What a nice, funny and caring guide.
We went the unused tourist route, we did not meet any other guides and cyclists.
We enjoyed all the stories and facts.
Lots of laughter and fun.
Highly recommended!

An amazing day with Bruno!
We had an amazing full day tour with Bruno. The Monserrat Palace and beautiful views off the beaten path were perfect. The lunch spot was also amazing!

The best local flavor by bike
There is just no other way to experience so much of Porto, Gaia, and the fishing villages around than on bike. Anselmo was amazing in navigating the terrain (you cannot completely avoid the hills) and getting us to beautiful views. His love of biking, his town and the people come shining through. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can handle a bike well!

Great time in Sintra
We had a great time seeing the Sintra area with Andres. Lunch at Francisco’s house was special and delicious! I’d highly recommend the jeep tour - it’s a great way to see a lot of the area that would be inaccessible with the tour!

Biking is a great way to see Porto
I highly recommend Anselmo. He is a very knowledgeable guide and an amazing cyclist. As Porto is hilly, you can ride the bike and get an amazing workout or even rent an e bike and just have a cruise. either way you cannot go wrong with hiring Anselmo to be your guide! i rate him 10 out of 10 as he is knowledgeable, experienced, and a super guy!

André took my wife and I on a detailed tour. He was friendly, interesting and struck a very nice balance between sharing relevant history and modern insights on Portugal

How to see hidden highlights of Porto
Anselmo was perfect to guide us to parts of Porto that you’d never normally find- the best way to see a new place. And unforgettable.

Cycling- best way to see the city views
Terrific host and we felt like we were able to see some great views of the bridges but also some quieter hidden areas that most tourists don’t go to. Terrific host and he has extensive local knowledge and also guides trip through the Duoro Valley, and we trust him to be a great guide wherever he took you!
