“Bluedragon Tours guide Ramon led our group of 10 on an outstanding 3-hour walking tour of historic Porto. Ramon is so upbeat and enthusiastic that you assume he is from Porto (he’s actually an Argentinian who married a woman from Porto!). He made 3 hours fly by with his itinerary and planned stop for coffee and snacks. We loved his happy and insightful comments and his concern for the safety and comfort of his group. We highly recommend this tour and suggest you ask for Ramon if possible.”

“Arnaldo was an excellent guide, giving us insights around the city, its history, interesting facts, and super knowledgeable & friendly. Everything we ate & drank was top notch, and we left feeling like locals, having tried places we likely wouldn’t if we hadn’t done the tour. We definitely recommend it!!”

A 3-hour Porto highlights e-bike tour with Bosch-assisted Riese & Muller bikes, big views from Gaia to Ribeira, plus history stops.
“Antonio was an excellent guide! He made sure we were all safe and had interesting facts and stories about every stop we made. There was no way we could have covered that much ground on our own, so it was a great look at the cities on our first day in Porto…highly recommend!!!”
Jewish heritage walk in Porto from Porto Cathedral to Ribeira Square, with trade stories, Inquisition context, and surviving traces in 3 hours.
“Since most of the Jewish heritage has been erased from Portugal, some special secret spots still remain (at one time, Portugal was 1/3 Jewish). Our guide was wonderful, very smart and informative.”

“Jeremy was our private guide for a walking tour of Porto, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city and looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable guide. He was punctual and made us feel at ease from the start. As he led us through the central areas of Porto, he shared fascinating stories and historical insights that brought each location to life. What really stood out was his dedication—when one of our group members accidentally left her bag on a bench inside a chapel, Jeremy didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile. He literally ran and climbed several flights of stairs to retrieve it for her.…”
Ride Porto by bike for 3 hours, following the Douro and coastline, with guides, helmets, and easy access to sights you cannot reach by car.
“Fantastic tour. We did the NON-electric bike tour. We are in our 50s and moderately fit and coped with the tour without any trouble - but did feel pretty weary later in the evening!! Our guide Lucas was terrific. Combined great knowledge of the city with a cheeky sense of humour - which we really enjoyed. Has given us a great insight to the history of Porto - and showed us where to spend more time in the next couple of days.”
Ride Porto’s Douro and Atlantic in a 3-hour private bike tour with guide, bike, helmet, and major landmarks.

Porto Highlights in 3 hours by e-bike, Douro views, São Bento azulejos, Gaia waterfront and bridges. Small group tour in English.
“It’s a fantastic way to see and learn about the city if you only have a few days in Porto. You cover quite a bit of the city. Anton was a great tour guide and adjusted the tour and stopped in places that had a bit of cover when the rain got heavier. He was also helpful in the beginning to show us the bike basics and to adjust our seats. The only suggestion I would make is to provide towels in the bike bags if even a slight chance of rain. My hands (and clothes) were really wet by the end and face. It would’ve been nice to have…”
Private 3-hour Porto walk with a guide, from São Bento and the Cathedral to Clérigos, then Lello Bookstore with coffee included.
“Good tour but probably should have done small group instead of Private. Our guide was a nice person but wasn't as into it as many of our other guides on this trip. He gave us the required information but it wasn't super special based on the cost of the tour.”
