Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Last December was our second time booking with Julio to visit Fatima and Coimbra. It was an anniversary gift to my parents and they absolutely loved it! Julio, as always, has gone above and beyond making the trip as easy as possible and making sure that none of the important places/info were missed! He went through the trouble to make sure that my dad had a seat during the busy service at the chapel in Fatima, as he cannot stand for longer periods of time, drove us closer to the uni in Coimbra, and spoke to the library attendants, so there would be extra time for my dad to climb the steps and enjoy his visit. There was nothing that was too much for this amazing guide! And, of course, there were a few special places that only whilst doing his tour, you will be able to visit/know of.
Every centimo of Euro was worth it and we will definitely use Julio's second to none services again. Hopefully next to explore more of the D'Ouro Valley and perhaps Compostela .
Obridado, amigo Julio!

My sister and I took a 6 hour Vespa tour of Porto and it was the best time! Julio greeted us right on time, spoke perfect English, and took the time to make sure my sister and I were both comfortable on the Vespas before taking off. He took us all over the city and we stopped at each location to learn more about the beautiful city. We had a good lunch, and even stopped for a port wine tasting in the afternoon. It was our favorite tour while we were in Portugal and I highly recommend it!

Exploring Porto on Vespas was such a fun experience and introduction to the vibrant city . We felt connected to the movement , sounds, smells, views and colours . Julio was very passionate and knowledgeable about Porto and Portugal, while showing us the old town, port area and surrounding beaches. Julio was a great communicator and incredibly generous with his time, also providing recommendations for wine tasting, bars and reataurants to visit. It was fantastic value as the extended 6 hours included lunch and porto wine tasting. Julio is also a great photographer and he captured our day with his camera effortlessly , sending us the photos ... we loved receiving them ! Highly recommend Julio and his tours

I had heard great things about Julio's Vespa tour around Porto from friends who had done the tour earlier in the year. I texted Julio on very short notice and he was quick to get back to me and fit me into his schedule for the next day. Julio took me on a wonderful 3 hour tour of Porto, showing me all the best spots in town and stopping along the way for pictures, view points and for Julio to share Porto's history with me.
I highly recommend this tour - Julio is extremely kind and cares about making sure you have the best experience possible. This is the best way to see Porto like a local - a must do!

Julio is a national treasure. We booked this tour at the recommendation of a friend, and it was everything she said it would be. Julio was extremely communicative, patient, and enthusiastic. He tailored the tour to our interests and Vespa skill level. This guy seriously loves his city, and that love is contagious. Great views, great photos (Julio has a knack for capturing the perfect shot), great little snippets of city history. Touring by Vespa is the best of both worlds—we covered more ground than if we’d walked, but we could go places a car wouldn’t fit. We had an incredible dinner at a beachside restaurant he recommended. 11/10!! We agreed it was so fun we’d do the exact tour over again if we came back (although we’re sure he would add new locations, facts, and recs).

My wife and I just returned from a month-long trip of Portugal. We went to Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos, Evora, Sages, Coumbra, Porto, the Douro, Guimaraes, and Viana do Castelo. Porto was an absolute highlight. Julio took us around for 2 days. On the first he showed us the vibrant city of Porto, including historic and contemporary sites. The second day he showed us the charming city of Aveiro. He explained the history of area and also how the local people live now. And he took us to the best restaurants! I highly recommend him as a tour guide!

Julio was excellent in making the reservation. I shared a general idea of what we wanted in a tour and Julio built it into a dream excursion. Communication was excellent and he was understanding, and accommodating, of our lateness caused by a Railroad strike. His concern for our safety was evident in both his instruction before the tour and actions during the tour. He truly loves Porto and his passion made us very engaged n the tour. He does more than Vespa tours and I would recommend working with him for your entire visit to Porto. This may be the best tour experience I have had in 9 visits to Europe. We booked a tour and gained a friend from in Julio.

I don't know what words can best describe my experience, but I can say one thing: it was absolutely the best decision I made on my whole holiday! The experience with Julio on the Vespa was magical. He is such a wonderful person with an indescribably beautiful soul! I felt so comfortable and thanks to him I felt the flair of Porto. It is unforgettable and I thank him very much for his commitment and showing and telling about his city with great passion!

This was a fantastic adventure and I would highly recommend it. Julio is fantastic!! He took the time at the beginning to make sure we were comfortable with the operation and maneuvering of the Vespa to ensure everyone would be safe. We saw many sights that we would not have otherwise seen, and Julio provided valuable insight into each location.
Julio’s services do not end when the tour is completed, he will remain a valuable source of information, tips and friendship well into the future.
If you are not comfortable driving a Vespa yourself, you can ride double with someone who is.
Do not hesitate to book this tour as it is well worth your time.

Julio is the best! I did my ride in the morning. The weather was perfect, and Julio, who speaks really good English, took me to all of the best spots in the City. I was still jet-lagged when I took the tour, but Julio makes it easy to orient yourself in his beautiful city.
The Vespa was in excellent condition. You can tell that he maintains his fleet. Even though three hours is plenty of time to see the sights on a Vespa, I almost asked if I could extend my tour because it was so much fun riding.
Finally, Julio is a really nice guy. You can tell that he loves Porto and cares about whether you’re enjoying yourself. On top of that, he tells you to contact him for advice or suggestions — and I did, more than once, both before and after my tour. Sorry, Julio 😊
I can’t recommend this tour enough. It is well-worth the money. Do it! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Julio 🙏

I believe we paid him $100 for a half day tour for both. It was well worth the money.
