A Superb 2-Hour Tour on The Douro - The experience was super fun and a great way to see Porto from the river side with lovely hosts Pedro and Sylvie while learning about local history and culture. Thanks again!

Awesome, loved every minute of it. Private, quiet and thorough. - I had a wonderful time on this tour. The guides were wonderful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. I so enjoyed it being just us on the boat, with our freshly made Port tonics as we sailed up and down the river looking at the sites and learning about the history of the area. It’s a bit more money than others, but was worth every penny not to be crowded on a boat with a 100 people. Highly recommend Pedro y Pedro team on this tour.

Best private tour of 6 bridges - Pedro and his wife toured our extended family of 5 on a private tour through the 6 bridges on a beautiful sunny day. It was relaxing and educational. We were able to see the many sights of Porto and Gaia, and learn about the Portuguese culture and customs. Pedro and his wife are a delightful, friendly and personable couple that absolutely made the trip one to remember. I will recommend to others. They are the best guides you could ask for!

Excellent - We were lucky enough to be two people on the tour. The atmosphere was excellent. Piedro explained everything wonderfully and answered every question we had. And because I was given blankets straight away, I didn't notice the morning cold much, despite the sunshine.
We can recommend the tour without reservation.

2 hour private Douro river cruise - Highest recommendation for a relaxing 2 hr private cruise in the Douro. Pedro shared history to enrich the tour, as well as personal stories as he grew up in the neighborhood on the river. Includes water, wine and a generous charcuterie plate. Pedro and his wife were lovely hosts for this perfect tour on a Sunday morning. Happy to support this small family business!
