Porto Sidecar Tours is a small tour operator based in Porto, Portugal, offering curated sidecar motorcycle experiences through the city's neighborhoods and viewpoints. Using classic motorcycle sidecars, Porto Sidecar Tours provides a range of private and group excursions that showcase both well-known landmarks and off-the-beaten-path sights. Trips include short three-hour morning and afternoon tours, four-hour wine and shore excursions, a six-hour all-day tour with a traditional lunch, street art-focused routes, a food-focused Petiscada experience, and sunset and family-friendly options. Each itinerary emphasizes local perspectives: guided commentary at historic viewpoints, leisurely photo stops, selected local cafés, and curated tastings of Portuguese wines including Port and Espumante. Porto Sidecar Tours works with local guides who lead tours across Porto and Gaia, visit viewpoints along the Douro River, and stop at historic cellars and fishermen's villages when included in the itinerary. Reservations typically specify duration and highlights for clear expectations; timelines vary by trip from three to six hours.
