Great booking, so glad we did it! - Our guide, Claudie, was fantastic. The type of person you feel is or could be a good friend. She and the boat Captain are life long residents of Porto and of course very knowledgeable. The intimacy or this boat is fantastic, with only four or five couples, we all got to know each other a bit.

5 stars!!! - Amazing tour!! Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, kind and fun. My entire group had a blast and they made for a super pleasant experience. I’d recommend this tour for anyone visiting Porto. Our group was there for just the day and this was by far the highlight. 5 stars!!

Great ride! - Beautiful walk on the Douro, accompanied by a tasting of three glasses of port wines! Very family atmosphere in small group. Very comfortable boat and equipped in case of capricious weather. We were very well received, and our 11 month old son and was wonderfully well received!

Picturesque Douro River Boat Ride - Luca and Paulina were amazing tour hosts! Such a beautiful, relaxing, picturesque tour along the Douro River with delicious wine, port, and snacks. We enjoyed the small, intimate boat with only 10 people on board. Luca explained all of the sights along the way. I would highly recommend this tour!
