“Wow! My wife and I had only 24hrs time in Porto. Had to make a decision on how to see this city. Tim-Tuk tours seem very appealing, this website link helped me chose this 3 hour tour. Went over to the tower area and the guide cum tuk-tuk driver Deborah was waiting at the set time. She was truly a very knowledgeable guide. We learnt a lot about this city and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. She drove well too. Got us in time to get some sunset pictures at the beach. Hope she continues to do this part time job as she is a great asset. The online price wax…”
An intimate 1-hour Fado concert in Porto with port wine included, in a small Miragaia tavern far from the crowds.
“This was our first experience with Fado. We’ve had several Flamenco experiences while in Spain. The venue was beautiful and the people were welcoming. We enjoyed the port while waiting. What a treat to experience two styles of Fado. Both were beautiful and moving. The voices, the guitar, the emotion of it. We particularly enjoyed the voice and passion and engagement of the male singer with the cape - I don’t recall his name. What a beautiful and meaningful evening. Highly recommend! The venue layout meant everyone had a great view.”

“Our tour guide Alvero (sorry if we spelt it incorrectly) made our tour experience perfect. He was so personable and knew so much about the city. We got to learn the history without it being too overwhelming. He chose 2 perfect places to try the local port and food. The wine he chose was excellent and the young man who served us was also kind and personable at Dogma - the wine and food pairing was beyond what we expected. He also took us to a few look out points and local experiences. Our first Fado experience was beautiful. You must get this tour - Good value for money.”
