A relaxing way to enjoy your visit to Porto - The cruise was a very enjoyable time on a day that was overcast and cold. My wife and I, plus a nice American couple from Texas who we met on board, and the Captain & his mate. We motored along the Douro, while discussing the history of the area, what we were seeing on both sides of the river, and then motored out beyond the break wall where we viewed a pod of dolphins. It was overall a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon outing. We tasted a few Port wines sampling to understand more about the local varieties, learned more about the local history, and got some great tips on where to spend our remaning time in the area.

Magistral Experience - Winter meteorology is a factor that comes as soon as you enter this experience. We were received with the most affectionate sympathy and everything was fulfilled as stipulated. By the way, we were still surprised by things we didn’t even expect, like a toast and final tasting and the luck to have seen dolphins at sunset. Use money for life-worthy things: this is a good example of where to dispens it.

Great experience, not to miss! - We had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend Duoro Captain. The cruise felt intimate and special, and it wasn’t that much more expensive than the standard six bridges tour. We did ours at sunset and we got to have drinks, made some new friends and the captain could not have been any nicer. In fact, we were running a few minutes late and we communicated through WhatsApp he met us at the dock and we were on our way. Im so very grateful for amazing customer service!

Relaxing tour on the Douro River - We had an incredible experience on our private boat tour of the Douro River! Cláudio was not only an excellent guide, but also very friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the city’s history and landmarks added so much to the journey, making it both relaxing and informative. It was a great way to see the city from the water. We even enjoyed a lovely port tonic, which was a great touch! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the city from a different perspective and learn more about the city. Thank you Douro Captain!

Really really lovely! - We originally booked a sunset tour for a Wednesday but unfortunately didn't make it on time. The guys were so good to book us in for the next day. I really do appreciate the kindness. We had an absolutely beautiful time. It was very relaxing, our tour guide was a great mix of education, serious, professional, silly, funny and a great photographer! Thanks Cláudio. We had a lovely Port tonic and a little extra port at the end. Some nibbles too. We felt like we got a really good history of Porto and Gaia. It's good to do this trip and then plan out visiting the cities on either side of the river after. Thanks guys. I will be back with my daughter for her 21st birthday 😊👌🏻
