A beautiful leisurely ride with wine and snacks. Going out at 7pm is a great time to enjoy the sunset. Definitely worth the trip

A fantastic sunset trip from start to finish! Lovely boat and staff! Carlos was welcoming and kept us entertained with lots of interesting background information and historical points about Porto. Blankets were provided alongside a glass of Porto wine and snacks. I highly recommend spending an evening with this company - you’ll have a superb time!

The boat and tour guides were fantastic! Don’t hesitate to book sunset tour. Thank you for a great evening.
Maria_K, Jul 2026
Absolutely unforgettable experience on the Douro! The sunset views were stunning, the wine was excellent, and the small group made it feel like a private cruise. The crew were friendly, fun, and very welcoming. We’ve done other Douro cruises before, but this was by far our favorite. Highly recommend!
Robert_D, Jul 2026
We had a great time on the Douro River cruise. Miguel and Ines took good care of us on the boat. They were very helpful answering questions we had. I highly recommend this tour!
Holly_J, Jul 2026
This trip was amazing! Inas and Junior were the best hosts and we’d highly recommend. Their knowledge and friendly, warm welcome was lovely.
Matthew_H, Jul 2026
Fantastic - so much better than the cattle bus boats from quay. Just book it!! A small group- in fact just us! Thankyou Matilda and Miguel you were charming and informative- lovely people.
Jonathan_M, Jul 2026
Fantastic cruise! Miguel and Joanna were brilliant, very chatty, friendly and informative of all the local history and architecture. They also gave me plenty of local recommendations for traditional fishes to try and places to visit around Porto. Couldn't recommend this enough, especially for the price!
wendy_t, Jul 2026
Our Sunset trip was absolutely amazing. When on the sailing boat, we listened to commentary sharing the history of Porto and its landmarks. The boat was really comfortable and spacious for those of us onboard. We had a choice of drink as we sailed and had the opportunity to buy more. The river sailing itself was really smooth although did thoroughly enjoy the few minutes we had out in the ocean.
The whole trip was made by both Ines and Carlos. Their knowledge, passion for their job, friendliness and fun, made this a trip to remember. I would totally recommend.
Katie_D, Jul 2026
Fabulous small boat trip, Ines and Carlos were fabulous hosts. Made everyone feel welcome, and were so hospitable & informative about the surrounding areas. Lovely luxury comfortable boat.
Christine_G, Jul 2026
Fabulous river cruise only 4 people plus 2 crew we sat at the front of the boat and it felt like our own private trip very informative but extremely relaxing too.
Frank_d, Jul 2026
Fantastic time. Greeter at the dock was friendly and approachable. Boat crew Kamila and Carlos were warm and entertaining. My family and I had a wonderful time. It felt like a personal sailboat ride with friends as opposed to a company tour.
Safwat_S, Jul 2026
A wonderful cruise. Ines and Junior were amazing! We loved chatting with them. Very courteous and pleasant! Thank you!!
Allison_B, Jul 2026
The crew (André and Miguel) were informative, helpful and friendly. The port wine was a nice touch and much appreciated. Being on smaller vessel with fewer people felt more luxurious and personalised. Everything was clean and comfortable. A beautiful experience. Highly recommended
linh_v, Jul 2026
Amazing luxury boat. Not overly crowded. Really nice experience. Sunset sailing at perfect time. Thanks Phillip & Miguel!!
Alvin_M, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience on the sunset cruise! Chill vibes and smooth sailing. Shout out to Ines, for the good service. Please give her a bonus and a big salary raise!
Janine_A, Jul 2026
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!!

We had a wonderful trip this afternoon with Inês and Carlos.
The were both very knowledgeable and delightful.
We were a group of 5, it is my birthday, which was made extra special by the trip and the operators who went the extra mile.
We appreciated being recommended a nearby restaurant that was NOT a tourist trap. The prices were very reasonably and the food authentic.
Thank you to Inês and Carlos and BBDouro for a wonderful afternoon.
VINCENT_P, Jun 2026

Ema_B, Jun 2026
Boat was big and felt very safe and cool. We were nicely welcomed and guided by Miguel and Ines - they were super friendly and made an experience so fun and relaxing. First we went to Porto city and at the end little bit out to Atlantic. We enjoyed a lot the welcome drinks.
danielle_h, Jun 2026
Guides gave very little information about he bridges or any history. We did not care for the Port wine and was offered white wine instead and was charged for it.
Vanessa_D, Jun 2026
What an incredible experience! The Douro River Cruise with Port Wine was the perfect way to see Porto from the water, with stunning views.
Special thanks to Inês and Miguel for taking such great care of us. Inês especially went above and beyond, so knowledgeable, full of great stories about the city, and she even took photos for us so we could just enjoy the moment. On top of that, she's simply a wonderful, warm person.
Highly recommend this tour - thank you, Inês and Miguel!
Charlotte_C, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful sunset cruise. Innes and Miguel were fantastic.
Innes gave us some fantastic information about Porto! Extremely passionate in the way she spoke. Friendly and welcoming.
The boat was extremely clean and comfortable.
We unfortunately went on an overcast evening however we did manage to race out to the see and watch the sun set!
Would absolutely recommend as you saw so much you would miss if you were just walking. Nice break from the hustle and bustle of the waterfront.
Ryan_C, Jun 2026
We had an amazing experience sailing down the Douro River. Our guide, Ines, was so kind and informative about Porto. Our captain, Castillo was also so nice and informative! We truly had the best time and would recommend to anyone!
Louis_D, Jun 2026
Our guide and captain were Ines and Miguel. A really fun evening; much better than the quick 50 minute runs up and down the river - which are fine as the scenery is spectacular - but this trip was next level. The boat was comfortable, and a nice glass of white port at sunset was not too shabby. Ines and Miguel made a fun vibe where all the passengers bonded with good conversation and mutual enjoyment. It was fun to venture out a small bit into the ocean. Highly recommended.
Rosalyn_E, Jun 2026
Our guides were knowledgeable, competent, friendly, and increased our enjoyment of the river cruise experience. We enjoyed their commentary and competence. They made us feel like very welcome guests.
