Relaxing tour on the Douro River - We had an incredible experience on our private boat tour of the Douro River! Cláudio was not only an excellent guide, but also very friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the city’s history and landmarks added so much to the journey, making it both relaxing and informative. It was a great way to see the city from the water. We even enjoyed a lovely port tonic, which was a great touch! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the city from a different perspective and learn more about the city. Thank you Douro Captain!

Really really lovely! - We originally booked a sunset tour for a Wednesday but unfortunately didn't make it on time. The guys were so good to book us in for the next day. I really do appreciate the kindness. We had an absolutely beautiful time. It was very relaxing, our tour guide was a great mix of education, serious, professional, silly, funny and a great photographer! Thanks Cláudio. We had a lovely Port tonic and a little extra port at the end. Some nibbles too. We felt like we got a really good history of Porto and Gaia. It's good to do this trip and then plan out visiting the cities on either side of the river after. Thanks guys. I will be back with my daughter for her 21st birthday 😊👌🏻

Tour 2h - We can only thank the entire Douro Captain team, in particular Claudio, Ricardo, Pedro and Karina, for the incredible experience they have provided us. We made the 2h tour to mark a special moment and the expectations were more than exceeded. The only “problem” was the trip had to end! :) I also want to thank Rui Cardoso for the excellent photographs he took so that we can remember these moments forever. I highly recommend!
