Most fun tour I’ve done of a city. Especially a hilly city like Porto, cannot recommend doing a Segway tour enough. We were able to see all the highlights of the city comfortably and in a fun exciting way. Lia was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about Portugal, Porto and the historic sites of the city. She was personable and the experience was very safe and educational. She also sent us a bunch of food recommendations that were all local with amazing food. Some highlights: bifana, francesinha, piri piri chicken, and seafood. Best deal since we got to tour an amazing city and eat amazing food for days after. Strongly recommend!

As you tour, your guide will describe Porto’s origin as a pre-Roman settlement, talk about Roman times, and how Portugal was reconquered from the Moors in 868, restoring the city of Portucale.
