Reviews

Fantastic opportunity!!
brindap2018, 07-09-2022
Don’t pass up an opportunity to take this tour! Joao is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing Portugal - kind and accommodating, and worked hard to make sure the experience was perfect. The cycle and side car got us into some tight spots and up close to all the attractions. I wish this type of tour was available everywhere.
When in Porto, definitely do the sidecar tour!!!

João gave the extra mile, 100% recommended! Gave us a tour filled with uncommon anecdotes, unique stops and excellent communication and professionalism. Hope everyone who visits Porto has the chance to do the sidecar tour!
Best way to see Porto - in a sidecar!
ClaireBee37, 20-09-2022
Literally the best way to see Porto - from a sidecar! Joao was great fun, and gave us a perfect introduction to his wonderful city, gave a great history on the famous historic figures and buildings of Porto and brought us to so many unmissable viewpoints and down alleyways and roads we may not have seen otherwise. Even though the weather wasn't the best, it didn't dampen our spirits! :) Thoroughly recommend this tour, There are none like it! From a fellow motorbike enthusiast! Obrigada!
Phenomenal tour!

We had the most incredible time doing this!! We booked an all day tour that was easily worth every penny. It was such a fun and unique experience! João was so knowledgeable about everything from the history, culture and best places to eat. The wine tour that was included was phenomenal. If he wasn't booked out the next day we would have snagged him for another tour!
An excepcional trour

Don´t miss this tour, is very different from the others options.

Jao was the guide and drove the sidecar with very good expertise.
he is very kind and showed me different neighborhoods of Porto and amazing steets.
The morning tour was so delightful that I booked the afternoon tour including the sunset and Jao brought glasses to share a toast with an exquisite Porto wine.
He gave me a present a bottle of wine.
Both tours were exceptional with a lot of fun and amazing sceneries.
Thank you very much
