Reviews

amazing tour by Teresa!

We really enjoyed this bicycle ride along the river. It was fun and we learned some background on Porto. We had a nice stop halfway and luckely didn’t need to cycle back up the hill (bike return was also along the riverside).
Great scenery and no stress experience

We booked the riverside tour which considering how hot the weather was, this was a perfect trip. The electric bikes made riding very easy and the pace being led was very comfortable with mainly riding on pavements. Reaching the end of the river where it meets the Atlantic was very refreshing with the cool air coming in from the Sea. After going up the coast a little further, we returned the way we came back into Porto, stopping off for a custard tart and drink.

Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommended for a hot day.
First class

Perfect guided by Theresia. The trip off shore was just up and down along the coast. It was easy to cycle (down Hill)without e-bike.
Good way to see different part of the city

It was good, cool way to see a different part of the city. Don’t get much history about the city but the sights and tour guide was nice. Some bikes kept breaking throughout the session which wasn’t great, make sure to check yours fully before leaving.
