My visit to Porto was a gift to my parents and they absolutely loved it! The tour was perfect, we met at the given time and learnt so much about the history. The guide was a lovely gentleman who was very passionate about his city. He really made us feel welcomed, as my parents don’t speak English very well; he made the effort to learnt to greet them in Albanian and kept checking in on them which was very sweet. As we were the only ones from the group that had booked a cruise, he was so helpful and made sure that we got to where we needed to he and explained everything very well. Only thing I would say is that the tour finished at around 1pm therefore was not 8hrs but this was fine for my parents as it was very hot that day and they were getting tired!

Generally a good product, however, some of the actual benefits listed on the documentation received when collecting the Porto card differed from that advertised on Booking.com - instances included visits that were listed on Booking.com as free, you only received a discount and some discounts were less than advertised on Booking.com. It was obvious that the website was not being kept updated. Collection at Porto airport was also problematic - I purchased a 4-day pass (a 4-day travel card) which the representative initially refused to issue due to running out of stock, after much discussion I was issued with a 1-day travel card and a 3-day travel card - so was able to get about without having to visit the main tourism office in central Porto.

Blue Dragon tours, specifically Diana our guide, was fantastic! The company was well organized and provided very nice ebike equipment. Diana was friendly, calm and patient with our family of 4, always checking to make sure we were doing well and safe in traffic. The 3hr mid-morning ride starting at 10am was perfect since we didn’t have to wake up too early with teenagers and the streets weren’t as crowded. Highly recommend this outfit and don’t forget to ask for Diana!

Sid was a terrific guide. He tuned into the group and answered every question happily dealing with random comments and queries. He made sure to keep everybody included and watched out constantly for our safety. We loved his relaxed approach and encyclopaedic knowledge of Porto and its history. The small group made this tour a success.

We only had one evening in Porto and decided to sign up for this tour. Our guide, Gregorio, was excellent! Not only did we get explanations of each dish and the vinho served with it but he shared so much more about the history, culture and even architecture of the area. It was time well spent. Thanks!
