Top Porto Sidecar Tours

Great from start to finish, did on our first evening so was great to get our bearings. Pedro our driver was really helpful and recommended places to visit/eat. Yes it’s not the cheapest tour but it was very personal, something completely different and worth every penny!

This tour was by far the highlight on our European trip. Our guide Pedro was amazing. He took us to some incredible sights in Porto and his wealth of knowledge was exemplary. It was easy to book and Joao who took our booking was so accommodating as we had to change our times twice due to weather. He meet within our needs to assure this went ahead for us. If there is only one tour that you can do I would strongly suggest booking with these guys, you will not regret it. Thank you Pedro for making this a truly memorable experience for us, hopefully you get to Australia one day.

We wanted to do something special for our 40th anniversary. The lovely and knowledgeable Pedro took us around Porto and Gaia on his new motorbike and sidecar. It was a great and memorable trip.

Our guide was so kind, thoughtful, cautious and respectful of not only us, but pedestrians or other vehicles as well. We saw so much of Porto - it’s an experience beyond words. I strongly recommend the all day tour that includes a tour of the oldest winery of port wines. The day was altered to the interests of two senior ladies who had a blast. We even went to the fisherman area for fresh fish cooked on an outdoor grill…amazing. The day had plenty of stops for photos along with some short guided walking tours…a perfect balance to stretch and explore. You’re going to love it too!!!

Pacio met us 10 minutes early and we had a chat about everything we had already seen while in Porto to give him a plan for us to see as much new sites and areas as possible. Pacio then asked preferences such as beach or city, Porto or Gaia, the tour was tailored to exactly what we wanted and throughout the evening Pacio gave options and choice. Pacio stopped at amazing viewing points for photos and as a bonus he was a very passionate and talented photographer. The price of the tour alone was worth it for the quality and the amount of photos all taken from viewing points only a local would know. This was by far the best experience we had in Porto and we felt Pacio's knowledge of local history and ability to chat and answer questions while the motorcycle was moving enhanced the experience. If you're in Porto for a short period of time this is by far the optimum way to see the most sites while learning about the history with a really friendly very informed guide and also an exhilarating way to travel the small streets of the city. As a bonus we had a meal booked in a resteraunt after the tour and Pacio dropped us to the door, the guy could not have been more helpful, highly recommend.

If you are thinking about booking this excursion, you won’t regret it. This tour gives you a personal experience that is completely different and far better than the generic group-led tours. I recently booked this tour for myself and my 80-year-old mother. Yes, you heard that right! She rode in the sidecar comfortably for the six hour excursion and said that it was the most fun she had in many years. The tour guide, Pacio, was amazing and made us feel like we were touring the town with a friend. He was extremely accommodating and customized the activities for our preferences, also taking many pictures of us along the way. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city and its history. He even had a few very nice treats for us along the way. The motorcycle also allows you to access many roads and beautiful sites that larger vehicles would not have access to. My mother had no problem getting in and out of the sidecar and the better access to sites meant more to see with less walking for her, which was perfect. I’ve gone on many excursions, but this was by far the best one. It is definitely worth the price for the amazing personal experience and memories. If you’re thinking about booking it, just do it as you absolutely will not regret it. Thank you Pacio for the wonderful memories of Porto!

Lots of fun and a different way to see the sights. You could walk but why would you when you can zip from Place to Place looking at everything with a great guide to showcase the best bits.

Such a fun experience with Pacio, our guide. We gained a good understanding of the layout of Porto and Pacio was very generous in imparting his knowledge of the city to us. We can highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed very much the Sidecar tour and it surpassed our expectations. The Sidecar was spotless. Joao explained to us and showed us like a great Historian. Plus, he is very funny. He very much knows Porto and how to enjoy the time. I highly recommend him.

So fun seeing the highlights of Porto with Joao! We did a quick two hour tour, and Joao did a wonderful job hitting the high points and educating us on the city.

What an amazing day and the best way to experience all that Porto has to offer! Beautiful views, private experience, amazing lunch with the freshest sea bass and really unique port tasting. Loved it!

You will have an experience you won’t soon forget. João went above and beyond to make our tour special (not to mention being a huge help with my broken iphone). I cannot say enough good things about him. He has a infectious passion about the history and culture. It is the best way to have fun seeing the sights and learning of this beautiful city.

The guide was fantastic. Hugely enthusiastic and very knowledgable. A great way to get an overview of and feel for the city in a short period of time

Don't think twice abut booking this tour. Seeing the sites in these unique sidecars was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend. Our guides João and Pedro were incredibly.

Fantastic! Joao has excellent command of Portugal history, very engaging and fun spirited. Di many special extras with recommendations and local “bests” Highly recommend! Dave and Diane from Chicago

Every moment felt thoughtfully curated and effortlessly enjoyable.The experience ended on a high note with a refreshing glass of rosé, followed by a seamless drop-off at an incredible seafood restaurant—an ideal way to continue soaking in the city’s charm. If you want to truly make the most of your time in Porto, this tour is an absolute must
