Beautiful boat tour - What a fantastic morning, being out on the river whilst sampling some port and learning about the history. Really enjoyed being in a smaller group and felt it was definitely worth the money. My only suggestion is to put a sign to say where the tour goes from as everyone we saw weren’t sure they were in the right place and you definitely don’t want to miss it.

Relaxing tour for smaller groups - It was a very relaxing boat tour, perfect activity for a chill morning/afternoon, especially if you prefer smaller groups. We got to try several different port wines. Rather than a group tour guide, our guide would sit with us personally and chat about the port and history of it in Porto. This fit the vibe of the tour very well. Very worth it!

Sipping wines on the Duoro River in Porto. - Our two hosts were wonderful. They were able to explain the history behind the 6 bridges and also provide a lot of information on Porto and Gaia. It was a lovely afternoon sipping wine and snacking on nuts while motoring under the bridges. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience - The views were amazing, so was the weather. Both tour guides were excellent, describing the history of every bridge we passed. The wine was also pretty good. I recommend everyone to go on this river boat trip.

The boat and guide were... - The boat and guide were very nice and the wine was great. It was very hot and the shaded part on the boat is quite small, so plan accordingly. Otherwise, it was a good trip.
