“The experience is a great way to discover the city and do different things! Rui our guide was very nice sharing a bit about the history of the city as well as some funny stories which made the walking part of the tour very enjoyable. The helicopter ride was a great way to explore the city from above as see it from a different angle! We loved it and would have appreciated a longer ride (haha!)”

“Not usually one for guided tours, but this looked like good value. And it really was! Pedro, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgable. The small group and Pedro’s style was a big plus - like getting a private guided tour from your favourite uncle :) Even managed to spot a pod of dolphins on the boat ride. The helicopter ride was the thrill you would expect.”

4.Porto 360°: Helicopter Flight, Guided Walking Tour & River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 81 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $156Best value

Spend about five hours seeing Porto on foot, from the river, and from a helicopter. Guides such as David, Francisco, and Flavia lead the city walk, while the flight gives you views of the Douro, bridges, and old town. Bring headphones for cruise narration and try for the helicopter’s front seat.

“The experience itself was spectacular. Unfortunately we could not carry out the whole experience, I believe that because there were no more people (boat trip and guided tour). However, the guided visit I believe it would be good to be able to maintain, even if there are no more people. The helicopter experience remained, and was extraordinary. Advice.Auto-translated”
