U paseo distinto en tuk tuk
Una experiencia muy agradable en tuk tuk, ideal para conocer otra cara de Oporto. Aunque el día estaba encapotado y no pudimos disfrutar del todo las vistas desde Serra do Pilar, el recorrido por el Cais de Gaia y especialmente Afurada valieron mucho la pena. Un lugar con alma y mucha autenticidad.
Perfeito passeio para conhecer coisas diferentes
Que passeio gostoso! O tuk tuk é super confortável e a guia foi muito gentil. Amamos conhecer o Cais de Gaia e tirar fotos com aquele visual incrível. Afurada então… adorei! Simples, acolhedora.
Très plaisant
Une très belle découverte en tuk tuk ! Notre guide était charmant et attentif. Nous avons adoré la vue depuis Serra do Pilar et la balade à Afurada, un petit village authentique où la vie de pêcheur continue paisiblement. Un moment hors du temps.
Perfect family tour, a different look of Porto
Perfect family tour! The tuk tuk was super fun for our son and easy for my parents. The stop at Serra do Pilar gave us amazing photos, and Afurada was a gem—calm, authentic, and full of charm. Great guide, very kind and patient!
Very beautiful
A beautiful experience! I enjoyed the river views and the peaceful walk by the Port Wine Cellars. Afurada was the highlight—authentic and quiet, with very friendly locals. The guide made me feel safe and well taken care of.
