A great addition to our trip - We had a lovely time! As we stepped into the boat, the rain began to stop, and we appreciated that we could sit inside (for the final raindrops) and outside for most of the trip. It was an excellent way to see and learn more about Porto. We also learned quite a bit about the six bridges we otherwise would not have discovered.

Special and memorable trip!! - To celebrate my birthday, I decided to take a boat trip along the river Douro with my friends and it was simply amazing! From the first moment, the crew was super welcoming and very attentive so that nothing was missing. The beauty of the landscapes of Porto and Gaia, combined with sympathy and professionalism, made the difference by creating a pleasant environment for us to relax and enjoy every moment of the trip. It was an unforgettable and perfect experience to celebrate with my friends. I highly recommend!

Great tour, just the right length. - Our guide was from Porto and shared so much information only someone very familiar with the city could do. It was relaxing with a nice glass of wine or port and we learned a lot.

Anselmo the great! - Anselmo and his crew were cordial, happy and very informative. The ride was pleasant and the boat was well equipped and afforded a smooth ride. They pointed out every bridge, the significance of the structure and the history of the Douro. They were able to accommodate three languages and were so pleasant. We never felt like tourists. At the end of the trip we were directed to local eateries and shops. It was quite the relaxing tour. Highly recommend this if you are in Porto
