4.Highlights in 3 Hours E-Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 290 reviews · from $53

Ride 13 km through Porto and Gaia with a Portuguese local guide, using a Bosch-powered Riese & Müller e-bike. Visit São Bento Station, Porto Cathedral, Clérigos, Palácio de Cristal, and top river viewpoints while getting food tips and help on Porto’s steep streets.

“The tour was a very fun experience. I would recommend this tour on the first day to get to know Porto and then walk around to explore more in depth. The e-bikes were amazing, but would not recommend to anyone who is not really comfortable biking on busy streets with lots of cars. Lots of uphills and downhills that could be challenging for people who are not confident with bicycles. But, overall was a really good tour for me and my partner.”

The electric bikes worked seamlessly, the staff at the shop were friendly and efficient and our tour guide Philippe was knowledgeable on the city, history and happy to share stories about the culture and language. Despite Porto being hilly, we took a tour down the river, to the coat and port so it wasn’t hard cycling although there were other options to choose from. We’d happily recommend to anyone wanting to experience real life in the city.”

“Heel leuke fietstocht gedaan langs de kust. Geen elektrische fietsen, maar alles was plat en waren zeer kwalitatieve fietsen. Enige minpunt: je kreeg de uren door van de boot en tussen welke uren je bij de portoproeverij kon gaan, maar wanneer we daar kwamen in de late middag, bleek dat je moest reserveren voor je bezoek. We konden dan nog wel reserveren voor die dag, maar konden daardoor de boottocht niet meer doen. Best dus 's morgens al je proeverij vastleggen.”
