Excellent bike tour! - Great way to see a lot of Porto (and Gaia!) in a short time (2.5-3 hours). Helmets are available if you would like to wear one. We were able to travel so far and it was so wonderful to bike by the ocean with the fresh air. He even took us to a small bakery that is a favourite of the locals. Would highly recommend
