“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”

“We had a 48 hour pass for 3 bus routes, 2 walking tours and a night tour. The routes accomplished the goal of seeing a lot of the city. The flexibility to use the lines any time for two days was great. The narration on the buses was sparse however. The walking tours were great. Knowledgeable, pleasant guides who were willing and able to answer most any question. The information on where to meet for one tour was poor and we spoke to two other couples who never found it at all. A street address is needed - not just a street name. The buses started later than some other…”

“It’s been years since I’ve been on a city tour bus hop on hop off. The pre- recorded tour is awful. Volume too low and didn’t tell us what we were passing that were major landmarks. I’d love to pay more to have a real person tell me what’s happening and what I’m seeing. The nice thing is we passed areas that we revisited.”

We only found it the night before, and whilst it was a fantastic way to end our holiday, we wished we had done it earlier in the week! We learnt so much about the city and history of Funchal and saw many things we'd like to explore further. So we'll just have to come back, what a shame :D and have another tour to kick of the holiday of course! Thank you so much Daniella for giving us an unforgettable experience on our last morning! Hopefully see you again in the…”
