Highly recommended! - We were greeted promptly on time and guided to the boat as soon as we arrived. With a welcome drink and snack, we departed and enjoyed a beautiful trip up the Douro River. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s coming to Porto for the first time. It was a great way to get to know the City layout. We took a lot of great photos!

Great way to see Porto. - My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and decided on this trip. There were only four of us plus crew. Fabulous trip. All the crew were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The trip was calm and serene taking in the views of Porto from the river. We would thoroughly recommend choosing this trip.
Thanks to all of the crew.

Great way to see Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia - This was a great way to see the city of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The staff were all great and super friendly. There was heavy fog the morning of our scheduled tour, so they worked with us to push it back later in the day when we'd be able to see more. Although it might have been nice if the boat was able to pass through under the bridge, I think we saw enough, and the length of the tour was good.

Quiet cruise - The ride starts on time. They are friendly and throughout the ride try to get you to know a little more about Porto through some anecdote or explanation about the most emblematic buildings observed from the boat.
They offer a refreshing drink and some nuts to enliven the ride.
However, this walk is not a substitute for the sightseeing or the six-bridge cruise. I would do the sightseeing first and this one would leave you in case you were left wanting a quiet walk at sunset.
