Tuk tuk tours

Hello. We are considering a tuk tuk tour in Porto as we have trouble walking.
Are they safe? Are the drivers good guides for attractions and monuments? Thank you-

We took one and it was a great intro to the city. Others in our group also enjoyed the tours. We considered doing the hop on hop off bus tour but glad we did tuk tuk because it goes down places the bus doesn’t fit.

Our tour was an hour which was good as the cobblestone streets are very bumpy and a longer tour might be uncomfortable

I visited Porto recently and decided to try a Tuk Tuk tour — and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how much it added to my experience of the city. We went with a local company called Blue Dragon Tours, and the guide was both knowledgeable and super friendly (and yes, the tuk tuk was electric and quiet!).

We explored some areas that would’ve been tiring on foot, especially the uphill parts near the cathedral and Clérigos Tower, and got some great local insights. It was a great way to start our trip and get oriented — later, we returned on foot to some of the spots we discovered during the ride.

If you're interested, here’s the link to the tour we did: https://bluedragon.pt/porto-tuk-tuk-tours/

Hope this helps anyone considering a tuk tuk tour in Porto!
