We are very pleased with the service we received. The driver was prompt and friendly, worked some very heavy bags we had brought, and was a very courteous and safe driver. The conversation on the way down was fantastic, as we peppered him with many questions and recommendations. Can not stress enough how happy we were to pick him for our transport.

We had booked this trip months ago and were not sure what to expect. It was expected to be a small group and really lucked out when it turned out to be just the 2 of us!. We had the best driver Celso Araujo with his very confortable BMW and our very knowledgeable, polite and professional guide Gonzalo Murta. Celso was very cautious of the road as he drove us while Gonzalo gave us a very detailed history of how Portugal came to be throughout the years of wars and conquests, very impressive!. He really knew his stuff. Once in Porto we had of course a porto wine tasting which was included in our tour and it was really very interesting. Afterwards we had lunch in a typical Portuguese restaurant(delicious) and then on to a 50 minutes river cruise also included in our tour. We walked the town as Gonzalo pointed out most of its landmarks, did some souvenir shopping and returned to the car which Celso had at the ready!. This was a very pleasant, informative and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a great day in Porto. Hopefully you too luck out and get to meet Gonzalo and Celso!. They were amazing!!. ????????

7. Coimbra from the Roman city to Unesco
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Coimbra is a complete city because it brings together the ancient of the modern, the youth of the opposite of culture, religion and sport, in Coimbra nothing or almost nothing is missing. Always lively and active because the almost 30 thousand students who live in it do not let the pace of those who tend to fall asleep in the shadows of the famous churches slow down. The gastronomy is excellent with several typical dishes and regional sweets where the Santa Clara pastries stand out, this city has a rich historical, architectural and cultural heritage at its disposal, they are a precious common collection of Humanity, now recognized by UNESCO, Coimbra is land as a student but more than that, it is a land of traditions where the past and the future intersect, which have more charm at the time of the farewell. Held in our company, on this tour in a comfortable and 100% flexible way.
Inclusions: Private guide and accompaniment to all monuments, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Pick up and drop off in the accommodation, Compulsory insurance, Clean and Safe Certificate

Diego was fantastic. We went into the tour blind and left with a deep appreciation for Portugal’s history, food, and unbelievable vistas. Diego was such a joy to spend the day with and was very patient with our questions (on pretty much everything!). He took us to an incredible seafood restaurant in nazaré, and was also accommodating to our dietary preferences (I am a pescatarian, but my mom does not like fish, which you can imagine poses a few challenges when traveling together). After lunch, we went to the top of the cliffs to see a breathtaking view of the sea and home of the gigantic “cannon wave”. Diego specializes in photography, which I believe gave us the advantage of seeing the most beautiful and picturesque sights. My mother absolutely loved the tour - perfect mix of walking and driving. Definitely recommend! Thank you for a great day!

My friend and I used ElectriCity Tours in June 2019. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The Tuk-Tuk is spacious, clean, pretty new, can easily accommodate 4-5 people, and eco-friendly. As for our guide…we got pretty lucky with Gilberto! He was such an amazing guide; he knows the city’s history inside out, is super friendly, customizes your tour based on your interest, and even extended our tour by a half hour at no extra cost. He made our experience truly memorable. If you’re looking for a Tuk-Tuk tour in Lisbon, Gilberto is your guy!
