A wonderful experience with Ernan - our guide (hope I do not misspell your name). He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, flexible and the organization was perfect (pick up, timing of activities, lunch, etc.) The company managed to react very promptly and schedule this trip within 24 h prior to our chosen date (being the 2nd of January) which was not available by any other provider! The drive was enjoyable, and we recommend this trip to all who want to combine history, beauty, fun, gastronomy, and a personal attitude. Thank you Ernan! Marina & family.

The hop-on/hop-off is great for getting to all the important places in Porto. I never had any problems with the headphone jacks, which is a common problem with their buses. Unfortunately, the information at the stops is not very good (perhaps only in German) when you can change to the boat tour, for example. I didn't find the blue line that exciting, but from there you have the best view of the "Ponte Maria Pia" bridge. If you take the 48-hour ticket you save on public transport. Most things are within walking distance

The tour was amazing. Mrs Maria Sanchez gave us a little tour of the city. We wish we met her on our first day of our stay in Porto. She is a very nice lady and will give you tips of what the city has to offer. We will come back to continue the visit. The fado show was very interesting. We can feel the emotions of the singers. The food was nice. Overall a great experience.

Hop on hop off was very good value for money , bought 48 hr one , included walking tour , night tour & couple of cellars with wine tasting . Nothing to fault at all .

the guides Nuno and Jose were very well informative and excellent too. Although the weather was very bad we enjoyed every minute of it.
