be late for the Tuk Tuk pick up location. I phoned and spoke to Diana who offered to have the driver come to our hotel to pick us up. They had no other open tours that day so that was amazing that she offered that service to us. Thank you so much Diana for saving our tour!
We were soon seeing our Tuk Tuk and our awesome driver and guide Francisco. I cannot say enough good things about him and how he loves his job. We were still waiting for the last passenger to arrive, and he patiently waited with us while talking to us about Porto. Then we were off on our wonderful tour. We ended up singing with him throughout most of the tour, he has a great voice. He showed us all the main sites and was so funny. I would recommend Francisco and TukTuk anytime and give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you again!!!!

I had a great tour with guide Gilmar and his lovely assistent Maria. The bikes were in good conditions, the tour lasted for like 3 hours and we headed out to the most popular and also less popular places of Porto. Gilmar has great historical knowledge and takes all the time to answer questions. They both know there way around Porto. Realy nice way to explore the city

We chose the three hour tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. Given the length of the tour, he was able to take us out of the city and along the coast to a fishing village and to Capella do Senhor da Pedra. Highly recommended.

Fatima was excellent, we had such a fun time and weather was perfect for this tour. Thru the small back streets and abundance of Porto historical information was a great introduction to our short break to a beautiful and interesting city. She had a young trainee with her who added additional historical info, overall brilliant.

Francisco drove us in the Tuk Tuk all around Porto and Gaia. He knew the city like the back of his hand and made sure to take us to places that we would want to see most. He was accommodating and took us to get the best Bifanas in the city. It was an amazing experience.

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this company. Our driver wasn’t a very good communicator, often saying things like “that’s XYZ” just as we were driving by (or after we had already passed) a major site, giving us no chance to photograph or meaningfully take in what we were seeing. He also misinformed us about at least one major fact, telling us that one of the bridges we saw was only in active use for one week before being shut down due to instability; when we looked it up later on Wikipedia, we learned it was actually in use for more than 100 years.

The tour was not as expected 9 hours! The actual time until the meal was only about an hour and a half !!
The tour was not as expected from the explanation and attached material.
The tuk-tuk was short, not exhaustive and very shabby. They did not show the important and prominent things in Porto.
After that, we moved on to the car for lunch. Why not tuk tuk?
The meal was delicious, but small and unsatisfying.
There was no last dish. In fact, after the meal the "tour" ended and we were returned to the hotel.
The expectation was greater and we were very disappointed.
The price is very high for value in every parameter. 396 Euros for four !!!
Certainly we would not demand a refund or compensation if we were satisfied, but the word satisfied is far from reality.
not recommended! We read more reviews that gave them one star.

Dear Adialh,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate when our costumers let us know about their experience so that we can have an opportunity to improve our service.
We believe there must have been a confusion since the description you gave us on this review it is not the product we sell. Our half day lasts only 3h.
(Un)fortunately we are all unique, we all have different values, beliefs, emotions and as such it is nearly impossible to please everyone in the same way or at the same level. We do, however, try our very best every day to provide the best possible service to as many travellers as possible and will continue to do so in the future which is why we thank you for your honest feedback.
Kind regards,
Bruno Correia,
Tours Manager.

This Tuk Tuk tour was a delightful way to explore Porto and Gaia. Vanessa was a marvelous guide. We saw so many things in our 3 hours, it’s difficult to identify a single highlight, but it is hard to beat the view from the top of Gaia. We would likely have never gone there without Vanessa and it was stunning. Vanessa shared wonderful bits of history and tales of the city. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tour of Porto!
