Do NOT do a group tour-you MUST do this! You won't regret it. - Raul was a great Host on our private sunset cruise. He is so personable and speaks fluent English. And he took a ton of photos of us on my iphone which was so nice to have versus 'selfies'. The boat was really comfortable and this was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. We saw a lot of group tour boats and they were packed with people, while we enjoyed the entire boat to ourselves, with our own 'tour guide' :-)

Nice afternoon cruise along the Douro - Wonderful two-hour cruise in the Douro with Captain Harold and his trusty colleague. His argonaut vessel is a nice way to enjoy the river and surrounding sights. He is a font of knowledge about the river, Porto and port vino, especially red and white by Real Campanha Velha! He takes great pics and videos with your camera too! Enjoy an outing with Capt Harold when in Porto!

A must in Porto - This was such a fun tour. We got to watch the sunset and see Porto from the water. It was truly beautiful and we got lucky with such great weather. Raul was wonderful and he took really good care of us. I highly recommend this tour.

See Porto from an even nicer spot! - This was my 2nd trip with Raul and like last year, again, it was really nice! Raul is an excellent host and we enjoyed the tour on his boat, his stories about the history of Porto but most of all: the tasting of his selection of very nice port wines! We also went up outside the river mouth and spent some time at the Atlantic enjoying the coast line and harbour of Porto. I can only recommend this with a small group but Raul now also bought a bigger ship, Dutch origin - called Lady Moon - this sloop can even carry 16 people, just fantastic for your tour with friends!
