Traveler Reviews

Just an amazing experience! Porto is a beautiful city with a lot of hills and a spectacular riverside all the way to Matosinhos where the beach is. This company provides you with a 100% electric vehicle fro 2 people with free wifi and a GPS with a predefined route. We took the 6 hour drive and we confess that we didn't follow exactly what the GPS told us. No matter because we could go everywhere (except motorways) and so we did. We checked the Serra do Pilar viewpoint (breath taking view of Porto), did a bit of Gaia, did all the way to Matosinhos and the historical center of Porto. Loved it!!! We recommend and for sure will do it again in Porto!
