“If you have limited time to get a feel for a city, look no further! We zipped around Porto’ narrow, winding and hilly streets like a breeze, we are sure glad we didn’t have to walk them! We stopped at viewpoints and several places of interest and got an insight into the history of this beautiful city. Only thing to note is the location pin point shows the wrong pick up location, the pick up location is just outside of the terminal.”
