    Hugo the boss!
    Had an absolutely incredible day in the city of Porto with our equally amazing tour guide Hugo. Very knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. He helped us navigate the city with ease and took us to a wonderful local lunch spot before the absolutely stunning wine tasting. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Hugo.

    A WONDERFUL TOUR WITH FIRST CLASS SERVICE ALL THE WAY.
    The tour was amazing - so informative and professional, yet in a relaxed and friendly way. We visited interesting and beautiful places, it has given us memories which we will never forget. We are very grateful our wonderful guide, Hugo, who gave us the best tour experience possible. Everything was first class. Hugo went above and beyond expectations when he delivered my son-in-laws sunglasses (left in the back of his car) back to our hotel the following night, we are very appreciative of his kind gesture. Do not hesitate to book a tour with this company, they provide 'high end' service and they will meet your expectations without question.

    Excellent tour of the Algarve region
    Three day / 2 night private tour of the Algarve region with our tour guide/driver Philipp Ruoff was something we will cherish forever.From hotel pick up to drop off - everything was handled with utmost care .Philipp’s knowledge of the region and touring the main areas including some of the hidden gems that are off the beaten path made this a truly remarkable experience.We would highly recommend this company.

    Unforgettable experience and amazing guide
    This tour was impeccable from the moment we got picked up! Philippe was an amazing guide and also became a friend by the end of the trip - he knew his way around the city and showed up promptly in his super comfortable van. We loved how much he shared along the drive and even once we got to the city we got to hang out and customize the trip based on what we wanted to see. Lunch was amazing and the food was great, super large portion sizes and we could order whatever we wanted and got a lot of wine! The wine tasting for us was at the very end and it was just a great way to end the whole thing. The whole day was very full of activity and having Philippe there made it way more fun and planned than what we would have done on our own.

    Highly Recommend! Fantastic private tours catered to our needs, for multiple locations in Portugal
    We actually did three days of private tours with Knight Riders Tourism: one day private tour of Lisbon, one day in Oporto, and one day in Sintra and Caiscais. I was traveling with my two elderly parents (over 80) and wanted private tours so that we could travel comfortably and adjust to my parent's energy levels, and get us as close to all the sights as possible. Our guide was Hugo, and not only was he great in explaining all the history and significant sights that we saw, he was also a great driver and drove us as close to the many sights as possible, as well as facilitating our getting ahead in the queues to avoid my father having to wait in long lines. It was an amazing experience, and we were able to see much more and more comfortably than had we done it with a larger group or by ourselves. Well worth it!! Thank you Knight Riders Tourism and thank you Hugo!!

    The warmth of the Portuguese people, food, & culture!
    I would like to send a special thank you “Obrigada” to my very knowledgeable travel/tour guide Mr. Hugo (see in photos below)! His knowledge of the history and cultures of Portugal was above reproach. He’s a highly skilled motorist and was adept in moving throughout the Portuguese countryside all the while speaking with me and sharing his experiences, knowledge of history and background during the tour. Trabalho bem feito…job well done!! ~Mike Thompson

    Excellent value, exceptional service, and great fun!
    In order to complete this review, I had to select just one activity—in this case, Porto. But in fact, four friends and I hired Knight Riders to give us a six-day private tour throughout many sites and small towns of Portugal. This was our first travel experience with Knight Riders, and we would definitely use their services again. Our drivers/guides were Hugo and Philipp, since we split into two groups for part of the time. Both were knowledgeable and personable, gentle spirits who quickly became fun traveling partners. In fact, Philipp spent all six days with us and we felt as though we made a new friend by the end of the trip. We visited Sintra, Coimbra, Mafra, Porto, the Douro River, and many other small towns in between. All arrangements were efficiently scheduled in advance, making good use of our time. All-in-all, our trip was easy and fun — we covered 1400 kilometers with curb-to-curb service, assistance with our luggage, and several spontaneous pastry stops in between visits to planned locations! We also enjoyed several exceptional preplanned lunches at local restaurants specializing in traditional Portuguese food — including some of the best seafood I have ever eaten. My friends and I are in agreement — we would definitely use this company again, and would in fact ask for the same drivers/guides. Five stars all the way!

    Extraordinary and a Jewel of Tour guides
    We took the the Tour in September 2022 and it has been beyond our Imagination. Our Tour Guide Artur Garcia showed us around, told about all the great background of the local History, culture and circumstances. He has been an extraordinary Host, holds so much knowlwdge, an Excellenz Driver, fitted the Tour to our Interests and prepared all the little Details. He was always two steps ahead. It has been an a pleasure , no words for it. Folks, book that, you will never ever regret it. We plan to do that again.

If you aren't staying over in Porto but still would love to see it on your trip to Portugal you should highly consider taking this one day trip. Our driver/tour guide, Susanna was absolutely amazing. We learned a lot about the culture and the cities and what it is like living in Portugal. She was obviously proud of her heritage and her country and we enjoyed the drive of about 3 hours to Porto. It is a lovely city and she helped us navigate a boat trip on the Douro, the tasting at the cellars, we strolled and ate roasted chestnuts along the waterfront, we went to the Cathedral, she gave us recommendations for lunch, we visited the Lello bookstore and the train station with the beautiful tile work. She asked questions of what our interests were and it was like visiting with a friend. It was relaxed and a day that will stand out in a wonderful trip. Knight Riders tours has a great guide in Susanna and those that have her as their guide to the city will be very lucky indeed! I would reiterate, if you can't stay the night, consider the day trip....it is a long day but worth every moment.

The rain didn't stop us from having a great trip to Porto in December. We got picked up by Daniel bright and early at our hotel and drove up to Porto. On the way we passed by vineyards which were off season. Probably beautiful in the spring. Porto was a beautiful city and our guide was helpful and informative. Lovely sites of the city, churches and views of the city from the tower (lots of steps so beware!). Our lunch was not as Daniel had planned but was at a small restaurant serving the locals (our preferred way to go!).
We finished our tour at the Calem Port company for an hour tour and explanation of the making of Port wine (did you know that it is made outside of Porto!). Sadly because it was raining and also in December, we didn't get a chance to do much more before we headed back home.
Great day trip!

Our driver was just that, a driver. He knew nothing and admitted to us he knew nothing and that he wasn't a good guide, but a good driver. He did take us to a port winery and that was nice. He then drove us out of town for lunch and the place was definitely authentic and good. We then drove back to town and had about an hour to walk around then headed back to Lison. Definitely not worth it. He knew nothing about Porto. He told us 3 times it was built on a hill so there are a lot of steps there. I could have told you that. Oh well. It would have been better had we trained up and stayed on our own and gone out the the Duoro Valley on our own.

The driver and our guide Daniel was great, he got us to Porto and back fast. He also has good insight on the cities and history and took us to a great place for lunch.
Only reason I am giving 3 stars is we weren't convinced if we got our money worth, Porto is good (not great or excellent)but not worth spending as much money
