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!

Thank you, Joao!
Such a cool tour. Joao showed us interesting street art while explaining parts of the city. He was incredibly knowledgeable and spent a lot of time describing the art and the story behind the artists. He even pointed out local shops and restaurants to us too. We loved it. He is a true gem and we can’t recommend enough.

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!

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!

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!

Wonderfully informative
Very well informed, both on the street art pieces - even very recently new ones, and the history of the town. Took us to areas we hadn't yet visited and streets we likely would never have gone down. Highly recommend. It's something we do in every town we visit.
