Best private tour of 6 bridges - Pedro and his wife toured our extended family of 5 on a private tour through the 6 bridges on a beautiful sunny day. It was relaxing and educational. We were able to see the many sights of Porto and Gaia, and learn about the Portuguese culture and customs. Pedro and his wife are a delightful, friendly and personable couple that absolutely made the trip one to remember. I will recommend to others. They are the best guides you could ask for!

Porto Boat Ride - The service was incredible, our captain and crew Miguel and Liliana were fabulous hosts and very accommodating. We loved the views and were able to take some fantastic photos of Porto from the river.

2 hour private Douro river cruise - Highest recommendation for a relaxing 2 hr private cruise in the Douro. Pedro shared history to enrich the tour, as well as personal stories as he grew up in the neighborhood on the river. Includes water, wine and a generous charcuterie plate. Pedro and his wife were lovely hosts for this perfect tour on a Sunday morning. Happy to support this small family business!

Excellent personal boat trip - way better than a big group trip! Highly recommend - Excellent trip, such lovely guides / hosts. Even though the weather wasn’t great they still kindly took me out and adapted the trip (I was only in Porto for 48hrs). I have done lots of tours and the friendly nature of this one was second to none. They we kind enough to give me more than one complimentary drink, as well as some nibbles. Highly recommend this company - they are a new business and they thoroughly deserve to do well!

Wonderful morning on the river - What a wonderful morning on the river. There was a mixup in the booking but rather than cancel us with apologies (which is what happened on the prior tour we had tried to book), Pedro met us at the dock and explained what had happened and that he had arranged for Eduardo and Inez to take us out on the river (on a fancier boat no less). It was clear Pedro was very focused on customer service. Inez and Eduardo were delightful and we had a wonderful morning. We learned things about the area as well as Portuguese culture plus had a little wine and some snacks. This was a great way to spend 2 hours in Porto. Highly recommend!
