PORTO TUK TUK TOURS
A tuk-tuk exists here because the hills are brutal and the lanes are too narrow for a coach. The 15 below are compared on route, how long you get, whether the driver guides or just drives, and the price per seat.

“Beware. I booked this for 8 people and it was more expensive than most Tuk Tuk tours. They did not follow the itinerary AT ALL. My group especially wanted to go to the crystal gardens. They even drove us outside of town (unplanned) to a parking lot along the coast, gave us some wine, and then drove us back into town and dropped us off. They barely gave us any history about Porto. When I asked for a refund I was completely ignored by the company. I usually only write five star reviews but I’m inspired to warn others on this one. Don’t waste your time or money with Portotuk.…”

“Tuk-Tuk tour was a little disappointing, no longer than about 40 mins and didn’t give much historical context to some of the sights that were pointed out. However, with the Port tasting and river cruise included (both of which we did the following day) this is great value for money and I’d recommend.”

“Our guide made the experience! He was funny and informative. He knew all the other Tuk tuk drivers and joked with them. They joked back and it was a good feeling.

“Francisco picked us up at our hotel and from that moment it was a total Porto experience. He toured us around in the car through major areas of the center of town pointing out historic places. Then we met up with Suzanne, our fearless Tuk-Tuk driver. She whizzed us through the narrowest of streets into neighborhoods a car would not be able to go. We went across the river to view the city from on high. Later Francisco met us and drove us to the Atlantic coast to a local restaurant where we had grilled fish and wine- a feast we couldn’t finish! This was truly more than a tour,…”

I'm glad we stopped at the famous bridge in Porto, the beautiful McDonald's and the large art installation called 'She Changes'. They weren't listed on our itinerary but were appreciated. We should have made some stops, but didn't, including the Cordoaria's Garden and the Serra do Pilar Monastery. Overall, it was a very good way to see the city in a few hours.”
