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.

Book this tour NOW! Don’t wait!! - Nov 2, 2024 - This tour is great 11 out of 10 stars! And even more awesome are Nadia and Paulo, our guide and captain. We booked an earlier day tour of the 6 bridges with a port taste and snacks. As it turns out, Nadia asked to move us to the 3:30pm slot due to mechanical issues with the boat. We assumed we’d be with a group as originally booked but Nadia gave us a private tour. The big pillows in the front allowed us to have front row seats to every bridge we passed. And when it got chilly, Nadia brought out warm blankets and put them around our shoulders- what a great tough! My son was over joyed… with the tour, the port wine tasting, the snacks… and it doesn’t stop there… Nadia spent time explaining the importance of the Douro River, history of Porto and Portuguese culture. She then brought us a beautiful charcuterie tray loaded with wonderful goodies, including homemade jam and a fruit kind of bar that her mother made from a local fruit. Delicious! And, she poured a couple glasses of wine for me and my son… who ended up liking the port wine and now white wine! Nadia also extended our 2hr afternoon cruise to a 2 1/2 hr sunset cruise. Paulo took us out to the ocean to watch the sun set… how beautiful! And very good driver he was! I feel SO very fortunate to have had this tour with Nadia and Paulo. She is a beautiful soul who wants everyone on her boat to have a good time. I can’t recommend it enough!
