December on the Douro! - Kicked off December with a boat along the Douro. A great way to see the wonderful cities of Porto and Gaia. We learnt about the six bridges connecting the cities, the history of many of the buildings along the river bank. Antonio shared stories of his family, his life in Portugal and we got to try some wonderful food, green wine and Port that he sources via his family and friends. Would highly recommend!

Good Vibe Boat Ride - We had a wonderful two-hour boat ride on the Douro River, enjoying serene waters and breathtaking views of Porto and its iconic bridges. The captain and son were so charming made the hole trip plisnthere wine exellent. The gentle breeze, warm sunlight, and the occasional passing boat made it feel like a perfect day tril. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto!

River Rendezvous - Antonio and Patricia were warm and congenial hosts, professional and engaging, providing a rich history of each of the 6 bridges as we motored to the ocean and back enjoying sumptuous regional treats and personal stories of Porto as well as recommendations for our stay. Highly recommend this tour!

Great afternoon adventure! - Paulo greeted us at the marina and treated us to a wonderful 2 hour trip to the ocean and back. His wife was our first mate. We were provided with local wine and charcuterie, the sights were great, and the conversation with Paulo and his wife was wonderful. This was far superior an experience than being one of 50+ people on a huge boat. Paulo and his wife were great hosts who ensured we had a memorable trip, and Paulo even set us up with a friend for a wonderful local dinner with the freshest of seafood offered by the region.

Must do! - This is so next level, if you’re wanting to see Porto in its entirety. It’s a wonderful experience with lovely guides, history, beauty, wine and snacks. On the water gives a whole new perspective. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you Paolo and Christina! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Just bloody brilliant - What can I say, absolutely bloody brilliant. We arrived at the Marina in the drizzly rain and Paulo greeted us with a genuine smile. Instantly offered to allow us to cancel due to weather. We are beyond delighted we didn’t. What a fabulous experience. After introducing us to his son Antonio we set off on the lovely boat with Paulo at the helm. Antonio chatted about the river, Portugal, Porto, language and had us at ease and laughing. The whole tour was a delight and then Paulo disappeared below decks and reappear with Green Wine and charcuterie including mama’s home made pumpkin jam. The absolute pride displayed by our hosts in the fare and all that Porto has to offer was genuinely humbling and moving. We would have enjoyed ourself just as much of the boat had not moved an inch. We are genuinely grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with two truly nice men proud of their country and lifestyle. Thank you Paulo and Antonio. PS we took Antonio’s advice and tried the Pastel de neta (custard tarts) from Castro’s, amazing!!!
