“One of the best way to experience Porto. It’s a must try. You can’t get this experience in any other way. There are alternative on-land experiences but the sidecar trip is unique, customised to your feelings and exclusive. Each trip is the story of the guests.

He personalized the tour to what he thought we'd find most interesting and took care of every last detail; from having iced waters in the car to scheduling wine tours to booking the boat tour and organizing undoubtedly the most unforgettable meal (lunch) of our entire trip, this was the highlight of our time in Portugal.
