A great way to see the city of Porto. Two lines one on the Porto side (Red Line), the other to the South on the opposite side of the river (Blue Line). We rode those lines from start to finish to get a sense of what we would like to see. Then went back and did the hop-on hop off. The buses were clean and on time. Maps on the bus showed you the roots. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Using the hop on/off bus allowed us to see parts of Porto that we would never have if we tried to use public transport. That was awesome!

Was disappointed that there was no detailed commentary or history. Usually there is much more local color and storytelling on these sightseeing tours in other cities. Also the comments were not synced with the location.

The tour was very dissapointing. The excessieve traffic and many construction sites didn't help, but besides that the blue tour is a joke. Nothing special in that tour. The red tour brings you to the Atlantic Ocean and provides a chance to walk the path along seaside. That was the best part.

The ride on the red line is very nice. They explain the iconic places and tell you the stop. The blue line is not worth doing. There is almost no explanation and they don't tell you the stops. They could tell you about the history of Portugal if there is nothing else to talk about, but they played fado music, nice, but I wanted to know about Porto and its history. Sometimes the bus would wait for about 20 minutes at the stops and you would sit down and get off to take pictures. They don't tell you anything. That wastes time.

The experience is good because it fulfills its function, to show you the city. The blue line is agile but not fast. The red line, too much music and little explanation. We were not helped by the traffic jam and the horrible cold despite the fact that we were in the indoor area. A little bit of heating would have been appreciated. I understand that it is a tourist bus but I don't understand the need to go extremely slow in areas of the city that have little appeal. Despite this, I found it a good way to tour the city.

Aug 2025Verified booking
The routes in general cover the whole city very well and you can plan visits to museums, meals or shopping at different times. Depending on the plan it may have been enough with the one day voucher. The first part of the night tour I did not like because it was repeating the orange route that has a lot of slopes in industrial areas without much interest. When it gets into the blue zone it gets better. I would reconfigure that part to be optimal knowing that it is at night. There were also people who had to stand up because they didn't have more buses. That needs to be improved because everyone has paid to go sitting down and that night tour lasted more than an hour. Finally I would improve the app a bit because they tell you one, but then to see real time buses you have to go to another, the maps of the bus and the app do not match. For the price it costs that would have to be perfect and very clear. Otherwise highly recommended for the slopes that has oporto.

The bus, route and above all the friendliness of the staff were very good. However, the explanations on the automatic tape during the city tour were dry as dust and lacked any context. Interesting topics with an overall view, such as the economic, social and cultural role of Porto in the Portuguese / European context, were missing.

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.

Good way to see the sights if ur only in Porto for a few days. We hopped on near Clerigos Tower & the bus was like, half full. Got to the port wine tasting (which was included, nice!) by late afternoon. Staff were super chill, but the walking tour felt a bit rushed. Still, def worth it for the views from the top deck.

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.

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.

The information on the audio tour was before the place to be shown. The meeting point for the cruise does not exist. The telephone operator indicated in the e-mail spoke no Portuguese and bad English. The pick-up point for the cruise tickets was changed and I received no e-mail informing me of this. I wasted more than 40 minutes trying to sort it out.

Took my parents (in their 60s) and they really enjoyed it. Easy for them to get on/off, not too much walking. Wine tasting was a bit of a squeeze but worth it.

Online booking and pick-up in the store went without any problems and the bus ride as usual 🙂 German descriptions over the headphones in the bus was OK!

The excursion was well arranged. Tickets via qr code directly obtainable via email and to be handed in when boarding the hop on hop off bus in Porto. However, the boat tour was very massive and no place to sit on board. HEADOUT had everything else offered well and nice price for deal.

Using the hop on/off bus allowed us to see parts of Porto that we would never have if we tried to use public transport. That was awesome!
