Guided Scooter Tour – Essencia do Porto (Half day)

About this experience

With its historic center classified as World Heritage, Porto presents itself as a city of contrasts, consisting of rough and small houses, interrupted here and there by monumental churches and palaces.
To complement this perfect symbiosis, we have the tripeiro, capable of being rude and generous at the same time, and having in their authenticity a common characteristic, which is rare in the people of large cities.
In this adventure on two wheels, we will go through some of the most emblematic places in the city of Porto. We will pass by beautiful viewpoints, labyrinthine streets and rural corners in the center of the city, inaccessible by other means. To complete this perfect experience, our dynamic guides will tell you some of the most interesting legends and traditions in the city, as well as its historical evolution.
