Porto
Our guide was Tomas. He showed us around Porto and he was well versed in its history. We learned many things and was able to sightsee. He was very accommodating and even dropped us off at the famous market for lunch. Highly recommended tour mostly as an introduction of Porto

Great time, small group but big fun!
We chose this excursion because of the reviews. We wanted to be on the water for sunset and enjoy a small group experience rather than a large boat with many people. Filipe was our captain and he greeted us warmly and treated us as friends! The meeting point was easy and even though traffic held us up, he called via WhatsApp and gathered us without delay! We were able to use the facilities before the boat ride and as we came aboard we met Bruno who was an excellent skipper, navigating bigger boat waves and making the ride as smooth as possible! Filipe interacted with everyone, joked and told history of Porto. It was a fantastic evening!! Could the boat have been more luxurious? Sure, but for the time, and experience it was the best! We went very far down the river almost out of Porto, and went back and went very far to the oceans gate… you could smell the salt water! The timing was perfect. They asked days in advance to move the tour 1/2 hour prior for best sunset views due to time change and that was very thoughtful and worth it! Highly recommend! Tell Filipe NY sent you!

Perfect Porto afternoon
Maria and the captain were perfect hosts and the ride was lovely. The port was wonderful too - both white and red..
We had 6 of us so we booked the private tour which was same amount as 6 tickets on a group tour.
They played great music for us and we all had a really fun time!

Doura river experience
We had an excellent time on board
Extremely informative
The skipper & tour guide could not have been more helpful & accommodating
I am an old aged pensioner of 82 & my wife is nearly 80 from Ireland
We met a lovely lady from Nova Scotia & four lovely ladies from England on board
I was the only man in the group
Would recommend this company.

Amazing day in the Duoro Valley
It was an amazing day, and Julianne was great. She was knowledgeable and kept us on pace all day. The 1st port tasting and meal were phenomenal, and the boatride up the Duoro was beautiful. I can't imagine a better day. The 2nd winery was OK, but not as enjoyable as the 1st. A great value for all 4 of us in our small group!!!

Support this Family Owned Business
The yacht was beautiful, the service was amazing, and the views were spectacular. The wine flowed from start to finish and the cheese boards were fresh and plentiful. Our Captain and Skipper are local to Porto and shared their knowledge and passion for their community. They were engaged with all the Guests, with genuine smiles and energy the entire tour. Highly recommended.

Amazing
We had a fantastic time on the river cruise in Porto. The crew were welcoming, friendly and informative! They do an amazing charcuterie board along with lots of great Portuguese wines. A big shout out to John, he was lots of fun and didn’t hesitate to fill your glass!
It’s a great way to see the bridges and Porto from a different perspective! Highly recommend.

AMAZING! Absolutely would do again!!
Absolutely amazing experience!! The tour felt almost private and Sarah was so friendly and attentive! We had a great time and even got to drive the boat for a minute. Sarah offered to get pictures of us and we appreciated her explaining each wine as well as a bit of history about Porto and Gaia. Thank you so much to Sarah and the Captain, would definitely come back again the next time I’m in Porto!

Great port tour with amazing guide
This was a great overview of Porto’s port wine industry. We started at Fonseco and had a guided tour of the museum which explained how port is made, the region where the grapes are grown and the different types of port. Then was tasting. We also went to 2 other tasting rooms and had 9 different ports. I highly recommend the tour. Our guide, Rafaela, was especially good.

If you’re going to do it, do it at sunset!
You may think the price difference between the sunset slot and the regular slot is a bit big, but the sunset slot is absolutely worth it. We sat out on the front of the boat the whole time, looking at Porto, Gaia and all the bridges. Then for sunset, we were taken out into the ocean for an unrestricted view of the sun - it was brilliant.

Five stars across the...
Five stars across the board! Pablo and Cristina delivered an unforgettable tour on the Douro River. The hospitality was top-notch, the boat was great, and the touches like chilled vinho verde, a tasty charcuterie board, and finishing with Port wine made it feel special and authentic. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality river experience!

Great tour
Id recommend this tour as:
- amazing guide Ze and pro driver Ameriko: thank you for the fabulous experience. The history was explained to us on route so that once at the destination, we were free to walk around and experience it! Ze answered all our random questions & was super patient! Explained the history in an interesting way as well.
- they took us to a lovely little town. & gorgeous 360 viewpoint. This is better than doing tours with 2 wineries.
- to one of the oldest wineries with a fantastic history
- small group of -20
- nice boat ride
- ac bus with large windows
- charming lunch, with lively and friendly waiters.
So overall, no complaints!
