Beautiful sunset boat trip - Amazing sunset boat trip. Nadia and Paulo were attentive hosts. Boat was very comfortable, and we had welcome drinks and lovely snacks. Attention to detail was super! We booked for our wedding anniversary - a private trip, it was a very special evening. Beautiful scenery and sunset over the sea...would 100% recommend.

Douro - very peaceful and personal! - Nadya and her husband offered us a wonderful evening on your beautiful boat: 2.5 hours, first towards Porto and ending on the ocean with a view of the sunset. Nadya told us a lot, took care of the 3 of us warmly, the snacks were great and the blankets warm - a perfect evening!

Wonderful Experience! - The hosts were amazing and treated you like family. The grandma made wonderful jams to compliment the bread, cheese, and meat platter. The hosts allowed us to understand the history and pride that exists within each town in Porto. Finally the landscape was beautiful. We feel fortunate to have experienced the tour. We finished the tour with a picture of our hosts and my daughter Emma.

A must during your stay in Porto - Nadia and Paulo were amazing hosts ! My husband and I did the private sunset tour . There is multiple different companies that offer the river cruise tours . However Nadia and Paulo were so welcoming and personable . We received a welcome drink and a snack that was made my Nadia’s mom , so it felt like we were cruising with friends rather than a tour guide. Nadia also gave us a lot of recommendations for things to do in Porto from a locals perspective. You will not regret booking a tour with them ❤️

Experience the Douro River like a local ✨ - Alma Douro made me feel like part of their family from the moment I arrived to port for embarkation. The boat tour was booked for me directly by my concierge at 108MM house. The hospitality shown to me by Nadia, Paulo, and Maria made the tour exceptional and was truly special being that I was the only person on board. I immediately Alma Douro specializes exclusively in one group boat tours, this allowed Nadia to focus and tailor her tour to me. We toured the surrounding cities of the Douro River and its 6 bridges. Alma Douro was the only boat to go past the 6th bridge into a small quiet area where we stopped for a moment to enjoy the quietness around us. On our return to Porto I was surprised with a beautiful charcuterie board of locally made treats and a glass of port. This tour left me smiling from ear to ear the entire time. Thank you to the entire crew for making me feel at home and for the exceptional experience, one I will always remember.
