Boat ride was exceptional, comfortable boat, cold bubbly, lovely music with the most spectacular views. Although our hosts English was limited, it made the trip more joyous as we had to try that little bit harder to communicate - and he made every effort to make sure we knew everything

The trip is in beautiful wine growing country first the boat trip with plenty of sparkling wine flowing. There was supposed to be a choice of either wine or port, my husband would have preferred the port as he doesn’t like sparkling wine, unfortunately I had to drink his! 🫢 The guide was very good and knowledgeable. Train journey back just as picturesque. Lovely trip would highly recommend.

    Pinhao cruise and scenic train

    Louise_R, Oct 2025
    Once we got underway, it was ok. Sparkling wine on arrival and continued during the river cruise. This compensated for what we felt were misleading directions that led to late arrivals and late take off. A lovely boat but passengers were split between the fore and aft, so it was difficult for the crew to give us timely information.

    Thank you for the fantastic time

    5+ star experience. Parking is right at the pier, left on time, the boat was perfect, such a nice, small group of people, the 3 staff members were fantastic, communicated well with everyone, shared interesting information about the area, and the landscape absolutely beautiful. Loved everything about this trip. Around 1 hr. 20 min. on boat, train station in Pinhao was very nice to see, trip back on train was around half an hour.

    un bon moment sur le Douro

    Amandine_D, Aug 2026
    Un très bon moment sur le Douro. Un personnel très sympathique qui nous a donné de bonnes explications sur les sols, la vigne. Boisson a volonté. Sympa de pouvoir rentrer en train ensuite

    Very good

    Matthieu_G, Aug 2026
    Very well organized but maybe a bit underwhelming, especially the return by train... check the train schedules to go further.
