A brilliant way to spend the morning! Fabio, our guide was absolutely amazing! It was busy in Porto, the weather was gorgeous but he managed to keep us safe while segwaying around with loads of interesting information. I would recommend the Segway tour, and was surprised by how easy it was.

In my opinion and I have segwayed all over the world, Porto is not safe to Segway in. There are cobbled streets, steep hills, traffic and roadworks, raised kerbs and crowds. There are few places you can relax and enjoy it. All the time you are focused on the obstacles not the scenery. The guide was good although we couldn’t hear him over the traffic. Please for your own safety don’t book a Segway ride in Porto, go by foot or TukTuk.

This was a great excursion! Lucas and Maria were our guides and so knowledgeable about the city. Great conversation, and really prioritized safety and getting us comfortable on the segways. They also provided great Porto food recs! Would absolutely recommend

It ended up being a private tour. It was amazing because my guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was like traveling with a friend who knew everything about Porto

I took a tour of Porto with Ana bakx and it was one of the best tours I have ever taken. She’s very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and took me around to see all the sites. I highly recommend using her if you have the opportunity.

Flavie was great! The bikes took a minute to get used to but totally doable. The sites we visited were great. The traffic at the end was a little rough but I would do it again!

Cristina was our guide to all things Porto, and quickly became our new Portuguese friend! She is native born, so proud of her city and expert in the history, foods and wines of her beloved OPorto. Here are some highlights of her magical tour. If was a stunning day in September 2023 and Cristina whisked us away from the crowd and off to a wonderful adventure. The meeting place was the Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral), the most important religious building in Porto built on the highest part of the city next to the walls designed to protect it. We learned of the mix of architectural styles during construction beginning with the Baroque in the twelfth century and later rebuilding, renovations and additions. The Cloister houses its treasures and the column in the middle of the square is where the criminals of Porto were hanged. There were impressive views over the city, the Duoro River and the wine cellars on the waterfront. Next stop was the Sao Bento Railway Station. Do not be discouraged by the renovations and improvement projects. This structure is a stunning reflection of the city’s rich history and culture. The atrium installed in the early 1900s is adorned with 20,000 tile panels (azuejos) telling the stories of war and conquest, country life and development of transportation in Portugal. It is a marvel to behold and every angle, whether of tiled paintings or the French styled railway station, is a picture. We walked the Rua Cristina, Porto’s main shopping street, with its Cafe Majestic, a classic coffee and pastry shop going back over a century where the elite Porto ladies enjoyed a respite and JK Rowling wrote her first Harry Potter novel. Caterina proudly pointed out the shops that sold Portuguese merchandise. And we were awed by the Capelas das Almas or Capela de Santa Catarina with its outside blue and white tiles chronicling the lives of Saint Catherine and S. Francis of Assises gleaming in the sun. Yes, we saw the amazing and newly remodeled Mercado do Bolhao with all tastes of Portugal just in time for a lovely Fado performance. But Cristina, who does food tours, also showed us her favorite small specialty markets including a shop that goes back 123 years and a chocolatier with a worldwide reputation. We did some shopping! The bells tolled at the Tower of Clerigos Church or Ingreja da Clerigo, circa 1759, upon our arrival and, at Cristina’s suggestion, we did not miss the incredible late night multimedia Spritus Light Show in the Chapel followed by delicious pistachio gelato across the street. We walked to the Avenida dos Aliados where we learned of the history of the Camera Municipal do Porto, which is the most beautiful City Hall I’ve ever seen, and were entertained by the story of the battle between Porto and the Ingreja da Trinidad, a 19th century church, as to city planning. Espresso and pasteis de nata was Cristina’s treat at her favorite cafe nearby. The amazing tour ended at the impressive building that was Henry the Navigator’s home on the Douro River in Porto. But Cristina was not done. She kindly responded to our follow-up questions in an email with recommendations that made everyday in Porto a delight. Thank you, Cristina! Keith, Cathy and Jessica

Our tour guide, Miguel, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Porto and also had a great sense of humor and personality. The Segways themselves are amazingly fun and do a great job of going up and down the steep hills of Porto.

Segways are the best way to experience a lot of the city in a smallish group. There are too many bike tour members and it’s harder to collect and hear your guide on a bike when compared to a Segway. We enjoyed our Porto Segway tour with Xavier.

Ana is Porto and Porto is Ana! The city will never go wrong as long as you are showing it off. All the best, Eddie, Dora, Sammy and Daniel.

Sophia our guide was a wealth of knowledge on the area. She made getting around the city a breeze showing all the need to know places. It was great for first timers to get a quick glimpse of the city without having to navigate all the hills on foot.

Our guide Miguel was fantastic. He was humorous, friendly, handled our traffic-anxiety with ease. We felt very comfortable with the segways after only 15 minutes of practice/training. Miguel led us around the city explaining history we could not have found in books. We discussed the culture of the citizens and the building of the country. But the best part...segways were an "absolute blast" according to our two birthday twins!
