Unfortunate experience, but made the best of it. - We actually did not experience this excursion due to delayed international flight and missing the flight to Porto. We communicated with the Tour Guide and requested to start the tour later. It was not possible due to sunset time, but he tried to accommodate us by rebooking the next day. Unfortunately, we did not have time during our short stay but he agreed to give us a 50% discount. We appreciate him and Viator Working with us even though it was an unfortunate situation. We hope to return one day and experience this highly rated river cruise.

Great tour! - I was a little dubious of the 5-star rating since there weren't many reviews but this was a great boat tour. My wife and I took the tour with another couple who we were travelling with. We opted for the morning tour and we were the only ones so it ended up being private. Some people will prefer a longer or shorter tour but 2 hours was just right for us. Also, the seating was comfortable. A lot of tours that we looked at didn't look promising in that respect, based on their photos. In addition, the port tasting was more than we expected. We thought it would just be a "welcome drink" but, if I remember correctly, Raul gave us four different ones. He had a lot to say about each one, more than the alleged sommelier in the tasting room that we had visited the day before. All in all, a very enjoyable tour and good value for money.

Perfect Sunset Cruise!! - We were so fortunate to find this sunset cruise at the last minute! Our host, Roald, Dores, was fantastic! His boat was beautiful, and he was such the perfect host. He also served us the most wonderful port drinks.

Sunset tour - We did the sunset tour with Rajul. First of all the boat was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Rajul shared some great facts about the city and the view from the boat was amazing. We also got to taste four different port wines during the tour! If you are visiting Porto, I would definitely recommend this experience.

Very comfortable boat trip and space with wonderful views - We loved the boat ride at the end of the day. The views were fantastic and the navigation very pleasant. The boat is very comfortable and spacious, and it is prepared even for the coldest days with a little warm mantins that was our case.

Treasured hghlight to end one month in Portugal - After many tours during one month travelling in Portugal, this was an absolute highlight. Raul and George were friendly, informative and welcoming on this informal evening spent on the Douro. The boat is impeccable - it's brand new and quite the beauty. We were very comfortable as we followed beneath the six bridges learning about the various bridges histories, neighbourhoods as well as info about Porto and Portugal generally. Raul was generous with sharing the info but not overbearing or annoying - quite a talent! We also sampled Port and Port & Tonic, which we learned about along the way. Our children had some juices. The weather this time of year is absolutely perfect. We took in all the sights whilst we chatted and then made the return trip to catch a spectacular sunset to finish the evening. There were some lovely soft blankets as we were a little chilly at the end. This would be the perfect ending to any trip to Porto (or indeed, Portugal) fabulous local hospitality, great views and sights and wonderful company. Thanks so much to Raul and George for an experience to remember. I recommend wearing trainers and packing a warm top for the end of the evening.
