“What a fabulous experience and a great way to see / feel the highlights of Porto. Our guide Rodrigo Festas is so knowledgeable and has a true passion for the history of his beloved town. A self confessed Porto Geek.. but we all loved it. He also shared his top tips for us to use going forward. Despite a heavy shower, it did not detract from the trip so please do not let the weather put you off. The e-bikes are excellent so no real fitness required (but turn on to Eco and have a decent workout!) We would def do again. 10/10”

“Heel leuke fietstocht gedaan langs de kust. Geen elektrische fietsen, maar alles was plat en waren zeer kwalitatieve fietsen. Enige minpunt: je kreeg de uren door van de boot en tussen welke uren je bij de portoproeverij kon gaan, maar wanneer we daar kwamen in de late middag, bleek dat je moest reserveren voor je bezoek. We konden dan nog wel reserveren voor die dag, maar konden daardoor de boottocht niet meer doen. Best dus 's morgens al je proeverij vastleggen.”
