Very pleasant Douro trip. - Very pleasant 1hr trip on ecofriendly boat. Captain and tour guide friendly and informative. Tasting of 2 local wines plus almonds from the area. Recommend this trip as very relaxing and less crowded than bigger boats as only 8 of us. Error over change of departure time due to Viator not updating their booking information and sending incorrect time right up to embarkation.

Lovely Solar Boat ride - Experiencing the beauty of the Douro River Valley in a solar boat...no noise and no smell. The guides explained the different wines well and we enjoyed both that we tasted.

Wonderful little boat tour! - This was such a fun little adventure. We were driving through the Douro Valley and wanted to do a quick boat tour to see the gorgeous hills from a different perspective. This 1 hr tour checked all the boxes: small (just 8 of us); quiet (yay solar power!); peaceful (pleasant conversation but they didn’t screech over a speaker or yell the whole time); friendly (great hosts); and delicious wine (we each had a glass of Douro red wine and fortified wine). Highly recommend!

Douro River is beautiful and hosts engaging - Aside from the spectacular views, the tour offered 2 small glasses of wine and some history of the area. The hosts were engaging and willing to answer all questions. The group I was in would have preferred more stories on the sites we were seeing as we chugged down the river. Because it was raining, we were unable to get a clear view from the front of the boat as the plastic protectors had to stay on. However, the views from either side of the boat gave us the pictures we wanted. I would say that it is a must but would be much better in the sunshine (but hosts cannot control the weather conditions).

Nice way to spend an hour on the Douro river - Delightful trip, lovely crew. It was hard to get photos because we had to have the rain covers on the boat due to bad weather. Wines were yummy, and the crew was helpful in providing suggestions for where to experience more wines from the region. It would be good to add a bit more commentary to the experience, although we enjoyed having discussions with the other fellow tour participants.

Very pleasant and worthwhile. - This was a very good way to see the Duro Valley, and we enjoyed the silence of the electric motor. The couple that ran, the boat were very pleasant and informative yet not to talk giving us time to enjoy ourselves and the view. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was the difficulty in finding the location of the boat. It should be more clear that you need to walk around behind the other tour boats to the bridge. This should be made more clear.. We were lucky that the boat came in a few minutes late because it took a while to find our location. But once we were as described, this is well worth it.
