Fantastic tour - Our hosts were just the best. They both had a lot of information to share about the river and the city. We felt welcomed in every way. The port was delicious and the sunset amazing. They even allowed me to stay for five minutes afterward to charge my phone so I could get back to my hotel. Such nice guys. Great recommendations to restaurants and they made us feel at home. Unfortunately, I don’t remember their names, but two handsome older gentlemen who really know their stuff. I’d highly recommend them!

Perfect way to start our Porto visit - We took Anselmo’s sunset boat trip our first day in Porto after arriving on a redeye from the US and its was the perfect way to start our visit. We shared the boat with just one other family, so it had a very private and intimate feel. Anselmo and his colleague made us feel right at home with blankets, pillows, and glasses of port wine (and nonalcoholic beverages for our teens). He was a highly knowledgeable and personable guide as we cruised up the river through the center of historic Porto and then back out into the Atlantic before heading back to the marina. Tons of recommendations for what to see, where to eat, and what to avoid.
So much better than the cattle-call boat tours that we usually go on, and worth every penny. Would definitely recommend and do it again!

Very Nice Tour - Great tour. Nice boat and excellent guides. You get a different view of the city from the water and this is well worth doing.

Wonderful river cruise - We booked this cruise when spending a few days in Porto. It was a wonderful cruise under 6 bridges on a beautiful boat. Our captain was very attentive and give us a lot of interesting information about the city. Overall a beautiful experience.

Excellent trip in October - Had an excellent boat trip on the 18th of October 2024. The trip was originally booked for the 17th but Anselmo had been closely monitoring the weather and suggested we moved it to the following day to enjoy the experience more which we had done. It was a great, personal boat trip with only 6 others onboard. Both of the tour guides, Anselmo and another (I forget his name LOL), were very friendly making sure to speak to everyone in the group and also told us the history of all the bridges and buildings that we sailed by. The boat was beautiful and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this to anybody and think that it was great value for money.

Super recommended ride - Very pleasant walk, attention by Samuel and Anselmo perfect, pending at all times any detail.
The perfect prior communication, even recommended where to eat before the walk and was quite a success.
The walk runs along all the bridges to return and go out to the high seas where you can enjoy the sunset, and return quietly while watching the city light up.
Definitely all great and highly recommended!!

A satisfying trip to Porto - Surprise trip, very satisfied. We saw the most beautiful sunset in Porto. We stayed at the owner's bed and breakfast, the boathouse, again a unique experience, and the boathouse had a satisfying price. Everything in Porto is very satisfying for us and we will be back again!
The port wine and the local restaurant recommended by the boat owner were also great! It's cheap and delicious.
