The hosts were amazing and treated you like family. The grandma made wonderful jams to compliment the bread, cheese, and meat platter. The hosts allowed us to understand the history and pride that exists within each town in Porto. Finally the landscape was beautiful. We feel fortunate to have experienced the tour. We finished the tour with a picture of our hosts and my daughter Emma.

Incredible experience, and highly recommended! We opted for the 10 a.m. tour over the sunset option and it was the best decision. The water was calm, not as crowded and such a peaceful experience. The charcuterie board was fresh and our tour guides were the sweetest couple and spoke multiple languages. The boat was impeccably clean and I would definitely repeat the experience and recommend to all.

Thank you so much, Jasmin! We’re delighted you chose the morning cruise and felt exactly what makes that time of day so special , calm water, fewer boats and a slower, more peaceful Douro. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Amazing sunset boat trip. Nadia and Paulo were attentive hosts. Boat was very comfortable, and we had welcome drinks and lovely snacks. Attention to detail was super! We booked for our wedding anniversary - a private trip, it was a very special evening.
Beautiful scenery and sunset over the sea...would 100% recommend.

Dear Derek,
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure to welcome you and your lovely daughter Emma aboard our boat, Almadouro.
We’re so glad to hear that you felt at home with us — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for everyone who joins our tour. It means a lot to know you appreciated the homemade jams from Grandma, the local flavors, and the stories behind the beautiful towns along the Douro.
We’re honored to have been part of a special moment for you and Emma, and we hope the memories (and the photo!) stay with you both for years to come.
Warm regards,
Nadia & Paulo
Almadouro Team
Nadia and Paulo were amazing hosts ! My husband and I did the private sunset tour . There is multiple different companies that offer the river cruise tours . However Nadia and Paulo were so welcoming and personable . We received a welcome drink and a snack that was made my Nadia’s mom , so it felt like we were cruising with friends rather than a tour guide. Nadia also gave us a lot of recommendations for things to do in Porto from a locals perspective. You will not regret booking a tour with them ❤️
