What people are saying about Foz do Douro

A wonderful bike tour that took us in downtown Porto, across the river to Gaia, and also up along the river path a little bit too. Very easy to do with the electric bikes and appreciated that it took us to see highlights with good views. Eduarda was our guide for 5 people, and it was easy to follow her on the bikes. The tour felt relaxed and enjoyable, and I would recommend for anyone looking to get in a lot of different views of the city easily and without having to walk up all the hills on your own!

It was likely our best experience in Porto — and we had many great experiences. Enmanuel was our guide was extremely nice, smart and made the ride, very enjoyable and fulfilling —he was a very knowledgeable historian. The ebikes were awesome!

Highly recommend the bicycle tour. 3 hours went like a breeze. Best way to check out Porto with an electric bike. Antonio can never make the tour boring.

Fun, informative, and interactive! A great way to understand the close proximity of major landmarks from Porto and Gaia.
