The best boat ride - Without a doubt, the best boat ride I've ever made! Alberto and Vasco are an excellent team! In addition to the wonderful tour, the Alberto gives you to know the most historic and interesting places of Porto/Gaia! We were entitled to a tonic Porto, accompanied by fries, as well as Porto wine and chocolate! We stop to take pictures! It was really a nice walk, which I will repeat with certainty!

Amazing luxury boating experience - Alberto and his crew were amazing! We requested a charcuterie board and wine and what he provided went beyond our expectations. He was our tour guide as well, telling us about the bridges and history of all that we saw. He set up great photos and was a perfect host and captain!

A must in Porto <3 - Our family of 3 booked a sunset cruise for the first day of our trip to Porto. After a long day of traveling from the States, it was the perfect way to kick off our trip and put us in relax mode. From the moment we boarded, Alberto made us feel like his guests. His boat is well maintained, and had pillows and blankets at the ready to make us comfortable. He had drinks and snacks prepared for us, including my first Port & Tonic (and while I’ve tried to make it back home, it just tastes better on a boat!). We really enjoyed talking with him—he has a great knowledge of the area, bridges and history, and also gave recommendations of places to visit during our trip. We had our 10 year old son with us, and he was so great with him as well. There was also plenty of opportunities for photos and he took photos for us too. Doesn’t hurt that we also caught a breathtaking sunset. This truly was a sunset experience we’ll never forget. My only complaint is I wish I was still there in Porto. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing Evening on Opo Boat Tours - My husband and I just had the most lovely evening on a private sunset cruise on Opo Boat Tours. The boat is comfortable and beautiful and Alberto was an incredible host! He offered us a great charcuterie board with wine and port as well as blankets as needed. We were treated to a wonderful trip down the Douro River, a sunset and even some dolphins! I highly recommend this tour and Alberto for anyone looking to truly enjoy Porto!!

Unique experience... to try absolutely - Beautiful experience that I absolutely recommend. The boat is big enough, 8-10 people. Alberto is a very kind person who with the collaborator Camillo have really pampered us. In addition to giving us numerous and valuable information about Porto, Gaia and the many beauties, they gave us very useful advice on what to see, where to eat and drink well. They also really delighted us with excellent "port tonic", "green wine" and two varieties of "port", as well as cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit and dried fruit. Obviously this is extra and not included in what you book, but I recommend it. Great tour, great captains. Alberto thanks again for having also done us the courtesy to pick us up directly from the hotel by car given the consistent delay of the flight. Truly an extra luxury service... Thank you thank you thank you 👍
