Great two hours on the Duoro - Lovely relaxing trip with a superb guide. Worth the short taxi out of town to have a profession and friendly trip.
Highly recommended

Charming family run river tour - You MUST do this boat ride
We were met at the marina by Antonio and his mom Christina who took us out on the Duoro river for a too brief 2 hour cruise under the six bridges of Porto. Antonio was charming informative and interesting. We had green (early) wine and almonds that were delicious. The wine was from their family site and delicious. This is a family run business and his father and mother come from mariners who once fished the river. This was a highlight of Porto. BTW Antonio is smart charming handsome and available.

Highlight of our Porto trip! - Absolutely fantastic boat trip for my friends and I. It was lovely to have the boat to ourselves, and Antonio was knowledgable, answering all our questions and providing historical and local facts. The green wine was fab as was the tawny port and spiced almonds.
Thankyou to Antonio and his sister, we would recommend this boat trip and would book again when we return to the area. This boat ride was the highlight of our Porto trip.
