The tour and especially the boat trip were well worth it. It was just a shame that the bus simply stopped somewhere because the driver was on a break, but there was no replacement for the time being. Not so great when the return flight is getting closer and closer and the ... is pressing.

Took the hop-on hop-off bus with my mom and honestly, it's the EASIEST way to get around Porto without getting lost. We sat up top, caught some sun, and the audio guide actually made us laugh a couple times (love those random facts about the bridges!). Port tasting at the end = chef's kiss. FYI, the buses get pretty packed around midday so I'd start early if you can.

Went with my boyfriend, both of us first time in Portugal. The bus route covers pretty much all the major stuff you wanna see. We loved the river views, and the port wine tasting was such a cool add-on. Only downside is sometimes you gotta wait for the next bus, especially if you just missed one. Otherwise, solid way to explore.

    The commentary during the bus ride was minimalist, with a great deal of lag, and not enough for a city as full of history as PORTO. The guided tours were in English and Spanish. Nowhere was this mentioned. So we abandoned the walking tours. If we said modest, maybe we weren't demanding enough.

    Buses are nice and you do get an overall view of the city. However there is so much congestion you do not easily go from the red line to the blue line. Also it was not clear exactly where to catch the bus. Other cities you truly get the experience of hop on hop off.
