Great way to spend a leisurely morning
Tomas does a terrific job! He's funny, bright and very knowledgeable about the local history and the wines.
He's from a seafaring family and we waved to his dad & uncle who captain a weeklong river cruise ship as they were departing.
This was a fun morning for the 4 of us and we would do it again without hesitation.

Yacht Cruise
Miguel made our yacht experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome with exceptional hospitality, delicious wine, port, and a beautifully prepared charcuterie board. His knowledge of Porto, warm personality, and genuine conversations made the cruise feel personal and special. He even recommended one of the best seafood restaurants for dinner! If you’re looking for a first-class experience on the Douro River, Miguel is the perfect host. Highly recommend!

Rita the guide was...
Rita the guide was fantastic and so knowledgable and funny. Lucas the driver was very careful around the twisty roads. The information provided about Portugal and the port wine making process was very informative. Highly rate this tour. The number of samples and the food was also fantastic.

Book It! You Won't Be Disappointed!
Absolutely perfect way to spend an evening! This was just enough time on the river to see some sights before turning and heading towards the Atlantic in time for the most amazing sunset! The boat was lovely, and the captain and Nancy were both so kind, helpful, and informative! I would book this again in a heartbeat- and will definitely do so on a return trip to Porto.

Awesome sunset cruise!!
Amazing time! You go under all the bridges, see all the unique neighborhoods on the river, and are told about the history behind them. Sunset was beautiful and thankfully the waves were pretty calm so a very relaxing sail!!! On top of that, top-tier staff!! I booked this last minute as a solo traveler and I met wonderful people who were also on the tour. 10/10!!!

Lovely sail along the river - highly recommend!!
This sail boat is gorgeous, stable and so comfortable with couch seating and bean bags on the front! Our local captains Carlotta & Miguel were excellent story tellers and offered professional customer service! We loved our journey up and down the river enjoying the breeze and sights. Obrigada!!

Great ride and fantastic boat
The 2 hour tour was great! Antonio was a great host explaining just enough about we were seeing during the cruise and provided as ample time to enjoy the cruise with the Bluetooth speaker and our wine/snacks. We booked the 33ft boat but ended up getting upgraded to a larger vessel as the smaller boat was double booked. Having the larger boat was great, but the 33 ft one looked amazing as well. We didn’t have the best weather on the day we went out, but regardless of weather, it’s a unique way to see the city and bridges and would recommend to anyone. Also, there was a very nice bathroom on the boat.

Great Douro Valley tour with a fun guide and driver!
We traveled to the Douro Valley with our driver Ana Sousa, who got us there and back safely through the narrow roads, and our guide Pedro Costa, who amused us (and himself) with loads of anecdotes about the phallic-shaped Bolos de São Gonçalo pastries from Amarante! You will understand once you see them. 10 hour tour in an air conditioned large van with nice sights, wine tasting and lunch. Would recommend to anyone.

Sunset cruise on luxury yacht - 10/10 experience
Amazing yacht experience! We were upgraded to the luxury yacht and had a fantastic experience on the sunset cruise. Vasco was a super friendly and professional host and was extremely welcoming. Amazing port tonics :) Vasco was also great at taking photos and made this a very special memory. Captain Camilo was also brilliant and made sure to keep my mother warm with two blankets.

A great way to see the 6 bridges of Porto
What a fabulous way to see the 6 bridges by sailing down the Douro river on a private yacht with a glass of wine in hand!
The staff were great, very tentative & always made sure our glasses were topped up!
Saw some amazing views of both Porto & Gaia, the port caves & a view of the Atlantic Ocean!
Would definitely recommend this trip.

The highlight of our trip to Porto!
Our boat ride during sunset was the highlight of our trip to Porto! The boat was in a pristine condition, we were offered port wine and traditional Portugese food during our time there which was very tasty and fulfilling. We were able to put our own music on the speaker which made the experience even more magical and unforgettable.
The crew, Antonio and Luis, was amazing. They were polite, positive and very social, even suggesting us different places and restaurants to visit in Porto. They became a part of our dancing and we had some very quality conversations with each other.
I would recommend this boat trip to anyone visiting Porto.

Great experience
Excellent tour with short walks to several producers/ tasting rooms.
Our local guide João was brilliant from start to finish! He was very knowledgable and clearly passionate about the subject. He created a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for our group and we all had a great time!
Highly recommend!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Porto is built up from the Douro River, which historically provided the city’s wealth through its port and today serves as a gateway to wine regions, ancient ruins, and the Atlantic Ocean. Choose your adventure with Porto cruises: perhaps a full-day tour up the river to a vineyard, a small-group cruise and lunch, or a luxury tour of Porto’s six bridges from the water. Whether you choose a larger group tour or a private boat with a dedicated captain, you can’t go wrong in one of the continent’s most scenic cities.
