3h30 tour in Porto by Tuk Tuk

Never showed up

Never showed up waited for 45 mins ended up booking another tour very disappointed. Had to scout out another tour at booth on the street, more expensive and not quite the same. Contacted tour guide argued with us, but I took photos of where we were standing waiting so got a refund

Response from the operator: My lady. Without disrespecting you, you didn't even respond to the messages I sent. I was there for 45 minutes but I was waiting for you and you never showed up. I received the message that you only arrived in my city around 6 pm. These messages are recorded by Viator. It's very bad to defame services since you were the ones who were to blame and didn't even show up. Limit yourself to complying with your skills and not mistreating the people whose work day you ruined.

Amazing experience

Our guide was very knowledgeable as he was born and raised in Porto. Going down little streets that no bus/coach could take you. He allowed us plenty of time to visit the churches/museums, advising us which was a good one to visit. Our trip took us to both side of the river. We went to a beautiful garden where we were treated to the local wine. This was definitely worth the money and 3.5 hour journey. We saw alot more than we were expecting and would absolutely recommend doing this experience. In fact if I go back I would do this trip again.

Nice sightseeing in porto

Nice sightseeing in Porto The tour was a little shortened because there was a running race along the Douro. Good commentary from the guide. 2 30 instead of 3:30 Old noisy Tuk tuk but with charm

BUYER BEWARE! Fake promises

BEWARE! This is probably the worst tour we took in our two week Portugal vacation. The web page shows fake pictures, as it includes pictures of traditional tuk tuks, and we got two reconverted electricar cars and one traditional tuk tuk, which also arrived late. Then, as we arrived, we were told that tuk tuks are not allowed into Portos historical quarter since October so we had to walk in some points. This is not said in the web page, nor it was told before we arrived at the appointed place, even though the operator contacted me the day before to confirm. We ended up walking for about 50% of the tour, and my father has limited mobility as he is 79 and has bad knees. Furthermore, the guides were not particularly knowledgeable, and showed little enthusiasm during the tour. Do yourself and your companions a favor and skip this underwhelming tour that does not deliver as promised.

Response from the operator: This gentleman is not aware of what a tuk tuk really is in my country. These tuk tuk are approved by my country, they are original and not converted. In addition to your knowledge being zero in this profession. In continuation, this gentleman paid for the tour, he was warned that we are in court with the Porto City Council and that we could not do the whole tour inside the historic center. Now this gentleman says we don't notice anything about Porto. We are local guides with training and we perceive it well and explain better for those who really want to pay and not after doing the tour want to be reimbursed just because. If you want to pay and then ask for a refund like this gentleman, then please don't choose this service. In addition, we still left you in the place where you wanted to stay. I consider my service very good and 5 stars. There really are more people in our world.

Perfect way to see the city

This was a perfect way to see Porto! Our guide Sergio showed us all the cool spots in the city. We loved the photo worthy spots such as the monasteries and the cathedral, and climbing up the cathedral’s tower.
